This September 13, 2017 photo shows Indian tea workers plucking leaves at a tea plantation in Udalguri district of Assam, some 110 km from Guwahati. Assam is the largest producing area for tea in India, producing about 51 percent of the country's total tea output. The world is meanwhile facing a shortage of prized tea from nearby Darjeeling, because of deadly unrest that has affected the June-August harvest season that normally provides the bulk of the nearly eight million kilos of its tea sold a year – most of which goes to Europe.
