Dragon's Blood Resin Yunnan – RARE!
Dragon's Blood Resin-Yunnan-Dracaena cochinchinensis.
This is a wonderfully sweet and intoxicating Dragon's Blood resin! It is the only Dragon's Blood resin with an aroma before it is burned.
$16.00 - $364.00
I walked into our packaging room this morning and was captivated by the beautiful, sweet aroma that filled it.
It opens with rich crimson sweet berry notes on the low-temperature electric burner. Deep, soft and penetrating. As the temperature is raised, the sweet notes yield to this Mars-ruled resin's traditional bite and intensity, similar to its cousin Dracaena cinnabari in Socotra, Yemen.

The colour of this Dragon's Blood resin is INTENSE!! I can't wait to make an ink from it.
I have to point out that unlike its Yemenite cousin, medieval Dragon's Blood, which is a species at risk, Yunnan Dragon's Blood resin is sustainably harvested.
The Chinese have developed methods of harvesting the resin from the tree's leaves instead of the bark and wood. The qualities of the leaf resin are identical to those collected from tapping the tree, and the tree is harmed in no way since the leaves are shed from the tree as its branches grow.
If this system could be replicated on the island of Socotra, we could preserve the Socotran Dragon's blood trees and create a sustainable source for their resin.
Yunnan Dragon's Blood resin dissolves especially well in alcohol.
It creates an exceptional dark red ink with a beautiful fragrance. Add some Virgin Dragon's Blood to your tincture to create a brighter red colour.
If you are preparing a Dragon's Blood oil, the best material to use is the Virgin Dragons Blood resin, which you will also find in the shop.

This resin is truely what I (amateurish as I am) expect from Dragon's Blood. Sweeter, warmer, resinous-balsamic with faint fruity or honeyed undertones. Barely any harshness, not at all as hard on the lungs than Daemonorops Draco (and I have yet to experience Dracaena cinnabari (Socotra))... Well worth the money. Thank you once again, Dan!

I am new to dragons blood and didn’t know quite what to expect. If any of you are like me and didn’t appreciate it burned on ashed over charcoal, I strongly suggest trying it in a little aluminum pan to gently heat it. I am in love. The fragrance is truly exceptional. Something I plan to purchase more of.

I first heard of Yunnan Dragons Blood through this store.
Indeed, there is a slight scent from the resin!
I burned it and it added to my new fragrance palette.
The scent is again similar but different to the Dragon's Blood from Socotra Island!
