Kingston Incense (Astier de Villatte)

Came across this incense a couple years ago at Blanche + Mimi in Portland Maine.

I just love an item with a fun little history.

The incense is made on Awaji Island in Japan where incense has been made for over one thousand years by Koh-shis (Masters of Aromas).

Kingston is my maiden name so this was the first box we purchased.

We have since purchased two more boxes in other scents and all have been lovely and distinct.

Absolutely worth the price, the burn time is extensive. Each little stick burns for 30 minutes or so. With 125 sticks in the box’s that’s more than 62 hours of burn time.
