| BOH tea plantation |
A visit to the Cameron Highlands is not complete without hiking to a tea plantation.
I found out that the first tea plantations have been started in Malaysia almost one hundred years ago by the Scottish. The plantations have been expanding ever since. Tea demand is soaring and expected to do so in the future. There is a shortage of manual labor to work on the plantations. Despite technical advances, lots of manual labor is still required to maintain the massive plantations on steep hillslopes.

| Tea processing |
The tea drying and packing process is automated in a factory. Bags of processed tea leaves are shipped to factories to Kuala Lumpur where they are flavored and packaged for mass distribution.

The BOH tea plantation runs a restaurant where the various teas may be tasted. I tried the BOH Palas Supreme, one of their black teas.
