Will the roots of Laoshan Tan smell better?

Not necessarily. It's not delicious just picked and not aged. The best part of Dalbergia Laoshan is not the root, but the diester is the meat below the second layer of epidermis near the core material. The core material can sink, which is the so-called submerged material on the market now, but the taste is not as good as that of Erpang.
