Many friends like the fragrance of thread, which begins with taste, falls into quality and enjoys the situation.
Fragrance is also intoxicating. It is quiet at night. The indoor desk lights are warm and light an aloes incense. Bright moon, clear springs, mountains and rocks, and clear streams can appear in your mind. Outside the house, the rolling red dust disturbs one another, as if the clear spring on the stone flowed silently, the mood is clear, as if the cold moon in the sky.
A pot of tea, a book, a person, burning an incense. Only at this moment, the inner landscape is beautiful and quiet.
Many people know the benefits of aloes, but also can experience the life style brought by aloes. However, there are many varieties of aloes in the market, and their prices range from more than a dozen yuan to several thousand yuan. Few people know what the difference is between them. Today, Xiangzhizun talks with friends about the fragrance of aloes.
There will be a gap between different prices in the producing areas of Alpinia officinalis L.
There are three types of alimentary fragrance on the market, the first is national fragrance: mainly from Hainan and Guangdong; the second is Huian system: mainly from Vietnam (Yazhuang, laterite), Cambodia and other alimentary fragrances; the third is Galaxy system: mainly from Calimantan, Illian and other places of origin.
Under the same quality and the same quality, Hainan fragrant wild fragrance has the highest price, followed by Hui'an system and Xingzhou system. The production area of Alpinia officinalis L. decides one of the price gaps of Alpinia officinalis L.
See here may be friends will ask: Why mention Guoxiang, Huian, Xingzhou line incense, did not mention Qinan line incense? Because everyone knows that pure Chinan can not be made into thread fragrance, the first is that the cost is too high, the price of Chinan powder is 3000-4000 yuan per gram; the second is that the best taste temperature of Chinan is 70-80 degrees Celsius, which is not suitable for the high temperature of open fire, so either smelling, or fumigating on the fumigation stove, Chinan powder sinks 60 degrees, Chinan does not sink 80 degrees of water is the best. So I don't know how Qinan in some markets is made into thread fragrance, and how there is Qinan flavor? Is it a gimmick to sell high prices? Or do other aloes pretend to be Chinanxiang? This is unknown.
Moreover, some so-called Qinan line fragrance, there are also fraudulent acts on the market. Some fragrances made by illegal merchants use some aloes and sandalwood powder, but they are mixed with many adjuvants. Then they claim that they are made with Chinan powder, which is very expensive.
The price of the adhesives will vary with the proportion of thread fragrance.
When it comes to adhesives, many people are very cautious.
In the process of fragrance-making, the aloes must have adhesive to form. Different adhesives and proportions are used, and the price gap is very large. Traditional line fragrance uses elm bark as natural adhesive, while high quality line fragrance uses imported Indonesian Nanmu powder. The more the adhesive, the cheaper the price, and the more the flavor of the line cigarettes. Generally speaking, the high-quality linen fragrance is made of Nanmu bark, the natural plant with the smallest odor. The proportion is usually about 10%-15%. Moreover, under the same production area, the lower the proportion of adhesives mixed, the easier the linen fragrance is broken, the better the liner fragrance quality is, and the greater the price difference is.
Here we should note that some low-cost line fragrance, often using chemical adhesives, smoke has a sharp taste, line fragrance burning also rolled, but not easy to break, such line fragrance smell harmful to health, the words of the lungs, fragrant people had better avoid.
The difference between manual aloes and machine price is also different.
What's the difference between manual thread fragrance and mechanical thread fragrance? The manual line fragrance on the market is much more expensive than the mechanism line fragrance, which is one of the most frequently asked questions by many friends who buy line fragrance.
Generally, the high oil content of aloes is selected by manual thread fragrance recycling, which is made by hand grinding and grinding powder, then rubbing, so as to reduce the consumption of grease and ensure the purity of the fragrance as far as possible. The machine line incense in the high-speed operation of the machine will lose part of the grease due to high temperature, resulting in more wood part of the finished line incense, fine smelling, there will be a little pyrotechnic odor. Therefore, with the same raw materials in the same region, the quality of hand-made fragrance is higher, and the price is more expensive.
On the market, there is no production capacity for hand-made aloes, which is often in short supply. Generally, when they are made, they are taken away, and there is almost no time for storage and alcoholization of aloes. We all know that the longer the aloes are alcoholized, the more mellow the flavor will be, which is a small defect of manual fragrance.
But this does not mean that the machine worker incense is not good, because the machine worker incense saves a lot of labor costs, although the taste purity may be slightly inferior, but cost-effective; manual incense is more suitable for professional flavor.
How to distinguish manual thread fragrance from mechanic fragrance? A thread fragrance, manual fragrance is generally rough and not straight, machine fragrance delicate incision smooth, in fact, this is the difference between manual fragrance and machine fragrance.
Alcoholization Storage Time Determines Line Fragrance Price
Generally speaking, the older the fragrance is, the softer the fragrance is and the higher the price is.
The longer the aroma is stored, the more mellow it tastes, just like old wine. The new aroma has a high moisture content in the adhesives, and when ignited, it will have a distinct pyrotechnic taste and wood burning taste of the adhesives themselves. And through storage, the adhesive will continue to alcoholize, every more year the grade of line fragrance will be improved by a grade (whether mechanic or manual), the fragrance will become more and more comfortable.
And the price of the new line fragrance will be much lower than that of the line fragrance which has been alcoholized for many years, so people who like line fragrance often collect and buy a large number of them at one time, and then store them in a ventilated, breathable and odorless environment to make them naturally alcoholized.
In addition, the burning time also reflects the quality of aloes. Good natural fragrance burns slowly, usually for 20-40 minutes, and its fragrance is charming; poor quality fragrance burns fast because of the addition of fossil powder, gunpowder and other combustion-supporting materials.
Some friends will also ask, is the coiled line fragrance the good line fragrance? Finally, answer this question again: this statement is not accurate, for example, the fragrance of Hui'an system is relatively easy to roll, the oil content of aloe powder is high and generally easy to roll; while the fragrance of galaxies and Hainan is rare. In the process of producing aloes, the extrusion force of the machine will also make the final shape of the linear fragrance density different, therefore, it will also have an impact on the combustion form. In addition, the humidity and temperature in the air will also have a certain impact on whether to roll.
Summary:
If you like aloes, if you want to start with aloes, then I suggest that friends above these problems must be cleared up.
Fragrance tasting is a kind of knowledge of heart-training. There is always a process from strangeness to familiarity with the truth and quality of fragrance. Perhaps at the beginning, our understanding of fragrances is not very deep, but over time, we will explore some experience by ourselves.
In fact, as long as we accumulate, understand clearly enough, not blindly obey, not biased, we can actually establish a very comfortable life relationship with aloes.
As for which line fragrance to choose after judging the truth and quality, as long as according to their preferences, they feel that they are more in line with which flavor, more pleasant, it is enough.
