Nha Trang Agarwood
From the mountains of Khanh Hòa province, home to Nha Trang, this agarwood carries the grounded signature of its origin: forests, soil, and time. Locals call it trầm hương, a material born when an evergreen tree is wounded and, in response, slowly seals itself with fragrant resin, nature’s own alchemy of pressure and patience.
On the ember, Nha Trang Agarwood is a blend of amber and earth, like damp loam after rain, sun-warmed bark, and the faint sweetness of resin sinking into wood. Notes rise in layers rather than in one volume, leaving a lingering finish prized by many.
Each incense is accompanied by our loose leaf tea, learn more below.
This section should introduce the topic in a compelling way that captures attention and motivates to keep reading.
Grown on the slopes of Cheyun Mountain, the most prestigious growing region in the famed tea-producing highlands of China's Henan province, our single-estate Xinyang Maojian reflects its rugged landscape.
Henan is the northernmost of China's great tea regions, and Cheyun is the northernmost within the province. Here, cold temperatures and a nearly perpetual fog slow the growth of tea shrubs significantly, concentrating nutrients and aromatic compounds in the leaves. With no irrigation on the steep slopes, the tea shrubs live on rain and condensation. The sandy loam soil found on the mountainside plot is especially rich in minerals, which are beautifully expressed in the brewed tea.
Come spring, every single bud and leaf is hand-picked, a laborious task made only more so by the terrain. Then, they are finished in the traditional way: pan-fired and gently charcoal-roasted by hand in small batches to imbue a signature toasty aroma while locking in the leaf's natural floral sweetness.
The nose is sweet porridge, the body is rich chestnut, and, with varying intensity depending on the capricious swings of each particular season's weather, the tea closes with a tantalizing, lingering wildflower finish.
