Resources for Incense Buyers and Enthusiasts

The Everest Trader incense selection has been mindfully curated as a result of over 20 years of traveling the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. We have tried thousands of sticks, from Tibetan Monastery Incense, to hand-rolled Indian Temple Grade Incense, to Balinese Dhupa from Indonesia. Our high standards and experience in quality control make sure that only the best incense make it to our website.

We have learned a lot over the years working with some of the most sought after incense houses and manufacturers in Asia. We believe small batch, noncommercial, and handmade incense is far superior than whats commonly available in the more common retail marketplaces. We buy our incense in person, at the point of origin, ensuring that the quality is passed on to you.

Here at the Everest Trader online incense store, we believe in making the online shopping experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We are more than happy to answer questions via email or chat, and to help our customers choose which incense is best and suitable for them and their tastes. Whether you’re looking to enhance your meditation and yoga practice, or bring a Himalayan or southeast Asian vibe to your home or living area, we are here to help point you in the right direction.

Some of the common questions we are often asked by our customers are:

“What incense is the best?” and “Which incense can you recommend?”

From the many sandalwoods, nag champas, oudhs, and jasmines, to the floras, masalas, and resin smudge sticks, it can be quite over whleming when deciding which incense to choose for the first time. We carry almost 1000 different incense sticks from southeast Asia, mostly from India and Nepal but also Tibet, Thailand, and Bali. While we have many that are our favorites, the question of which is the best can be quite subjective.

We would like to offer some suggestions to our customers when purchasing new scents for the first time, or possibly making a repeat purchase of their favorite.

One of the best resources we can recommend is the popular website Olfactory Rescue Service, they have been reviewing incense sticks for years and is possibly the longest running incense review websites on the internet. Whether you’re interested in Japanese incense or Indian and Tibetan Incense, ORS keeps up to date on all the lastest releases from around the world, documenting batch variations throughout the years, and making note of continued consistincey which really make incense suppliers stand out. Feel free to give them a visit, and take advantage of the organized pages and use the search function to start your very own deep dive into the world of incense.

A few other similar incense blogs we recommend are Incense in Wind, Rauchfahne, and Ratnagandh. We will link to them below as well.

Before launching our independent website, our collection was offered through our Etsy storefront, where we completed and shipped over 20,000 orders for customers worldwide, and accumulated around 5,000 verified Etsy reviews. This can be such a great resource since customer feedback remains publicly available there, and we encourage our customers to check it out. Search for the incense sticks your interested, and you will find verified customer feedback we’ve received on all the incense we carry.

As always, don’t hesitate to send us an email or use the chat function on our website. We respond to messages quickly, usually within a few hours. And we will gladly help guide you to your next incense purchase.

Below are the links to the resources, and please remember that every order will include free samples for you to try, and we hope you can discover some new favorites.
