Manzhaya Sampler: Tibetan Incense Art
Incense
This set is a full collection of the Manzhaya's Tibetan incense.
Nobody makes incense like Manzhaya.
Their project was born out of living Buddha Danzing Qunpei’s lifetime of research into Tibetan Medicine Sutras, reviving ancient incense recipes formulated from wild herbs that can be foraged within the Meili Glacier National Park.
This set includes a full canister of Manzhaya's Special Grade incense, a full canister of their wild foraged Reserve incense, and a package of classic temple incense, along with five of their hand-made incense cones.
The Special Grade, Reserve and Temple Incense are all balanced at different levels and proportions for their own unique qualities. All three are deep and evocative, like exploring an endless cedar grove.
Manzhaya incense is made without chemical additives - a truly ancient old-school craft. This kit is the chance to try the full scope of Danzing Qunpei’s work and experience the very best of Tibet’s unique incense culture.
