The Subtle Breath of Scent: An Incense Ceremony, December 21st

Dates

Quantity

Having journeyed from tea to time, we now enter the realm of subtlety, the most elusive, the most intimate. Through taste, we learned patience; through aroma, we now learn stillness.

 

In this incense ceremony, we will train the faculty of scent: listening with the nose, feeling with the breath. We will enter the ancient incense game, discerning delicate fragrances from the deep resonance of agarwood to the cooling clarity of sandalwood.

 

From soft powder to glowing ember, from matter to spirit, this is a journey upon the subtle plane, travelling with smoke as our vehicle.

 

This session welcomes all participants, with or without prior knowledge of tea or incense.

 

This session can be purchased together with one dedicated to Aged Pu’er: The Taste of Time, which takes place on December 20th. A 15% discount applies when booking both sessions.
