When I visit a country for the first time\u2014like I did recently in Malaysia<\/strong>\u2014I always want to see everything right away. Ideally, the whole country at once. That\u2019s pretty unrealistic. So I try to plan my trip so that I visit just a few areas\u2014but ones that are as diverse as possible. Fortunately, that works well in Malaysia; the country is small, and you can get around quickly and comfortably by bus, train, car, plane, or boat. <\/p>\n\n

So after a weekend in Kuala Lumpur<\/a>, I took the bus to the Cameron Highlands<\/strong>, to Tanah Rata<\/strong>. In the middle of the interior, in the middle of the mountains, in the middle of the tea plantations. Pure nature. And pretty much the complete opposite of busy Kuala Lumpur. And the fresh air. A little cooler – but pleasant in summer. And the nature here was really good for me: you can find out everything you can do in the Cameron Highlands in this article! <\/p>\n\n

Cameron Highlands: Malaysia’s tea paradise<\/h2>\n\n

The tea plantations<\/strong> ensure that the landscape is dotted with lush green fields. This is because only the very young, light green leaves are picked for our tea, while the older, dark green leaves remain on the bush. And so the tea plantations stretch like a bright green blanket over the mountain landscape of the Cameron Highlands. Incidentally, the tea plantations here are – how could it be otherwise – a legacy of the British, who found perfect conditions here in colonial times to grow their beloved tea. Mild tropical climate, not too hot, not too cold. <\/p>\n\n

Original BOH tea from the Cameron Highlands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the time I was in Malaysia, I became an absolute tea drinker. And after being able to enjoy really good tea right at the source in the Cameron Highlands, so to speak, I am now quite discerning when it comes to good tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But luckily I can now order my tea happiness from the Cameron Highlands directly to my home! In the Salacca tea house you will find a wide variety of BOH tea from Malaysia! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it wasn’t just the tea that the English brought with them, but also plenty of Land Rovers<\/strong> to get them through the adventurous landscape. To this day, the world’s highest density of Land Rovers can be found in the Cameron Highlands! <\/p>\n\n
