Sungai Palas BOH Tea Centre at Cameron Highlands
BOH Tea Vivitor Parking area
Once we got out of the car, there still a short distance to walk to the Tea Centre, it's locate at the small hill in the Tea Farm. The walk was refreshing and relax, it took about 10-15 minutes.
It was a nice walk within the Green...
The BOH Tea Centre is one of the Famous Attracttion in Cameron Highlands. I had been attracted by the unique structure of the tea centre on the hill which is not too far away...
The unique structure that protruded on the hill
If you notice the stairs next to it, that will be our return path later...

The place was crowded! Yeah...it's a tourist hotspot. :)
I like the design very much. Let me share some photos in the cafe...
The Cafe area of the BOH Tea Centre
Everyone is busy queuing up for their snacks and drinks...included me...
There are indoor and outdoor area in the cafe...
The ourdoor or so call balcony area of the cafe
The scenic view...
We had 2 cups of BOH milk tea and a sausage with the unique name - 'Firecracker'. I bought it cause by the name...total bill was around RM15.
The sausage
The 'tea' was quite bland and the sausage was cold, not crunchy...but all of this was not our purpose to visit, it was actually the 'View'!
Look at the Breathtaking view from the cafe! It was Fantastic! We were relaxing at the cafe for more than an hour...Nice!
Scenic view from the cafe
This was the place where I can forget about everything and just sit at the cafe to enjoy the Marvelous view of the tea plantation! We can see the small village (where we parked our car) clearly from the cafe...
The photo above was on my right and the photo below was on my left...

There is a small session selling all the tea leaf produced by the farm just within the Tea Centre, beside that you can also read the history of BOH Tea Farm at the gallery...
The BOH Tea Centre Gallery
That is the machine to grind and dry the tea leaf (correct me if I'm wrong) which is still in operation at the factory.
Had our factory walk after the tea break, and it's open for public.
BOH Tea Factory
Once we stepped in, there were 2 machines grinding the tea leafs....there's no clear explaination on the operation, so we have to base on what we saw within the production area.
The grinder machines
The next session is where all the grinded dried tea leafs send for packing...I guess...
We chose to walk through the tea farm in our return path to the parking area. You can smell the tea leafs while walking...nice!
The path where we walked back to our car...
It was a nice experience having the tea break at the cafe! Especially the fresh air! I wish they can provide some info at the production area, and all visitors can understand the process of the tea leafs, that's make the perfect trip to BOH Tea Centre of Cameron Highlands.
History of the BOH Tea Plantation at Cameron Highlands
"BOH Plantations was founded in 1929 by J.A. Russell, a British businessman during the British colonial era in Malaya. He was optimistic of the tea plantation business due to huge demands despite of the world-wide Great Depression at that time. As a result of the potential, he applied for and was granted a concession of land for his first tea garden in Habu, Cameron Highlands.
Today, BOH Plantations owns three tea gardens - the first garden in Habu, Fairlie Tea Garden and Sungai Palas Tea Garden. To ensure the freshness of its tea products, BOH Plantations also set up a packaging factory near its main garden. BOH tea products are distributed both in domestic and international markets."
