Many premium handmade Tibetan incense sold around the world relies on wild plateau herbs grown in high-altitude clean areas. Two core producing areas supply most natural raw materials for traditional incense making: Nyemo and Menyu, where the average altitude exceeds 3800 meters. The cold, pollution-free plateau climate slows the growth of plants and concentrates natural fragrance inside every herb. Common raw materials used in our incense include Tibetan cypress, spikenard, sandalwood and rhodiola, all picked by local craftsmen by hand without chemical fertilizers. Local villagers follow ancient rules for herb collection. They only pick mature plants in specific seasons and spread all herbs under natural sunlight to air dry for 20 to 40 days, avoiding machine high-temperature drying that damages natural scent. There is an obvious difference between wild plateau herbs and artificially planted raw materials. Wild plateau herbs carry a deeper, calmer woody herbal aroma, which makes handmade Tibetan incense perfect for meditation and quiet home spaces. If you prefer incense made from authentic highland raw materials, handmade plateau Tibetan incense sets will be your ideal choice for daily use or holiday gifts.
