From Pristine Mountains to Your Cup: Sourced with Love
Agarwood: Where it all Began
In the heart of the lush rainforests of Maoming, China, where misty mountains embrace ancient secrets, there lies a treasure – the agarwood tree, revered for centuries for its mystique. Generations have passed down tales of agarwood's enchanting aroma and medicinal properties, whispered among herbalists and cherished by those who seek the divine in nature's bounty. Agarwood was described as a fragrant product of wealth and luxury in one of the world's oldest written texts, the Sanskrit Vedas, dating back as early as 1400 BC. The aroma produced from agarwood has been highly valued by many cultures and religions throughout history. In the Nirvana Sutra, it is mentioned as a heavenly wood used in the cremation of Buddha. In the New Testament, Jesus' body was anointed with a mixture of myrrh and aloes, which includes agarwood. In the Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, the description of paradise by Allah's messenger includes the burning of agarwood as incense.
Inspired by this rich heritage, we embarked on a quest to unlock agarwood's hidden potential. Guided by the wisdom of generations past and driven by an unwavering commitment to quality, we traversed the dense forests, forging connections with local communities and learning age-old traditions. Through painstaking research and relentless dedication, we discovered the art of crafting agarwood tea – a brew that transcends time and space, offering a taste of history and a glimpse into the soul of the rainforest.

Why Whole Leaf Tea is Superior
At Blossom Wisdom, we prioritize the use of single origin whole leaf tea over teabags, recognizing a crucial difference in flavor and quality. Teabags typically contain small particles known as "fannings" or tea dust, whereas whole leaf tea retains a larger portion of the tea leaf. This distinction is vital because tea leaves contain essential flavor compounds like tannins and essential oils, which contribute to the tea's taste and aroma. By preserving the leaves in their natural form, without cutting or breaking them into tiny specs, we ensure that these flavor compounds remain intact. This results in a tea that is richer in flavor and aroma when brewed, providing a more satisfying and enjoyable experience for tea lovers.
