Okay, so I saw this “black tea from india crossword” thing popping up and thought, “Why not?” I’m always up for a little brain teaser, and I do love my tea. Plus, I figured it would be a fun little experiment to share.

First, I googled “black tea from india crossword” to see what would come up. I got a bunch of crossword puzzle solver sites, and some general info about Indian teas. Nothing too specific, which was kind of a bummer.

I decided to just jump in and try one of the crossword solvers. I typed in the clue and the number of letters, and boom, a few options popped up. The most obvious one was “ASSAM.” I mean, it’s a super popular black tea, right?

To double-check, I did another quick search, this time for “Assam tea.” Yep, it’s definitely a black tea from India. Bingo!

Then I thought, “What about other possibilities?” So I went back to the crossword solver and looked at the other suggestions. “DARJEELING” was another one. Another classic Indian black tea!

• ASSAM: Bold, malty, and strong. Makes sense for a crossword clue.
• DARJEELING: Lighter, more floral. Also a totally valid answer.
• NILGIRI: This one also could be the one. it’s a bit less known.

So, basically, I used a crossword solver, did some quick searches to verify, and came up with a couple of solid answers. It wasn’t rocket science, but it was a fun little diversion. And hey, I learned a little bit more about Indian black teas in the process!
