4:30pm gates close, no entry into plantation 5:00pm counter close
Drive to tea centre is packed and small. Best to have another vehicle in front of you so you don’t have to do all the hard work😆 the view otw to the tea centre is great.
Food - average.
Lychee rose cheese cake has interesting texture. With the rose jelly on top, lychee kinda cream and the biscuity crust, i give jt a 6.5/10,
Scones - a bit dry, and sides were very little for the price paid. 11 bucks. Not worth getting, go get scones somewhere else instead. 4/10
Tea - cameronian ‘o’ ice is very teh o ais like, if you like that then go for it. Palas supreme is kinda floral, a very bright and light tea.
There are some exclusive tea leaves that you can only get here. One of which is palas supreme. So you can try it first at the cafe and see if you wanna buy it at the gift store. iirc 100g was rm35 or so.
Tea tasting was the highlight! The staff Sangeeta was very friendly (i hope i spelled your name correctly!😆). There were plenty of posters advertising it but no clear instructions on how to sign up for the tea tasting. Just head to the gelato ice cream counter, right after the gift shop, and talk to the staff. It was RM25 per pax, minimum 2 pax. Check the timings, forgot to photograph. There’s like 1pm and 3pm, forgot the earlier timings.
Ms Sangeeta guided us through the 45mins journey and explaining the process of how the tea leaves are harvested and processed, and then how we get the final product, ending with the tea tasting of 5 different teas. Very chatty and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend!
As a Malaysian, I think we as a society should join more of these kind of events, to educate ourselves and also to learn the history and processes of what we take for granted. If there’s anything to take away from here, I would say the tea tasting experience was the highlight.
Views around the plantation is great. No factory tour for me around 3-4pm as they closed early to clean the factory due to a small harvest amount in the morning. So no more processing to show visitors. Come early if need be, every 20 mins...
Read moreThe Boh Tea Plantation, located in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia, is one of the most famous tea estates in the country and offers a rich experience for visitors. Here's a detailed review of what you can expect when visiting:
Scenery and Atmosphere The plantation is set amidst rolling hills covered with lush tea bushes, providing breathtaking panoramic views. The cool, misty climate of the Cameron Highlands adds to the serene and tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The green landscape is stunning, especially when the sun casts its light over the tea bushes.
Tea Factory Tour Visitors can take a guided tour of the tea factory to learn about the tea-making process, from plucking the leaves to the final packaging. The tour is informative, giving insight into the history of Boh Tea and how tea is produced. It's fascinating to see the old machines in operation and understand the meticulous care that goes into making tea.
Tea Center and Cafe After the tour, visitors can head to the Tea Center and Cafe, where you can sample various types of Boh tea. The cafe is perched on a ridge, offering an incredible view while you sip your tea. The scones and cakes served here are popular, and pairing them with a cup of freshly brewed tea is a must. The outdoor seating area is particularly lovely, allowing you to relax while taking in the natural beauty around you.
Shopping The gift shop at the Boh Tea Plantation offers a range of products, including different varieties of Boh tea, souvenirs, and tea-related items. It's a great place to pick up gifts or stock up on your favorite teas.
Accessibility and Crowds The plantation can get quite crowded, especially on weekends and holidays, so it's advisable to visit early in the morning to avoid the rush. The roads leading to the plantation are narrow and winding, which can be challenging to navigate, but the journey is worth it once you arrive. The plantation is well-maintained, and staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Read moreDear management,
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding the parking arrangements at Cameron Highland Tea Farm on February 6th at 9 a.m. My experience was marred by the lack of clear signage and the misdirection provided by a group of jeep vehicle owners, resulting in unnecessary inconvenience and frustration.
Upon arriving at the tea farm, I was dismayed to find that there were available parking lots; however, access to them was obstructed by the aforementioned group of jeep owners directing vehicles to areas where parking was not permitted. Despite the presence of clear parking spaces, their unauthorized direction led to congestion and confusion among visitors.
It is unacceptable that visitors were deprived of the opportunity to park their vehicles in designated areas due to the arbitrary actions of a select group. The absence of proper signage exacerbates the issue, leaving patrons vulnerable to manipulation and inconvenience.
As a customer, I expect fair and equitable access to parking facilities, especially when visiting a popular tourist destination such as Cameron Highland Tea Farm. The lack of oversight and enforcement regarding parking regulations reflects poorly on the management of the establishment.
I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation and ensure that appropriate measures are implemented to prevent similar occurrences in the future. This may include installing clear signage indicating designated parking areas and enforcing penalties for individuals who disrupt parking arrangements.
Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with assurance that steps will be taken to address this issue promptly. Failure to do so may compel me to explore alternative courses of action to ensure that the rights of patrons are upheld.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address my concerns and improve the overall visitor experience at Cameron...
