Specific ingredients are finely ground and mixed with pure water and a natural binding material called \"tabuko\" (machilus thunbergii). Because we use only natural components, the quality and ratio of each raw ingredient is critical to the final outcome. Moisture, drying time, and production methods are all major aspects of our blending process. Lacking the bamboo core seen in so-called \"dipped\" incense products, our mixtures are extruded, carefully shaped and then slowly dried. Shoyeido's manufacturing process is renowned for its quality and high standards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-25T13:24:08-04:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"new-items","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"contains","condition":"Shoyeido"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":412322037972,"handle":"zen","title":"ZEN","updated_at":"2024-11-23T12:00:14-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-06-06T13:33:27-04:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"new-items","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"zen"},{"column":"vendor","relation":"contains","condition":"Shoyeido"}],"published_scope":"global"}]
