copal: is an aromatic tree resin, traditionally from the Bursera bipinnata tree, central to incense-making in the Americas. Copal has a sweet pine scent when burned. 

lokta paper: is a traditionally Nepalese handcrafted paper. It is made of the bark of 2 evergreen (Daphe) shrubs. It is strong and durable and has been historically used for writing government documents and religious scriptures. In modern days, it continues these uses and is also popular for notebooks and art making (e.g., makes a great canvas for painting). So don't throw the lokta paper, but rather get creative with it :) 

These copal incense sticks are hand-wrapped in lokta paper in packs of 10. You may expect a burn time of about 50 minutes per stick.

use: matches or a candle to light the incense sticks, then blow out the flame and allow the smoke to disperse inside the space.

Please practice fire safety and burn these on a safe heat-resistant surface.
