Boh Tea Plantations

One of my stops in Cameron Highlands was their tea plantations which belong to 'Boh'. I just found out recently that BOH stands for 'Best Of Highland'... Anyway, this tea centre i visited in Sungei Palas is a relatively new one, so everything was still spick and span.



They have a guided tour once every 30 minutes, which relays to tourists how the tea leaves are harvested and processed, followed by their segregation to different classes of tea.



There is a very modern feel to the design of this place. It has a open concept, which is nice because the air there was really fresh. We travelled through winding roads, weaving across the tea plantations just to come here, but the journey along the way was scenic, with endless tea bushes stretching miles and miles away.




This a teahouse just beside the factory, perched precariously on the cliff overlooking the rolling hills. They sell, you guessed it, BOH tea to go with scones and cakes.



And these 2 photos were taken at the end of the teahouse. It may scare those who are afraid of heights, but it is very calming to see things so green.
