Why We Love It

I love incense! The smoke, the smell, the ritual. Normally incense sticks are quite large and last a long time. If you find that experience too much, meaning the smell and smoke is over powering, this product is perfect! It's called 10 minute incense because it's a subtle scent and lasts about 10 minutes. I recommend using a lighter or match rather than striking the incense match (I tend to be a hard striker, and you have to strike softly with these!).

Details

  • Gift box of 5 assorted fragrances. Each gift box will have 1 box of 8 incense sticks in the following scents: Geranium, Lavender, Lemongrass, Tea Tree, & Ylang Ylang. Each purchase comes with a burning pad for safe burning. 
  • Approximately 10 minutes of burning time. Scent lingers for about 30 minutes or more. 
  • Where: Made in Japan
  • How to Use: Do not strike as if you're lighting a regular match. Incense matches are delicate. Hold the match close to the tip and without burning yourself strike in a straight line and wait for the flame to reach the incense stick. Once it does, blow out the flame and place it on your mat.

    If you strike too hard and it breaks or snaps in half, we recommend you to light it with a lighter (if you're able without burning yourself), let it burn and reach the incense stick and place on the mat. Take the other "half" and push it together. The second half should be able to light. This is not common and only will occur if you strike the match too hard. Most users don't have this issue.

From the Kobe Match Copany
After years of trial and error, the Kobe Match Co, the creators of the Hibi Match, arrived at the perfect mixture of paper fibres, incense and charcoal to create the perfect strike-on-box incense match. Each one of the Hibi matches last for about ten minutes bringing delightful fragrances to anywhere you bring the palm-sized box, allowing short aromatherapy sessions for the busy individual. The Harima region of Awaji island has been producing matches and incense for nearly one hundred and fifty years and the island accounts for nearly 70% of the match production in Japan. The westerly winds through Awaji island create the perfect temperature to dry incense; each of the fragrances derives from herbs grown by a local incense producer using traditional methods.
