State of NE India with the heaviest rainfall in the world (5)

I believe the answer is:

assam

(Other definitions for assam that I've seen before include "Tea-growing state in north-east India" , "region out east" , "State in northeastern India" , "Leaves to get in hot water" , "Indian state known for its tea production" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
