From chips to sticks

How our incense sticks are made

Selecting & preparing agarwood
Agarwood chips are selected and split into smaller pieces so dirt, impurities and wood without resin can be removed. Material left after oil processing is not used for these sticks.
Grinding
The prepared chips are crushed into coarse material, then ground into a fine powder for even blending and consistent stick formation.
Mixing
Agarwood powder is combined with a natural binder. Clean water is added gradually, and the mixture is kneaded by hand into a soft dough. The process avoids chemical adhesives and artificial fragrance.
Shaping
The dough is placed into a metal extruder and pressed into long, thin, coreless incense sticks.
Drying
The formed sticks are laid flat in a shaded, well-ventilated place to dry gradually. Direct sun drying is avoided; the time needed varies with humidity.
Finishing
The dried sticks are trimmed to a consistent length and visually checked for a smooth surface, straight form and absence of cracks. They are then placed into tubes for storage.
