TEA FROM ASSAM

"CHai-GARAM.... garam-chai, " a vendor called out in a high-pitched voice. He came up to their window and asked. "Chai, sa'ab? " "Give us two cups. " Pranjol said. They sipped the steaming hot liquid. Almost everyone in their compartment was drinking tea too. "Do you know that over eighty crore cups of tea are drunk every day throughout the world? " Rajvir said. "Whew! " exclaimed Pranjol. "Tea really is very popular. " The train pulled out of the station. Pranjol buried his nose in his detective book again. Rajvir too was an ardent fan of detective stories, but at the moment he was keener on looking at the beautiful scenery. It was green, green everywhere. Rajvir had never seen so much greenery before. Then the soft green paddy fields gave way to tea bushes. 

It was a magnificent view. Against the backdrop of densely wooded hills a sea of tea bushes stretched as far as the eye could see. Dwarfing the tiny teaplants were tell sturdy shade-trees and amidst the orderly rows of bushes busily moved doll-like figurs. In the distance was an ugly bullinding with smoke billowing out of tall chimneyes. "Hey, a tea garden! " Rajvir cried excitedly, Prnjol, Who had been bron and brought up on a plantation, didn't share Rajvir's excitement. "Oh, this is tea country now, " he said. "Assam has the largest concentration of plantations in the world. You will see enough gardens to last you a lifetime! " "I have been reading as much as I could about tea,  " Rajvir said,. "No one really knows who discovered tea but there are many legends. " What legends? " "Well, there's the one about the Chinese emperor who always boiled water before drining under the pot fell into the water giving it a delicious flavour. It is asid they were tea leaves. " "Tell me another! " Scoffed Pranjol. "We have an Indian legend too. Bodhidharma, an ancient Buddhist ascetic, cut off his eyelids because he felt sleepy during meditations. Ten tea plants grew out of the eyelids. The leaves of these plants when put ni hot water and drank in China, " Rajvir added, "as far back as 2700 B. C.! In fact words such as tea. " Chai" and "chini" are from Chinese. Tea come to Europe only in the sixteenth century and was durnk more as medicine than as medicine than as beverage. " The train clattered into Mariant junction. The boys callected their luggage and pushed their way to the crowded platform.
