Any possibility that you could share a neri koh recipe or lesson that we may all benefit from ?
Well, as my efforts are being made towards a potential commercial product I won’t go into the specifics of what I personally do. I will say that I make mine to satisfy my passion for appreciating wood and resin. I also wanted something to complement my tea session in addition to the oud I heat up. That said, we live in a world whereby information is readily available at our fingertips. I suggest if anyone is serious about it, you need to help yourself. Google can start you off. Do some research and understand the basics. Hard work, patience and sourcing good quality ingredients go a long way towards making good quality nerikoh. If you show that you are serious and have put in the work shoot me a PM and I’ll be happy to answer specific questions.
The links below are introductory posts I wrote on natural incense and nerikoh that may be of interest.

I started at aged Puerh tea, and now I'm starting to explore the different roads leading away from it. Just found out that I am a sucker for black tea and Wuyi oolong tea they're soooo good!Dear Mandeel, thank you for the kind words.
Dear Chip Burns, thank you. I love puerh and other categories of age tea. In the oud world I often hear all roads lead to Hindi oud. In the tea world I feel that final destination is age tea.

Indeed. I really do love tea. You can just sit down and enjoy a tea for a very long time, and it's just so calming and amazing.That is good. The significance of a journey is an accumulation of both time and how much ground is covered. Explore the vast landscape of tea that is out there. Experience the famous landmarks, and see the diversity of the different terrains and what they offer. Then when one day the feeling of surprise and fresh excitement leaves you, you will settle on your final destination.
Drop on by, Vancouver ain't that far... I'll have my "OUD YURT" done soon. (actual photos coming soon) attachments are purely conceptual.Sounds like you are talking about me
Fantastic.....gulp.....fannnnntastic!Had gotten a call from an old High School buddy, about two weeks ago, while talking I remembered his wife was of Japanese decent and that I had seen my first tea ceremony at her parents house, about 20 + years ago, I asked him if he was ever exposed to Kodo or any incense ceremonies during his tenure as a married man, he said not that he could remember and why did I ask... so I laid down a basic intro to oudh and my interest in it.. he politely ended our conversation and said he'd look further into it.
this afternoon he knocks on my door (he lives in Colorado I'm in New Jersey) and is completely read up on almost every website and you-tube video on the subject of Agar-wood and tells me he's ready to go traveling in search of the source of oudh.
I had to perform an emergency intervention and sat him down to a world tour at the burner... started in Assam, India with the oldest of my collection I had obtained from YAM International back in 2006, took him across the border into Burmese Private Reserve from Oudimentary, then into Thailand with some nice Super Trat from Feel-Oud, paused for some Java coffee that I had roasted yesterday, continued on to Cambodi Pursat from Agar Aroma, and ended up with some chips originating in Brunei from Ensar. He took to fumigating like a pro making sure to get it into his winter scarf like he'd been doing this for a long time... He had to leave to get his kids but something tells me he'll be back. House smells great.. He'll probably be visiting Ouddict soon as well told him all about you guys...
