Malino Tea Plantation is situated around 70 kilometres to the east of Makassar on the lower slopes of Mt. Bawakaraeng, Malino was once a hill station resort for Dutch colonial residents in the area. With its misty hillsides clad in emerald green tea shrubs, it is still a remarkably beautiful and cool escape from the heat of the city. Famous for its tea gardens with a stunning array of teas, fruits and flowers, the Malino tea plantation is highly recommended for a visit.
