Ice Beauty Incense
Incense & Tea
Incense and tea have a long shared history, as tea drinkers throughout the ages have found the calming scent and natural beauty of the smoke to fit right in alongside their tea sessions.
Buddhist and Daoist monks – many of them tea drinkers – have also found that the scent of incense helps maintain mindfulness by alerting oneself to the scent of their surroundings, and putting the mind in a state of calming focus.
Whether paired with tea or simply lit to infuse a room with scent, this incense sampler is a perfect starting point for people interested in quality Chinese incense made with all-natural ingredients and no chemical additives.
What’s in the box?
Ice Beauty Incense
Proprietary blend of agarwood, sandalwood, camphor, wild ginger
Each Ice Beauty incense pack contains 5g (about 26 sticks) of incense, inside a slide-off box which contains an incense holder.
Each incense pack also contains a small metal pick, to clean any unburned nubs of incense of the incense holder.
Each stick is weighed so as to burn for 20 minutes, meaning each pack provides hours of burn time.
What’s it smell like?
It turns out it’s hard to explain what something smells like.
Our incense blender, Zhang Laoshi, recommended that we simply share the feeling in our bodies after smelling the incense. So, taking his advice, Jesse, alongside Marissa (Jesse’s assistant) and Angel and Claudene (our daughter-and-mother customer service team) shared their feels below:
Jesse: Open mind, light thoughts, sweet nectar. Like dipping my head in a shallow bowl and getting a peek into a childhood I didn’t live
Marissa: A spa somewhere outside
Angel: Crisp, very sweet but not cloyingly so, like magical spring water. Large presence (could smell it in other rooms) and lingered after it burnt out.
Claudene: Crisp, yet deep. Like a walk after a rain storm.
Jesse Says:
When I lived in China, I saw – and smelled -- incense all around, whether it’s lingering in the halls of temples, or displayed on altars in peoples’ homes.
Incense is a tricky product though. It comes in many scents and at various prices, from giant boxes for a dollar to hundreds of dollars per gram. How would I know what I’m getting, and what’s really in it?
Luckily, through my tea connections, I was able to get in touch with a 70-year old incense company whose master blenders patiently taught me the core principles of incense – quality ingredients, no chemical scents, and using only natural plant-based binders to allow the various scented powders to be pressed into sticks.
This sampler is the one I would want to buy myself but could never find on the market, even in China.
It combines some of my personal favorite classic scents (sandalwood) alongside my favorite higher-end Chinese coveted scents (agarwood, also known as “oud”).
It also has a few familiar scents (like rose) and some of the proprietary blends put together by our incense guys (like “Etheria”).
I’m a tea guy, not an incense guy, but as a tea guy who’s smelled his share of incense, I approached putting this sampler together the same way I approach my tea samplers: variety, quality, and as much value as I can get while maintaining those first two.
Come Back For Your Favorites!
Checkout all 8 of our new scents (available as individual packs) or try the Sampler Pack to see what you like!
The package is perfectly sized to sit alongside a tea table or packed in a bag so you can have a sensory break in any environment.
Jesse Says: I keep an eight incense sampler in my travel backpack, so while on the road I can light incense as an evening ritual and feel a little bit more grounded while traveling.
