Tibetan Red Sandalwood

Tibetan Red-Sandalwood Incense

This is a great blend of red sandalwood incense from Nepal. Natural herbs and spices are pressed together in a masala preparation and shaped into the Tibetan style sticks. They are carefully packed in a sturdy tube that closes at one end with a twist of handmade paper. A small wooden incense burner is included. These natural incense sticks burn well, with the pleasing aroma of red sandalwood.

~ approximately 30 sticks, 5" long, and a small wooden burner

~ all natural with no wooden sticks, glues, or dyes

~ neatly bundled in a tube wrapped with recycled and Lotka paper handmade in Nepal

Lotka refers to a small woody plant of the Laurel family that grows at over 6000 feet in the Himalayas. It has been traditionally used for centuries, by the people of Nepal to make paper. Lotka paper is a renewable resource, and provides a source of income to paper crafting families and village communities.
