## About this gift

Rope incense is made a different way: herbs are wrapped in rice paper, then rolled and twisted into a small braid. This one is Himalayan cedar, known in Nepal as Dhup, and it suits anyone curious about incense beyond the stick.

Every rope is made by hand, with herbs from the high Himalayas bundled in hand-prepared rice paper. One rope burns for about 15 minutes. Burn it in a marble or metal dish, or on an ash bed in an incense burner. It gives a lot of smoke and can quickly fill a small room, so use it sparingly.

In Newari culture this cedar is known as Newa Dhup, and nearly every Newar home burns it. Ropes like these are traditionally lit in stupas, temples and drawing rooms for their scent. Lighting one brings a Newar household custom into your own home.
