Natural wood incense from the Southwest
and Native American Tradition and Cone Incense Burners with a Southwestern
Motive.
Our Fragrance Assortment
Pinion
Piņon
is an evergreen tree that grows along the foot hills of
Californian's desert mountains, east to Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas, and north to Wyoming. This tree produces a cone that
bears edible seeds harvested in the late fall. When burned, the
smoke is a soft smell of the Piņon
that fills the air in towns and villages throughout New
Mexico.
Juniper
Junipers
grow throughout the United States. The wood is quite fragrant
and is used for fence posts and long straight poles. Our Rocky
Mountain Juniper is
the source of many beautiful sub-species, varying in height from
6 inches to 40 feet. Some people use the berries for medicinalpurposes.
Mesquite
Mesquite
grows in the desert southwest and Mexico at elevations of 2000
to 6000 feet. This slow growing tree is very hard and has an
equally distinctive odor. Root wood is used for fuel, especially
cooking, and is good for barbecuing and smoking meats. Native
Americans use pods (seeds) for food and later as feed for
livestock. We think that our incense is a unique blend of this
complex fragrance.
Cedar
Cedar
grows in the mountains in the USA and most other countries. The
wood is versatile in its uses. From aromatic chests to wooden
furniture, Cedar
isa
well known and loved essence.
Alder
Alder
mostly grows on the Pacific coast and is used for cooking,
smoking seafood, furniture, and cabinet making. This deciduous
moisture loving tree, produces flowers which develop into small
woody cones that decorate the tree in winter. Flower arrangers
use these blossoms often. We like the mild smell of this incense
that complimentsand reflects theNorthwest United States.
Fir Balsam
Evergreen
trees in nature, firs are tall, symmetrical trees with uniformly
spaced branch whorls. Large cones are held erect. Most native
firs are high mountain plants which grow best in or near their
natural environment. The Fir Balsam incense is a strong
refreshing smell of the high country.
Hickory
Hickory
is our only incense that doesn't come from the western part of
the USA. This tree grows mostly in the southeast. It is a tall
tree that has a shaggy bark when mature. The wood is hard and
the smoke is used for cooking much like mesquite and alder.
