What are Thai agarwood buds and where does it originate?
Like other types of agarwood, Thai agarwood buds are made from the flowers of a tree belonging to the agarwood family, Aquilaria crassna according to scientific nomenclature. This type of agarwood has a very characteristic scent and is used quite commonly in art and religious rituals.
Artisans craft Thai agarwood incense buds from agarwood powder with glue and shape them into the shape of unopened lotus buds. However, the unique point of this type of agarwood bud is that there are many colors, along with each color there is a different floral scent such as cherry blossoms, lavender, orchids, lemongrass, and wood…
Origin of Thai agarwood buds
Thai agarwood buds are imported directly from the Golden Temple country, which is highly appreciated for its consumer health care products. However, this type of agarwood tree is actually very difficult to find in Asia, especially in Thailand. They can only be found in old forests in Thailand and in very small quantities.
Therefore, Thai agarwood products are mainly derived from cultivated agarwood and engineered agarwood. With a small output and a lot of finished products sold, Thai agarwood incense buds have not actually been tested for health safety.
