Malaysia Trip Day 1 - Cameron Highland

My coach no: 2649. Seat no: 7B. Tour guide for this whole trip was a young guy who was born in the same year as my brother. We all addressed him as 小弟。 Although he told us to call him 啊龙。He said cause he's born in the year of dragon. Though young, I felt that he knows alot and was a good tour guide who told us lots of stories during the bus ride.



Time: 7am reached Cameron highland.

Breakfast: Wantan Mee.



First stop: Tea Garden.

It was founded by William Cameron in 1926 from England. The temperature is around 21 to 24 degree and is suitable for growing tea, strawberries. Red tea leaf, green tea leaf and Wu Long tea. BOH is a brand name and it stands for Best Of Highland. All the condition fulfill the condition to plant this tea leaves. Teh Tarik is origins from the Indians of Malaysia. The reason why the pouring process of "pulling" the drink during preparation is done repeatedly is firstly to make sure the fragrance is totally spread out. Secondly is the temperature has drop after the preparation so it's not so hot and elderly and kids can drink without burning their tongues.
