- The practice of using tea as incense is very popular in Japan and is known as Okô Yô Ryokucha (お香用緑茶)
- Green tea from the previous year's harvest still possesses much of its aroma and is well-suited for subtle and delicate room fragrance
- The complex scent of green tea creates a welcoming and calming ambience
- Ideally use a Japanese incense burner with a pan made from chakoro clay (茶香炉)
- It is not recommended to use an incense burner with a metal pan, as the pan will get too hot
