History
In ancient times, the Gilan region was indeed divided into 'the Caspian' and 'the Golha' (flowers) sub-regions. Before Iran's present provincial divisions, the Sefid-Rud River did indeed partition Gilan into eastern and western regions, with the river's eastern side referred to as Biehpish and the western side as Biehpas. Lahijan did become the capital of Biehpish at a certain point in time. The region has historically been a major silk-producing center in Iran and was indeed the country's first area for tea cultivation, set out by Prince Mohammad Mirza, known as "Kashef-ol-Saltaneh."
Prince Mohammad Mirza's role in tea cultivation and his strategy to learn the secrets of tea production while posing as a French laborer in British-controlled India is a factual account. He successfully transported tea samples back to Iran, which was instrumental in initiating tea cultivation in the country. His mausoleum in Lahijan is now part of the "Iran Tea Museum."
