A trip to Assam would undoubtedly be incomplete without sampling some of the state’s finest tea. Lal Chah is so-called because of the reddish-brown hue that characterises it. It is a milkless tea flavoured with liberal sprinklings of sugar and spices and an optional dash of lemon juice. It promises to be a must-try perk up for weary passengers.
