For your information
The Set Includes
- 14 individually sealed loose leaf pouches, 4g/0.14oz each
- 14 incense sticks, burn time ~40 minutes per stick

- An upcycled linen mat for catching ash, each featuring a unique print of native plants made using the traditional technique

The Ritual
Begin by clearing a quiet space. Light one incense stick and allow the fragrance to settle into the room.
Brew a sachet of Xinyang Maojian and take a moment to observe the leaves, aroma, and changing character of each infusion.
Tea and incense may be enjoyed separately, but together they create a simple transition—a moment between movement and stillness, the outside world and the self.
HOW TO BREW
HOT BREW
- One 4 g sachet
- 120 mL filtered water
- 180°F / 80°C
- Steep for 30–60 seconds
- Re-steep 5–6 times
COLD BREW
- One 4 g sachet
- 350–400 mL filtered water

HOW TO BURN
Lay the linen ash mat flat on a stable surface. Place the ceramic incense holder on top of the mat. Remove one incense stick from the box and place it securely in the holder.
Light the tip of the incense and allow it to flame briefly. Gently blow out the flame and allow the incense to smolder.
Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials. Allow the holder and ash to cool completely before handling.
Care & Storage
Store the tea sachets in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, sunlight, and strong odors. Keep each sachet sealed until brewing to preserve freshness.
Store the incense in its original packaging in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity or direct sunlight.
The ceramic incense holder and linen ash mat are designed to be reused. Allow both pieces to cool completely after each use and gently remove any remaining ash. Hand-wash only with mild detergent. Air-dry the linen mat flat and allow both pieces to dry completely before storing or using them again.

About our incense
Nha Trang Agarwood
On the ember, Nha Trang Agarwood is a blend of ripe fruit 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.
