Indian state that borders Bhutan (5)

I believe the answer is:

assam

(Other definitions for assam that I've seen before include "Indian state, famed for its tea" , "Sort of tea" , "NE Indian state (tea)" , "Type of tea" , "Indian tea growing area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
