Nado Poizokhang Bhutanese Cinnamon Incense Sticks

Warm cinnamon-forward incense sticks hand-rolled in Thimphu by Nado Poizokhang, blended with classic Himalayan aromatic herbs.

Nado Poizokhang Bhutanese Cinnamon Incense

This is the cinnamon-forward variant from Nado Poizokhang, the Thimphu incense workshop known for its traditional botanical blends. Cinnamon has long been one of the most prized aromatics of the Himalayan world — traded across the passes for centuries, used in cooking, ritual, and medicine. Here it takes centre stage, blended with classic Himalayan incense herbs to create a warm, sweet, deeply comforting smoke.

The sticks are dense and richly aromatic. The dominant note is cinnamon — warm, sweet, slightly spicy — layered with softer notes of juniper, sandalwood, and other traditional Himalayan aromatics. The smoke is sweet, full, and contemplative.

How to enjoy this cinnamon incense in Bangkok:

The Ritual Way: Light the tip, blow out the flame, and let the stick smoulder in a heat-proof holder. The cinnamon fragrance fills the room gently and lingers.
The Seasonal Way: Particularly beautiful in autumn and winter, when the warm cinnamon fragrance pairs naturally with the season.
The Bhutanese Way: Burn as part of morning prayers or evening meditation. Cinnamon has long been considered auspicious in Himalayan ritual.

Hand-rolled in Thimphu by Nado Poizokhang.

The cinnamon-forward profile of this incense makes it especially suited to autumn and winter, when the warming fragrance pairs naturally with the season. It is also a favourite for evening rituals and for spaces where a sweeter, more comforting smoke is desired. The slow, even burn of these hand-rolled sticks fills a room gently without overpowering it. Cinnamon has long been valued in the Himalayan world as a sign of warmth and welcome, and burning this incense is a small, fragrant way of extending that welcome into your own home.

History of Nado Poizokhang Bhutanese Cinnamon Incense Sticks

Cinnamon has been one of the most prized spices and aromatics of the Himalayan world for centuries. In Bhutan, it grows in the warm southern districts and is traded northward into the highland valleys, where it is used in cooking, ritual, and traditional medicine. In incense-making, cinnamon is valued for its warming, sweet fragrance and its association with prosperity and protection.

Nado Poizokhang, a small family-run incense workshop in the Changangkha neighbourhood of Thimphu, combines traditional Bhutanese incense-making craft with carefully sourced aromatic ingredients. The cinnamon variant is one of its signature blends, designed for those who prefer a sweeter, warmer incense profile. Buying these sticks is a way to support a small Bhutanese craft workshop and to keep the traditional Himalayan incense craft alive.
