The Hoga Gaharu Tea Valley is a gaharu tea plantation established in 1992 in Gopeng, Perak.
We recently visited this place with Tourism Malaysia , and discovered that it was listed in the Malaysia Book Of Records as the first organic gaharu tea plantation in the country a few years back.
Gaharu, also known as agarwood, is regarded as a highly valuable plant. It is fragrant, with a dark resinous heartwood. The plantation features a Japanese hybrid of 12 consumable agarwood species. Today, there are about 200,000 trees in the tea valley, and the oldest “resident” there is 31 years old.
The trees have to reach at least 20 to 25 years of maturity before the agarwood, which is found on the ring of the tree bark, can be extracted. However, the yield from every agarwood tree varies, and is unpredictable, making them a precious commodity in the market. The trees also bear fruit and when they are added to the production of tea leaves, the result is a slightly bitter note.Fun fact: The tree has to be naturally “wounded” before it can produce agarwood. This is done by animals via scratching or biting, causing the tree to be infected by a particular bacteria . The tree will then produce a resin that creates the fragrant wood.
