Brief introduction of agarwood

Aquilaria sinensis, the first traditional spice in China, is rare and mysterious, and little is known to the outside world.

Aquilaria sinensis is a tree species of Aquilaria in Daphne family.

After being struck by lightning, broken by strong wind, bitten by animals and insects, and cut down artificially, trees will secrete resin to repair wounds in the form of antibodies.

In the meantime, the wound site was just infected by a microorganism called yellow-green fungus, which produced a series of changes and formed balsam.

This solid condensate mixed with balsam and wood fiber is the real agarwood.

Aquilaria sinensis is generally suitable for growing in virgin forests in tropical and subtropical regions, and needs slightly acidic soil with high humidity and sufficient water.

It takes at least five years for agarwood to smell fragrant.

A piece of high-quality agarwood takes at least hundreds or even thousands of years to form.

Aquilaria sinensis is not wood, but the continuation of its life and the crystallization of its blood and tears.

Aquilaria sinensis is born and dies, which is the essence of trees.

Different growth processes of agarwood give birth to different scents.

There are lofty, heavy, astringent, and different temperament that everyone has.

Behind each agarwood, there is an unknown history of life vicissitudes, trying to construct its own unique appearance in difficulties.

Although it is hard, I will still choose that fiery life.
