Like all of Assam's estates, the lives of the planters that call Behora home are filled with solitude, excitement and constant adventure. Whether it's battling poisonous snakes like the Banded Crait or Black Cobra or responding to plucker's reports of wild Bengal Tigers, there is always something to keep you on your toes. (And that's before any talk of producing tea!) Life on Behora has always been this way. Many years ago a planter wrote of the \"tea\" life in a poem entitled \u003cem\u003eThe Tea Planters Poem. \u003c\/em\u003eIn it he wrote: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo Planter Friends I lift a glass\u003cbr\u003eTo you, who've kept alive\u003cbr\u003eThe memory of Planters past\u003cbr\u003eAcross dark moors of time... \u003cbr\u003eAnd to the Trade that bears the tea name\u003cbr\u003eMy sisters and my brothers\u003cbr\u003eI'd rather be a Tea man in your eyes\u003cbr\u003eThan an accountant in any others.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHear! Hear! So, what makes the life of a planter on Behora so interesting, other than the snakes and tigers? Well, there are also the Rhinos. Behora lies in close proximity to Kaziranga National Park, founded in 1905 at the behest of Mary Victoria Leiter, wife of then Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon. The park is home to the world's largest herd of Rhinoceri, a testament to the ecological preservation of the area. From time to time the Rhinos have been known to cross onto Estate property, doing quite a number on tea bushes and other surrounding fauna as they do. Still, as evidenced by the poem, living with these diversions is by many counts preferable to sitting behind a desk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is another upside to the abundance of wildlife surrounding Behora. It is a sure sign that conservation efforts in the district are working. With this in mind, Behora's, management takes great care to ensure that portions of land are left open for birds, monkeys and other animals. The same care goes into selecting the two leaves and a bud that go into Behora's teas. This June production FBOP is a tremendous example of the best Assam has to offer.

Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help capture the malty character of this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Cold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(to make 1 liter\/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1\/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1867197185,"sku":"538-10","price":10.07,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867197249,"sku":"538-250","price":19.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867197313,"sku":"538-500","price":29.64,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867197377,"sku":"538-1000","price":55.93,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/538.jpeg?v=1442448935","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/behora-fbop-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
