Agarwood pulp is sometimes an inevitable thing, some people are happy to see the pulp attitude, some people have a "fear of avoiding" attitude. What is the difference between the agarwood before and after the pulp, why do some people like it, and some people try to get rid of the pulp?
Regarding how the pulp is formed, we can talk about it from two aspects, on the one hand, agarwood is exposed to the air for a long time to oxidize to form an oxide layer, on the other hand, it is worn or played for a long time, and in this process, it is subject to the joint action of physical conditions such as humidity and temperature, so as to form a layer of pulp on the surface of agarwood.
Before the pulp, the taste of agarwood is more intense, the appearance displayed is also the feeling of clean and clear, in short, if the agarwood after the pulp gives people a sense of thickness, then the agarwood before the pulp gives people more of a small and fresh feeling. Of course, the point is that the fragrance emitted by the agarwood before the pulp is where the incense friends pour more.
After the pulp is wrapped, the taste of agarwood fades or even disappears, but this does not mean that the agarwood odor channel completely disappears, but only temporarily blocked by the agarwood surface pulp to block the pores of volatile oil and emit flavor. But for incense lovers who have certain requirements for the agarwood flavor, this is a serious blow. However, after the slurry, the taste will become more perfect, become more rounded, more lustrous, and the color will become a little darker. It will look better to wear, heavy, elegant, and quaint, and these feelings are more obvious after the agarwood pulp. How to say it, anyway, the agarwood after the pulp satisfies many incense friends who have high requirements for the appearance of agarwood, but the agarwood flavor is hindered, making many incense friends who are obsessed with the agarwood flavor dish dissatisfied.
For incense friends who do not like to wrap pulp, then trying to get rid of the pulp is also an urgent need. If you want to get rid of the pulp can be carried out from these aspects, one is to dry the towel that has been soaked in hot water, and then use it to wrap the agarwood, wait for the appropriate time, wipe the surface of the pulp with fine toilet paper, and finally seal the agarwood for a period of time; or scrub it with cold water with bare hands, but this is only suitable for agarwood with a small degree of pulp; or for those agarwood that is more seriously wrapped, gently polish it with sandpaper, but it is best to use 3000 kinds of sandpaper, so that it will not hurt the agarwood. In short, in the process of removing the pulp, the action on the hand should be gentle and slow, which can not only effectively remove the pulp, but also make the agarwood under the pulp unharmed.
High throwing and pulping are two concepts, although both of which can make agarwood look round and shiny, but the essence of the two is very different. High throwing is to polish the agarwood under high temperature conditions, the general high throwing object is those low quality difference of artificial agarwood, in order to obtain higher benefits, the merchant only carried out high throwing. The object of the pulp is those natural wild agarwood, which is formed by the accumulated love of agarwood by the incense friends.
There will be a big difference before and after the agarwood pulp, mainly reflected in the taste and appearance of these two aspects, but in any case we should not define the pulp as a bad thing, this mainly depends on personal preferences, if you care about the appearance of agarwood, the pulp has become a big help, but if you care more about the taste, then the pulp has become a resistance. In short, the pulp is not removed, depending on whether the individual likes it or not.
