Puyun "Fenggu" Taihang Mountains Weathered Thuja Sutchuenensis Incense Sticks - 50g Private Collection

Elevate your sensory experience and bring the tranquil spirit of the high peaks into your home with the Puyun "Fenggu" Incense Sticks. As a standout selection from Lao Zhang’s Private Collection, these sticks are crafted from the rare, weathered Thuja Sutchuenensis (Cliff Cypress) found clinging to the rugged cliffs of the Taihang Mountains. This is more than just a fragrance; it is a tribute to the resilience of nature, capturing the essence of wood that has endured decades of wind, sun, and frost to develop its unique aromatic character.

Key Benefits

Authentic Taihang Origin:** Sourced exclusively from the high-altitude cliffs of the Taihang range, a region renowned for producing Thuja wood with the highest resin content and most complex scent profiles.

Naturally Weathered Material:** We utilize "Fenghua Liao" (weathered material), wood that has aged naturally in the wild. This process concentrates the essential oils and removes the "harshness" of fresh wood, resulting in a mellow, deeply layered aroma.

The Spirit of "Fenggu":** Named for the Chinese concept of "strength of character," this incense provides a grounding, woody scent with subtle sweet undertones that inspire mental clarity and inner fortitude.

Artisan Private Collection:** This series represents a limited curation of raw materials. Each stick is produced with a focus on purity, ensuring that the natural fragrance of the Thuja remains the protagonist without the interference of synthetic perfumes.

Atmospheric Purification:** Perfect for creating a serene environment for meditation, yoga, or traditional tea ceremonies. The steady burn helps to calm the mind and refresh the air in any living space.

How to Use

To fully appreciate the nuanced layers of this weathered wood, place a single incense stick into a dedicated holder or a bowl filled with incense ash. Light the tip of the stick and allow the flame to burn for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. Gently fan out the flame—do not blow it out forcefully—until a glowing ember remains. Place the burner in a well-ventilated area but away from direct drafts. For the most sophisticated olfactory experience, allow the fragrance to diffuse through the room rather than inhaling the smoke directly.

Care & Safety

Storage:** Keep the sticks in a cool, dry place. Thuja is sensitive to moisture; keeping it in an airtight container will preserve the integrity of the natural resins and ensure a clean burn.

Light Sensitivity:** Store away from direct sunlight to prevent the natural oils from dissipating or the wood from becoming overly brittle.

Fire Safety:** Never leave burning incense unattended. Ensure the holder is placed on a heat-resistant surface and kept far away from flammable materials like curtains or paper.

General Caution:** Keep out of reach of children and pets. If you have respiratory sensitivities, use in a large, open space.

Notes

This collection is designed for the discerning enthusiast who seeks the quiet, meditative strength of the mountains, often described by the phrase "修谷" in traditional aromatic studies.
