Sungai Palas is a tea plantation located about 5 km north of town Brinchang or 2km away from Kea Farm Market. Owned and managed by Boh Tea, it complements their main estate at Habu in Ringlet, featuring its very own tea center, visitor gallery, and show factory. Likewise, the Sungai Palas tea garden is also shut up within its own isolated valley away from the main road, with access to a narrow route past bungalow, forests, and farms. The road in begins at the left after the Butterfly Garden, with a large signboard that clearly indicates the way. The road opposite is the Bee Farm. After the short but windy stretch, the view breaks into a magnificent panorama of vast tea fields stretched across the valley and slopes.
Sungai Palas Entrance
Follow the road right from the signboard until the end; the Sungai Palas Boh Tea Centre is perched on top of a small hill.
Visitors can park their car and then walk up by paved road, or trail through a tea garden that climbs across the slope.
Facing the tea center is a garden area planted with lilies, cannas, and flowering shrubs; visitors often relax here under the shade of small oak trees. The tea center itself is a spacious complex with fancy bits of modern architecture and design.
From the entrance, a cafe sits left with an overhanging platform for viewing the scenery, while the right leads through an exhibition gallery, past the Boh’Ria tea shop, next to a video room, and finally ending at a small museum and garden area. An old factory for tea production still functions at the back; it’s open to visitors just like the main Boh tea estate. Sungai Palas Tea Centre is free to visit and open daily from 9 am to 4.30 pm but closes on Mondays.
You can drive to the top of the Gunung Brinchang to see the sunrise and the whole view in Cameron Highlands. Top of Gunung Brinchang is the coolest place in Cameron Highlands, normally about 10’C in the early morning.

The History of Sweet Corn: From Ancient Times to Modern Cuisine Sweet corn is a…
Sweet corn is a beloved staple in many kitchens, known for its crisp texture and naturally sweet flavor. To enjoy it at its best, it's important to know how to choose and store it properly. Here are some tips to ensure your sweet corn stays fresh and delicious. Choosing the Perfect Sweet Corn Look for Green Husks: When picking sweet corn, start by checking the husks. They should be green color and tightly wrapped around the cob. If you notice any brown or dried-out husks, it's a sign that the corn isn't fresh. Feel for Firm Kernels: Give the corn a gentle squeeze through the husk. The kernels should feel firm and plump. If they’re mushy or shriveled, put that cob back – it’s past its prime. Check the Silk: The silk (those thread-like strands coming out of the top) should be slightly sticky to the touch and look fresh. Depending on the variety of sweet corn, the color can range from light to dark, so focus more on its condition rather than the specific color. Check for Insects: Look for any small holes or damaged areas on the husk. These could be signs of insect infestation. A clean, undamaged husk is what you’re aiming for. Storing Sweet Corn Refrigerate Immediately: Corn starts to lose its sweetness as soon as it’s picked, so refrigerate it as soon as possible to preserve its flavor. According to the University of Illinois Extension, corn can lose up to 50% of its sugar within 24 hours if not refrigerated. Keep the Husks On: Store the corn with the husks still on. They act as a natural protective barrier and help retain moisture. Reader testimonial: “I’ve always kept the husks on my sweet corn before storing it, and it’s remained fresh and flavorful for several days.” Use a Plastic Bag: Place the ears of corn in a plastic bag to keep them from drying out. Make sure the bag is closed tightly. Freeze for Long-Term Storage: If you can't use the corn within a few days, remove the…
