Known for
The Cameron Highlands are known for tea estates, cool mountain weather, vegetable farms, flower gardens and a landscape shaped by British-era highland agriculture.
Terroir
At elevations above Malaysia's tropical lowlands, the Cameron Highlands have cooler temperatures, frequent cloud cover and abundant rainfall. Rolling slopes and forest edges create a distinct setting for tea, vegetables, flowers and temperate-climate crops.
Cultivation
Tea and horticultural crops are cultivated on managed hillsides, terraces and sheltered valleys. Soil conservation, drainage and careful slope management are important in this high-rainfall environment. Exact farm and processing practices should be verified by supplier.
