MANUFACTURING INCENSE

The greatest care is taken to select the best raw ingredients to ensure a high quality product.
The incense is made from a paste of powdered dried flower petals, fragrant herbs and woods, spices, resins, mixed with charcoal (for combustion) and natural essential oils . The ingredients are mixed with water to form a paste. The dough is then hand rolled around a bamboo stick and left to dry.
