Agarwood, chenxiang, eagle wood, aquila wood or oud (in perfume making)

The most precious and probably the oldest fragrant essence, it is used for the manufacturing of incense sticks, perfumes and in traditional Chinese medicine. It is produced by Aquilaria malaccensis, a tropical tree that produces aromatic resin when wounded or attacked by pests or mould. Agarwood used in our incense sticks is wild – it grows in woods, it is not planted and artificially processed. Generally, it calms down, refreshes and induces meditative atmosphere. According to traditional Chinese medicine it regulates the flow of qi. It does not disturb tea drinking – quite the opposite, it is a great complement, both its aroma and effect. In Asia, it is frequently used during tea ceremonies, gatherings and in tea shops.

Trees infected by the Phaeoacremonium parasitica mould are sought as the source of the precious fragrant wood, sometimes they are infected by the mycelium of this fungus. The tree responds to the mycelium growing through its wood by emitting aromatic resin. The attacked wood is dark and heavy, while healthy parts are light and have lower density.
