DAY 6: workshop - incense making



Making conbustible incense (1)
aromatic material: fermented coconut ??? (by Pablo and Juan)
It smells like sheep cheese.


1 teaspoon fermented coconut
1/2 teaspoon makko
1/4 teaspoon charcoal powder (ground Japanese charcoal)




Making conbustible incense (2)
aromatic material: tobbac (by Willem)


Making non-combustible incense (Neriko)
aromatic material: violet tea (by Yerry)


1 teaspoon violet tea
1/2 teaspoon honey + more

They are all 'binder' for making Neriko.


Checking the smell of non-combustible incense made by Yerry




It smelled like bitter black tea, not quite like violet tea. So I've measured the temperature, then it turned out to be too high: 200 degrees!



So I've lowered internal temperature of the burner to 80 degrees ---> smelled more 'sweet' than just bitter black tea

Sharing Willem's project in development.






Checking extracted smells.
