Nagomi Kobo — Green Tea

You are going to make tea anyway. This is the room while you do it.

Green tea as a scent is not the drink. It is drier and greener — the smell of the leaf before water reaches it, and of the tin when you open it.

It sits under a bowl of matcha without competing with it, which is more than most incense manages.

Made by a Kyoto house that has been making incense and ritual goods since 1830.

You will need something to stand it in. The ash falls straight down.

What is included

About 60 sticks (20 g). Each stick is 14 cm and burns for roughly 30 minutes.

How to burn it

Light the tip, let the flame catch, then blow it out. It should glow, not burn.

Stand it upright in a holder with ash or sand.

Never leave it burning unattended, and keep it clear of anything that will catch.

Care

Keep the box closed and out of direct sun. The scent holds for years that way.
