Gaharu, Agarwood, Chén-xīang (沉香), Jin-koh (沈香), Chim Hiang (침향) and Oud (عود) are different names of Gaharu in worldwide languages. The Gaharu lifestyle was practiced by Kings and Royal Families since ancient civilizations. Historic records show that Gaharu is high in medicinal properties, used for spiritual purposes, and processed as fragrances.
HOGA concept is made realized in 1992 when our founder Mr. David Ho received 200 Gaharu seedlings from a Japanese researcher. Mr. David Ho with his passion, perseverance, and determination made an oath to his Japanese friend to undertake the cultivation and production of the Gaharu trees to benefit the world socially, physically and mentally, in other word - holistically. It is well known that the Gaharu trees produce a highly sought after resin that make Gaharu trees the most precious wood in the world. Gaharu is also called the "Wood of God" and it is a gift to mankind. Gaharu was used by Royal Kingdoms around the world way long before date.
It is very important that Gaharu Tea Valley (GTV), Gopeng with the brand name HOGA spearhead the development and protection of this valuable plant for future generations. Due to the preciousness of Gaharu, Gaharu is enlisted as an endangered species (CITES List II). Public awareness has to be created and promoted.
