{'himachal pradesh': [6, 1, 6, 4], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'tea': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'tripura': [12, 1, 7, 9], 'above eire': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The question asks about the number of states among the ones provided that are known for tea production. Usually, places with a high altitude and monsoon-affected climate are suitable for tea cultivation.

1. Andhra Pradesh: Not traditionally associated with tea production, it has recently witnessed growth in this sector, particularly in the Araku Valley.

2. Kerala: Known for its diverse agricultural produce, Kerala does produce tea, particularly in the hilly areas of Munnar.

3. Himachal Pradesh: The state of Himachal Pradesh is primarily known for apple cultivation but it is also a significant tea producer, particularly in areas like Kangra and Mandi.

4. Tripura: It`s one of the northeastern states. Tea cultivation is extensive in the northeastern region of India, and Tripura forms a part of it.

So, all four states - Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, and Tripura - are indeed tea-producing regions. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4 (All four States).
