Boh Sungei Palas Tea Estate

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:52:25

The Cameron Highlands' most famous tea plantation has a modern visitors centre, where you can watch a video on the estate’s history. There’s also a giftshop selling every version of Boh tea you can imagine and a pleasant cafe where you can sip tea while looking out over the lush plantations below. Free 15-minute tours showing the tea-making process are conducted during opening hours. Wait for a staff member to collect you from the visitor centre.

The estate lies in the hills north of Brinchang, off the road to Gunung Brinchang; buses running between Tanah Rata and Kampung Raja pass the turn-off to Gunung Brinchang. From there it’s 4km along the winding road to the plantation entrance, past worker housing and a Hindu temple (tea pickers are predominantly Indian), after which it’s another 15 minutes’ walk downhill to the visitors' centre.
