The British founded Cameron Highlands as one of their colonial hill stations, a cooling respite from the Malaysian heat and humidity. They also grew tea here. You’ll spot the odd now-retro Land Rover when you drive up the winding roads into the tea plantations.
We dropped into the BOH Tea Centre for a refreshing cuppa. BOH is the largest Malaysian tea producer and you’ll see their tea boxes in all the local supermarkets. The cafe has a truly glorious view of the tea plantation. When you manage to pull yourself away from it, you can go for a walk among the tea leaves or there are factory tours every half an hour, which take you through the plucking, sifting and drying processes. I was horrified to find out that tea-bag tea is pretty much the lowest grade tea, just one notch up from the leaves they sweep off the floor !

I would love to see a tea plantation. I’m pinning this so I don’t forget. Maybe it can be a side trip during my next trip to Singapore.
That’s great if you can tack on side trips to your business trip. I’m loving your travel spirit.
Do they also do any afternoon tea?
They didn’t lay out a proper afternoon tea, although you could buy tea and cake separately at the cafe. I reckon they’re missing out on a trick there.
