BOH Tea Plantation Review: A Refreshing Day Trip from Kuala Lumpur

Getting away from Kuala Lumpur, you know, it’s almost a must if you are hoping for some fresh air, a bit of greenery, and maybe, just maybe, a chance to sip on some amazing tea. I thought the Cameron Highlands, especially with a visit to the BOH Tea Plantation, was like your perfect escape. Let’s have a relaxed chat about the day trip I took ‘From KL Cameron Highlands with BOH Habu Sungei Tea Visit’ and tell you what you might expect, should you plan to visit. That’s how it is.

Why Cameron Highlands and BOH Tea?

Okay, so the Cameron Highlands? I mean they are super renowned for their rolling hills of tea plantations, and the more comfortable, cooler climate. So you may want to take a break from the tropical heat. Also, for tea lovers, the BOH Tea Plantation, that’s like your premier spot. This name, “BOH,” so that’s short for “Best Of Highlands,” is that something special, very recognizable in Malaysia and beyond. What you’ll discover when there, so the BOH plantations produce some tea, of your famous tea. Very worth exploring.

Getting There: The Road Trip

Alright, from Kuala Lumpur, the drive to Cameron Highlands so can take around three to four hours, if you know, the traffic isn’t playing up too much. You can also organize transportation a little ahead. You might get a guided tour with transportation. Also, you can so totally rent a car. The drive, anyway, is reasonably straightforward, although like, those roads wind and climb quite a bit as you get into the highlands. Still, very pretty scenery. But anyway, brace yourself or those switchbacks! It might be very curvy and long.

First Stop: The BOH Tea Garden in Habu

Visiting the BOH Tea Garden in Habu, that is that one of the main things, honestly! I thought the sight that awaited me was pretty picturesque. Rolling green hills and so many perfectly lined tea bushes, they look like they’re going, going on forever. Really great for landscape photos, actually! It looks vast. If you are very lucky, that early morning mist very gives this location that otherworldly kind of feeling.

The Tea Factory Tour

Okay, so they usually offer a tour, when you’re at the plantation. Anyway, this thing? It showed so the process, you know. When tea leaves are harvested all the way to packaging them ready to get your hands on. Like your audio guides, that may well be offered. In other words you understand each phase, if you’re lucky. Also, you get insight. When to know tea being produced and all the facts and process, that might really impress you. Now, it tends to be noisy in that factory so a little something like earplugs, just for you? A very good idea, that could well be useful, basically!

Tea Tasting with a View

There is a cafe, naturally, if there is such a place such as a tea plantation. Just picture like that. So anyway, sipping your favorite brew and so gazing at a perfect sea of tea leaves? Amazing stuff! A simple cup of tea could just give you a whole new way, that is what makes Cameron Highlands special. But that might be their signature blends like Boh’s Seri Songket or Palas Supreme. Anyway, I was there, it was awesome!

Exploring Sungei Palas Tea Centre

Here’s one that might be appealing, but just to spice it up, Sungei Palas Tea Centre? If I had time I might explore more sites, because this particular centre tends to be really picturesque. The place itself often gets crowded. Keep it in mind. Still that specific hilltop views may justify battling it, if you tend to want to. By the way the café does not tend to serve much other than BOH Tea products.

Things To Buy

When it comes to picking gifts you can actually find a couple of stores dotted about the BOH Plantation’s gardens or at the tea center. I bought black tea and tea with lemon flavor. What I liked most, so these products I could find only on Cameron Highlands in the official BOH store. The prices so were more or less identical with tea you might discover in Kuala Lumpur.

More to See and Do in Cameron Highlands

It’s that day trip. Anyway, I was about to see more, but Cameron Highlands has so much to explore! There are some strawberry farms if you want to do that. You may even get your fresh strawberries that day. Cactus Valley is also worth checking. If you have more time on the farm or the highlands so don’t be so shy! Go ahead and also have local treats!

What You Should Consider

• Wear your very nice walking shoes. Walking, like it’s often necessary to discover all things possible on those rolling hills and for wandering so through those plantation routes.
• Weather Check, what can I tell ya? High altitudes make weather just a bit hard so go for layers, it just depends!
• Just, avoid weekends and holidays, because? Crowds can become overwhelming. What if there’s serenity that gets very easily lost in chaos? A very real risk.
• Be very thirsty? Sure you might love the taste of this highlands and that teas as I tasted over those times I had visited so just check everything out and let’s hope, you get it soon.
• Try some mosquito repellent? Those mozzies bite in the highlands as hard!
