State of NE India producing large quantities of tea (5)

I believe the answer is:

assam

(Other definitions for assam that I've seen before include "brew?" , "Indian tea-producing region" , "North-east Indian tea state" , "Indian tea growing area" , "Indian tea-growing state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
