About tonka bean incense
Tonka bean (Dipteryx odorata) is a species from the pea family, native to Central and South America. The ripe dried seeds are dark and wrinkled, with a smooth brown interior. The scent recalls vanilla, almond, cinnamon and clove – sweet, spicy and warming.
How you can use it
Tonka beans can be burned on charcoal as a herbal incense, for purification rituals or simply to set a soft, sweet atmosphere. According to traditional makers, the fragrance is associated with joy, lightness and a sense of connection.
What is in the pack
The pack contains 5 pieces of dried tonka bean incense in a cardboard tube. The listed price covers this pack of 5. Use only small amounts at a time, ideally mixed with other incense varieties.
How to burn
Burn on a heat-resistant dish with charcoal, or on a special sieve burner. The sieve burns more slowly than charcoal, giving a softer, longer fragrance. Tonka bean blends well with other types of incense.
Safety notes
Do not ingest. Use only in small quantities and always mixed with other incense varieties. Burn on a heat-resistant surface, keep away from children, pets and flammables. Never leave embers unattended.
