Vietnamese Agarwood

The ingredients for our incense sticks come from various regions across Asia. They are always pure, natural incense woods or resins. The natural origin is important for the aroma and for a healthy effect on the body and mind, similar to tea from old or wild trees. Our incense comes from producers in Malaysia.

Agarwood (or Chen Xiang, Eaglewood, Aquila wood or Oud) is the most precious and supposedly the oldest of all aroma essences, used for incense, perfumes or in traditional Chinese medicine. It is harvested from the agarwood (Aquilaria) tree after it's been infected by a few specific kinds of mould and has secreted the aromatic resin around the damaged area. It eases, refreshes and creates a calm and meditative mood. According to Chinese medicine, it regulates the flow of the Qi energy. It doesn't interrupt tea tasting; on the contrary, it pairs nicely with the tea, both in taste and effect. In Asia, it is often used at tea ceremonies and gatherings or to promote sales in tea shops.
