About BOH

1

About the Company About the Company Up till today, BOH Plantation has expanded to three tea garden, which is the first garden n Habu, Fairlie Tea Garden and Sungai Palas Tea Garden. In order to guarentee the freshness of its tea products, BOH Plantations has set up a packaging factory near its main garden. Boh tea products are currently available both in domestic and in the international markets.

Boh Plantation (BOH) was established by J.A. Russel, a British businessman during the colonial era in Malaya on 1929. Despite of the world-wide Great Depression at that time, Russel was optimistic in the tea plantation business due to the many demand in this industry. As the result of his hardwork and determination, he was granted of his application to a concession of land to build his first tea garden in Habu, Cameron Highlands.

Boh Packaging Boh Packaging Boh Tea uses different types of packaging, some being in a canister, some in a bag, depending on the flavour of that paticular tea.

Packaging Packaging ObjectiveObjective The product that I will focus on is BOH Alternative Tea. It is a range of non-traditional tea, providing a refreshing selection of fruit infusions, herb infusions and green tea. I have chosen the Passionfruit Orange flavour from these series, as it provides a bold contrast of tropical passionfruit with juicy oranges, offering a refreshing brew for any time of the day.

One of the major stregths of BOH is that it produces a vast variety of products, with different taste and flavours, catering to people of all ages, be it young and old, encouraging them to sit back and indulge in the “Ummph” of their tea. Each products serves different purposes, some providing a calming relaxing effect, a revitalizing mind and body while some others providing a cooling effect, resulting in a clear mind and refreshed spirit.

On the contrary, one of the downside of BOH is that the market is flooded with tea products from numerous manufacturers.

Competitors, (namely Lipton, Twining, Nestea, etc) , are seemingly pushing their products into the market, overshadowing BOH’s market share.

5

Packaging Packaging ObjectiveObjective Eventhough BOH tea is the largest manufacturer of Black Tea and is a well known No. 1 preferred brand in Malaysia, however, with the many competitors penetrating the market and introducing more and more new tea products today, it has been a struggle to compete among each other, each screaming and shouting for consumers attention. One of the ways to improve this is to work on BOH’s packaging.

The current packaging (as seen on the right) is not as attractive in terms of the color, specially the green and yellow background doesn’t make the product standout. It doesn’t seem to scream “Buy me!”, people might just walk pass and not even bother to lift the product up.

A revamp of the packaging will be done on the Alternative Tea, Passionfruit Orange Flavour. This revamp aims to attract people’s attention as well as to expose to more people of this particular series, the Alternative tea, with the selection of herb and infusion tea.

The tea bags are placed inside each of the flaps of the round 3D passion and orange fruit. Each flap is preforated where one has to tear the preforated part in order to get the tea bag. This allows consumers a fun way to unbag the tea bag while taking a break from a hard day’s work.

Each flap is designed with the illustrative version of the half an orange and passion fruit, emphasizing on the flavour of the product itself.

The cup at the front panel is die cut, so as to allow consumers to have a look at whats inside.
