Aloeswood Incense
The trick is to find an incense that compliments the experience and does not overpower, cloy or cling to utensils. When I was in Taiwan over the last few weeks, I became a fan of aloeswood incense (also called agarwood). This wood develops a resin in response to a mold infestation. The resulting aroma is subtle and complex. Aloeswood is a limited (and protected) resource, and so it's pricey. I was very happy to bring home this box as a gift for the DH.

Love it but only have 2 g of this wood chip kept aside for special occasions!
Smell a little bit of this lifts my spirits!
I'm not familiar with that particular type of incense. It sounds lovely. I enjoy burning incense, too. Love your photo!
I had not heard of this incense, but based on your description I would be very interested in giving this one a whiff!
What a special gift you brought home. I hadn't thought about the art of pairing tea with incense, but it makes sense and sounds like an interesting concept to perfect.
I SO remember the incense craze of my youth! ;)

No I have not heard of this incense. It does sound like it would be a delightful addition to tea. What a perfect gift for your DH.
