We do not stop at the Bharat tea-house. Instead we drive on towards Ringlet and turn off to go to the Boh plantation, some 6km away from the junction at the main road. We pass through vegetable plots and once we enter the private property of Boh, we are surrounded by tea plants, arranged like a giant mosaic. It is indeed a wonderful sight, as the road narrows and begins an uphill climb. A lot of blind corners so one must use the car horn liberally to warn of any oncoming vehicles.
Soon after, we arrive at the Boh tea-house which comprises a deck (to enjoy your fresh tea and cakes), a shop and a video room (to screen videos on Boh to visitors) . Behind this visitor area, there is the Boh tea factory, where freshly-picked tea leaves become tea in packets ready for the market. We are at 4,700 feet above sea level - and a cool refreshing gentle breeze greets us.
