Sabah, Tea Garden.

I was actually on the way up north and made a stop here to visit this unique tea plantation in Sabah. This award winning brand is also the top tea supplier and exporter in Borneo which carries a wide number of tea selections. As a destination on the way up north of Borneo, many travelers make a stop over here or even spend a night here to experience the unique teas and see how the tea process is done.



Once you get here, the first thing you will see is the main reception building which houses the reception, restaurant and also the souvenir shop which sells all the ranges of tea and many other products. Around the back, they have a cottage area which acts like a cozy little homestay with little gardens outside each unit. 

At the factory area, a full tour is offered from how the tea is collected, processed and final packaging process. Then a demonstration is done sin a room to show you the difference of low quality and high quality teas. This was quite interesting as I never knew that you could dye tea leaves as it was demonstrated in two cups before my eyes. Finally, in the last room, there was a range of all the products sold since the early days. When you exit the factory showroom, you can then go into the main tea plantation and see the actual tea trees there. For the record, Malaysia has a few tea plantations where Sabah Tea is the largest in Borneo while Bharat Tea in Cameron Highlands is the largest on the peninsular.
