Anyone who has played with agarwood for a while has heard about insect leaks. Not only does insect leaks taste good, but they also have a unique appearance. They are one of the raw materials for making high-grade agarwood incense sticks.

 

The wonderful thing about the taste of Chongliu Agarwood is that it has rich taste and high sweetness. Usually the aroma is restrained and calm, elegant and sweet, and full of layered changes.

 

If you have tasted our Kyara No. 1 or Kyara Emperor, you can experience the obvious sweet aroma that hits your nostrils. The insect leakage has made a great contribution and cannot be denied.

 

The formation of insect leaks is different from other ways of creating incense. It is caused by wood-eating animals in the original forest. These wood-eating animals not only refer to insects and ants, but also beetles, various insects, etc. Because wood-eating animals like to eat the wood and make holes in the delicious agarwood.

 

After insects and ants eat the wood and make burrows in the agarwood tree, they will often bring food back from the outside. They will also secrete formic acid, body fluids, etc. These substances will gradually be absorbed by the tree, affecting the smell of agarwood. The formation is caused by animals chewing the agarwood tree, damaging the tree body and causing injury and infection. Then it activates its self-protection mechanism and begins to secrete resin. The resin interacts with air moisture for a long time, thus forming agarwood. Insect leaks do not distinguish between tree species, and there are a large number of insect leaks in agarwood trees everywhere.
