Morning in the Clouds: Breakfast at BOH Sungei Palas Tea Garden

#springitinerary #travel #malaysiatrulyasia #highlands The world tastes different at 1,500 meters—especially when your morning begins with steam rising from a cup of gold-hued Cameron Highlands tea, its warmth cutting through the mountain chill. At BOH’s Sungei Palas estate, the day starts with the quiet rustle of tea pickers moving through emerald rows, their baskets filling with tender leaves destined for your cup. Arrive by 8:30 AM to claim a window seat in the glass-walled café, where the valley unfolds below like a living watercolor. Order the "Highland Breakfast Set"—buttery scones with clotted cream and house-made strawberry-BOH-tea jam, paired with a pot of their smoky Palas Supreme blend. Between bites, wander the suspended walkway above the plantation, where the air smells like damp earth and young tea shoots. By 11 AM, when the mist burns off to reveal Gunung Brinchang’s silhouette, you’ll understand why this place feels less like a tourist stop and more like a secret between you and the mountains.
