Sarawak on Borneo

Sarawak is in the Malaysian part of northwestern Borneo. Its landscapes extend from coastal areas to inland rivers, hills and highlands. To the south it borders the Indonesian part of the island, known as Kalimantan.

Biawak — Lundu District

Biawak is a village in the Lundu area of Sarawak, listed in the official village register. It is also written as Kampung Biawak or Kpg Biawak; “kampung” means village, and these names refer to the same place.

Lubok Antu — Sri Aman Division

Lubok Antu is in the administrative area of Sri Aman, near the border with West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Lubok Antu–Nanga Badau border crossing connects the two sides. It is a different area from Biawak; the store lists both in the collection information for this batch.

Agarwood trees in Sarawak

Botanical references for Malaysia record Aquilaria beccariana and Aquilaria microcarpa in Sarawak. Aquilaria trees grow in forest habitats ranging from lowland to moderate elevations, depending on the species and location.

These are regional records of trees in the state. They do not establish that this batch comes from either species, nor do they represent a botanical survey specifically of Biawak or Lubok Antu.

What is agarwood, and how does it form?

Agarwood is wood containing accumulated aromatic resin. Resin formation is associated with a tree’s responses to injury and to biotic and abiotic factors. The genera Aquilaria and Gyrinops are among the main sources of agarwood and belong to the family Thymelaeaceae. Not every piece of wood from a tree has the same resin content.

Botanical species and trade names

“Malaysian”, “Sarawak” and “Kalimantan” are geographical names; scientific names identify botanical species.

Where do agarwood trees grow?

The natural ranges of agarwood genera span parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia and southern China, including India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. Distribution varies by species; not every species grows in all of these countries.

Wild and cultivated trees, and product forms

Agarwood trees occur in forests and on plantations, where resin formation may be induced. Agarwood is traded as pieces, chips, powder and extracted oil. These terms describe the source or product form and do not replace the batch information or its actual assessment.

How to read an agarwood description

Check the stated origin, purchase weight, price per gram, and any documented information about the species or treatment. Do not assume aromatic characteristics or a commercial grade that the description does not state. Assess the incense experience by what you actually smell, allowing for differences in piece size and heating method.

You may try up to 2 g of agarwood. If you decide to return your purchase, submit a return request within seven days of receipt. The value of the amount actually used will be deducted at the purchase price shown on the invoice, subject to the conditions for returning the remaining quantity.
