Cameron Highlands - Boh Tea Plantation (Sg Palas)

BOH Plantations was founded in 1929 by J.A. Russel, 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.

Following the visit to this beautiful plantation, I now have a soft spot for Boh Tea ... Hmm, maybe I should re-do the Blind Test Tea Challenge :-)



Tea ... tea... everywhere!
