Shoyeido Patchouli Incense Sticks

Part of Shoyeido's Overtones Collection. 

Long-beloved for its captivating smell, patchouli has been used as incense, oil, tea, medicine and perfume. We are thrilled to present this stunning iteration of patchouli, crafted in the illustrious Shoyeido style.

We absolutely love and highly recommend Shoyeido incense. No stick or glues, and this incense is subtle with beautifully blended aromas. It is definitely recommended for anyone wanting to work with incense but are sensitive to smells. It does not seem to cause the headaches nor throat/lung irritations of some other brands. 

• 1 bundle of 35 sticks, 8.75"
• Patchouli leaves, sandalwood, and spices
• Approx. burning time: 50 min. per stick
  

About Shoyeido: For over 300 years, Shoyeido incense has been blended in Kyoto, Japan by their highly trained artisans employing centuries-old recipes and techniques. Specific ingredients are finely ground and mixed with pure water and a natural binding material called "tabuko" (machilus thunbergii). Because they use only natural components, the quality and ratio of each raw ingredient is critical to the final outcome. Moisture, drying time, and production methods are all major aspects of their blending process. Lacking the bamboo core seen in so-called "dipped" incense products, their mixtures are extruded, carefully shaped and then slowly dried. Shoyeido's manufacturing process is renowned for its quality and high standards.
