About Bihar, India

The northernmost part of Bihar borders Nepal and approaches the foothills of the Himalayans; its climate is warmer and has less rainfall. Much of Bihar only receives substantial rainfall for about 5 months of the year, during the summer monsoon, and is quite dry during the rest of the year. This climate makes it less ideal for growing the tea plant. The northeastern most region of Bihar is that which is wettest, and incidentally this region is closest to the other major tea-producing regions of India.
Bihar is not globally important in tea production, but there is a small amount of tea commercially produced in Bihar. The most famous tea garden is Doke estate, which produces artisan teas using the Assamica cultivar also used in Assam.
