Sungei Palas Tea Garden
The Sungei Palas Tea Garden is perched high up in the hills, offering breathtaking views of lush green plantations. It is home to BOH’s iconic Visitor Centre, known for its striking modern architecture that appears to float over the tea fields. Here, you can enjoy a wide selection of BOH teas at the cosy café, take a guided tour to learn about the tea-making process, and shop for exclusive tea merchandise. Large glass windows and an open-air terrace allow visitors to soak in the sweeping views while sipping freshly brewed tea. It is the perfect spot to relax, take photos, and truly appreciate the beauty of tea cultivation.
BOH Tea Garden (Ringlet)
The BOH Tea Garden, located near Ringlet, is the oldest and largest of BOH’s plantations, covering over 465 hectares. This historic site houses BOH’s very first tea factory, built in the 1930s, where visitors can still see the traditional ‘Rotorvane’ tea processing system in action — a rare sight today. The journey to the tea centre takes you along scenic trails surrounded by rolling hills. Quaint colonial buildings, once used during the Malaysian Emergency, add a touch of history to the experience. Here, visitors can tour the working factory, enjoy a variety of teas and pastries at the BOH Café, shop for gifts, and even hike behind the factory trails to discover hidden mountain viewpoints.
