Gunung Mas Tea Plantation
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon offers soft light for photos and cooler temperatures, plus fewer tour groups. Dry season, June to September, gives clearer valley views and less mud underfoot.
Budget tips
Small entrance fee, usually IDR 10,000–20,000; factory tour and tasting often cost extra, bring cash as card machines are rare and no major tourist passes apply. Join a shared minibus from Bogor or skip guided tours to save on transport and fees.

About
Datos rápidos: Emerald terraces sweep across steep hills, neat rows of tea bushes glinting when sunlight cuts through the morning mist. Local workers still hand-pluck using woven baskets, and visitors follow narrow paths for close-up views and a quiet cup at a roadside stall.
Destacados: Damp air carries a citrusy, cut-grass perfume as pluckers use the 'two leaves and a bud' method, frequently filling 20–30 kilograms into woven baskets by midday. A tiny tasting hut brews cups from leaves harvested that morning, so you can sip sun-grown and shaded batches side by side and notice a clear difference in brightness and body.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy, closed shoes for narrow, sometimes muddy plantation paths.
- Bring a light rain jacket and layers because mountain weather changes quickly.
- Climb the ridge near the visitor center for panoramic sunrise or late-afternoon photos.
- Skip packaged teas sold roadside, buy directly from the plantation shop or local market for fresher leaves and better prices.
