Imagine stepping into a workshop where the fragrant swirl of herbs and resins tells a story of mountains, temples, and ancient rituals. For Zhou Feng, this scene became reality after an 11-year odyssey from the plains of Henan in the Chinese mainland to the rooftops of Lhasa. There, he immersed himself in the centuries-old craft of Tibetan incense, learning how every ingredient holds a whisper of tradition and healing power 🌿🕉️.
Back in his studio under the Sangputi name, Zhou blends global herbs—like lavender from Europe and sandalwood from India—with Himalayan juniper and precious Himalayan salts. Each batch begins with hand-picked botanicals that simmer in copper pots before being shaped into sticks or loose incense. The result? Scents that don’t just fill a room, but invite you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner calm 🧘.
More than smoke in the air, Zhou Feng believes incense is a bridge—linking the monastic rhythms of Lhasa with the quick pace of city life. Whether lighting a stick at home or offering blends to monasteries high on mountain cliffs, his work celebrates patience, cultural exchange, and the quiet power of slowing down. Ready to find your moment of stillness?
