Gaharu Tea Valley is an agarwood plantation just outside Gopeng, Perak and has become something of an agro-tourism destination. Agarwood (also known as gaharu in Malay or oud in Arabic) is an aromatic resinous wood which forms inside aquilaria trees when they become infected with a certain type of mould. Agarwood is highly prized for its powerful, exotic fragrance as well as its medicinal and health-giving properties. Its popularity in Middle Eastern and Chinese cultures and its high commercial value has led to agarwood becoming rare and endangered in the wild. This 300 acre project, with over 200,000 organically cultivated trees of various ages, is helping to conserve the aquilaria species. The project began around two decades ago but the facilities have only been open to the public for the past couple of years. Gaharu Products The tree has multiple uses and various products are made in their factory and sold in the Gaharu Retail Shop which are both located onsite at the plantation. Products include: Gaharu Tea Gaharu Cookies Gaharu Instant Noodles Gaharu Soup Mix Gaharu Nougat Gaharu Oil/Fragrance Gaharu Wood Chip Health Benefits of Gaharu Tea It is claimed that tea made from Gaharu leaves can help reduce blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, improve sleep quality, treat hangovers, constipation, flatulence, gout and asthma. Anti-cancer and anti-aging properties are also claimed.
