Fir Luanta Taiwan, a large coniferous tree in the cypress family, was first discovered in the Luanta Mountain region, earning it the name “Luanta fir.” A variant of cedar and endemic to Taiwan, its straight trunk exudes a rich fragrance, hence the name “incense cedar.” It primarily grows in cypress forests at altitudes of 1,500 to 2,500 meters in central and northern Taiwan. Its sickle-shaped curved leaves, irregularly arranged in opposite pairs, are soft to the touch and not prickly. Its dense wood exhibits low shrinkage, high resistance to decay and termites, and a pleasant aroma, making it a premium coniferous material for construction.
 With its strong forest scent, Taiwan incense cedar contains Cedrol, a component known for its calming properties, which helps foster clarity and resilience in moments of unease. It also features δ-Cadinol, a delicate woody fragrance component found in Taiwania as well.
