Cultivated Vietnamese Ant Nest Agarwood

Agarwood, our cherished fragrance worldwide, is highly esteemed in perfumery for crafting luxurious exotic scents, nothing on the planet can replicate it’s incredible and unique scents. Vietnamese cultivated Agarwood is usually one of the first for a beginner to sniff due to its abundance on the market, keen price point and its welcoming, sweet aroma. True Vietnamese Agarwood stands out for its honey and floral notes,  While cultivated Agarwood from Aquilaria trees offers a sustainable source, wild Agarwood, especially in Vietnam, is becoming scarce and commands premium prices for its unparalleled aroma.

Enter the middle path – Organic Agarwood, a nuanced approach between wild and cultivated. In this method, farmers cultivate Aquilaria trees, gently coaxing them into Agarwood oil production without forceful methods. Despite the long and meticulous process, the results surpass those of conventional cultivation.

One unique variant is Ants Nest Agarwood...

 

The following is a story I read in the Internet, I can’t vouch for its authenticity but it’s an intriguing read so I thought I’d share with you all here!

In the 80s, a visionary in Vietnam opted for a novel approach, sparing himself from the laborious organic processing. Instead, he enlisted little critters to handle the task. Ants, provided with a secret concoction, set up residence in the trees, prompting Agarwood production as a natural defense mechanism when the tree is attacked. It's a captivating symbiotic ecosystem, albeit until the ants' nests are disrupted for resin extraction.

The resulting Agarwood structures, harvested after the ants' departure, can be remarkably impressive. I'm contemplating turning one into a conversation piece in my lounge. We offer organic grade A, AA, and AAA. Opting for grade A is a wise choice; its fantastic aroma and abundant oil make it a compelling option. Remarkably, organic ants nest Agarwood comes at a reasonable price compared to the exorbitant cost of true wild Vietnamese ants nest Agarwood, which can be 30 times higher.

Please feel free to explore our Agarwood listings. To truly appreciate this wood, consider using a mica plate atop a white, cold, or ideally, a Subitism heater. I highly recommend incorporating ants nest Agarwood as a special treat during your tea sessions. Thanks for visiting!
