About Us

Nine decades on the same slope.

Cameron Valley Tea began in 1933 with a stubborn belief that Malaysian soil could grow world-class tea. Four generations later, the same family tends the same slopes — pruning by hand, plucking two-leaves-and-a-bud, and rolling small batches in the estate factory.

What began as a single terrace is now three tea houses, a working plantation you can walk through, and a family of blends we still refine each season.

Our mission is simple: to grow tea worth sitting down for, and to keep the estate open so anyone can see where a good cup begins.

Our values

Slow craft, careful land.

Hand-plucked, small-batch. Every leaf that becomes Cameron Valley tea is plucked and sorted by hand.

Water & soil. We rotate planting, compost on-site, and protect the springs that feed our slopes.

A living estate. The tea houses, walks and rides exist so a good cup can begin somewhere real — and stay open for the next ninety years.
