BOH Tea Centre

Founded during the British colonial era by the British businessman J. A. Russel, the plantation has grown considerably since 1929. It's expanded from a small tract of land in Habu to acres of tea-growing sites in the Cameron Highlands.

The name BOH comes from “Bohea”, the hills in Fujian Province where tea was originally thought to have been discovered. During WW2, the estate was occupied by the Japanese and largely abandoned. After Malaysia declared independence from the British Empire in 1957, the Russels remained in the nation, and the company grew as they acquired several other tea farming operations. Today, at over 8,000 ac, this tea plantation is the largest in SE Asia.
