Sgnage tentang sejarah Ladang Teh Bharat

A young man by the name Shivparshad Bansal arrived in Taiping to assist his uncle in running a general provision store. He was 12 years old. Born in Agra India, Shuparshad worked hard to lay the foundation of what is today known as the Bharat Group of Companies. After a few years, he moved to Tapah and opened up his own sundry business. Meanwhile, he started to expand his business by acquiring 70 acres of land to plant rubber in Bidor. In 1920, work in the Tapah-CH road had begun and Shuparshad was awarded the contract to supply food ration and sundries to the large labour force that had come to work on this project. As the road up to the mountain began to take shape, Shuparshad become more established. He worked his way from Ringlet to BOH estate than to Tanah Rata. The Tanah Rata shop became the headquarters of his own business known as Shuparshad & Sons. He continued to expand further and bought 50 acres of land from the British govt for tea cultivation in Kuala Terla. This was the family’s first foray into tea. Today, tea remains the spiritual core business of the Bharat Group of Companies. After the demise of Shuparshad in 1940 his eldest son Datuk Sri Brij Kishore was a dynamic businessmen and entrepreneur who went on to expand the tea business further by acquiring and developing more tea estates. After establishing himself as a successful wholesaler of tea to the world’s leading tea retailers he started his own tea brand in 1960 with the name ‘CHOPRUSA’. This retail business was expanded by introducing ‘Cameron Valley’ in 1996. Today, Cameron Valley has a complete range of teas ranging from premium teas, flavoured teas, and a herbal tea range. Today, Datuk Kesav and Datuk Vinod are at the helm of this family business. The 4^th generation, Shuparshad’s great-grandchildren, are actively involved in the operation and are continuing the family legacy. While maintaining the core focus on tea, they are now diversifying into tourism and agro-tourism. This family is a pioneering family of CH and their company’s development graph is intertwined with the growth of CH. We strongly believe in the preservation of the environment and the sanctity of this place.
