Ispalla Palo Santo & Copal Incense Sticks – 10 Sticks

The Ispalla Palo Santo & Copal Incense Sticks combine genuine Palo Santo wood with copal resin. They are handmade in Peru and belong to the Ispalla series, in which Palo Santo is combined with selected aromatic plants and resins.

According to the manufacturer, the Palo Santo used comes from wood that has fallen naturally to the ground. No trees are therefore cut down for their production. The manufacturer also states that the product has official certification from the Peruvian authorities relating to the sustainable use of natural Palo Santo populations.

Palo Santo and copal – two traditional incense materials

Palo Santo and copal both have a long tradition as incense materials in Central and South America. Palo Santo is the aromatic wood of Bursera graveolens and develops a warm, woody and slightly balsamic character when burned. Copal, by contrast, is a term used for various natural tree resins whose precise botanical origin can vary depending on the region and product.

In this incense blend, copal complements the warm woody fragrance of Palo Santo with brighter, resinous and slightly fresh nuances. The combination is therefore less deep and spicy than the variety with myrrh, placing greater emphasis on the clear, resinous character of the blend.

Handmade in Peru

Each incense stick is hand-rolled in Peru. One pack contains 10 incense sticks. The burning time is approximately 30 min per stick.

How to use

Light the tip of the incense stick and allow it to burn briefly. Then gently blow out the flame and place the glowing stick in a suitable incense holder. As it slowly burns, the woody aroma of Palo Santo blends with the resinous notes of copal.
