ABOUT COPAL

“COPAL is an ancient aromatic resin derived from the sap or “blood” of the Bursera tree hardened over time in contact with the air. Burned ceremonially by Mesoamerican cultures for cleansing, healing, and divine energy, WHITE copal is believed sacred and highly-valued for its purifying properties & scarcity as a “wild harvest” sap. 

 Copal has been used in rituals, celebrations, and offerings tracing back thousands of years to sacred sites and the temples of Mexico and Central America. In honor of these ancient cultures TEMPLE COPAL invites you to calm and connect with the divine, offering 100% Pure Sacred WHITE Copal resin incense sticks. Handcrafted in Mexico & supporting indigenous cultures.”

Temple Copal

We offer the purest & highest-quality copal resin available. Exposed to the air longer, our copal hardens from a yellow sap-like state to a white rock-like resin. This maturity gives it a more potent piney aroma and a powerful clearing & cleansing ability. Where others claim to be white copal, we truly hold the standard, valuing quality and transparency.

Additionally our sacred sticks are hand-dipped fully-coated in the pure resin. We do not “cut” our copal by adding any filler material, nor do we drizzle or dust apply our copal onto the stick.

TEMPLE COPAL is 100% Pure Ceremonial-Grade White Copal - no fillers, no additives, no skimping on the resin. Each stick offers a 90+ minute burn time; put-out and re-light as you wish.


COMPANY ETHOS

We believe in conscious-capitalism exchange & sustainable business practices for a cleaner planet and more elevated-conscious ways of living & thriving. Temple Copal is a “wild-harvest” product that does not require agricultural exhaustion or deforestation. We love brother Palo Santo and sister Sage, but both require unnatural grow-to-cut agro-production processes to meet present demand. Copal is a naturally occurring tree resin that drips and is collected from the Burseraceae Copal tree. No trees are hurt during the sap collection process and no land is cleared to grow or farm copal.

TEMPLE COPAL is 100% Pure WHITE Ceremonial-Grade copal resin - ZERO filler / ZERO additives or impurities. WHITE copal is the most scarce & most valued of all copal resins as it has naturally aged the longest. To this day Aztec & Mayan ancestors believe copal to be a medicinal offering from the soul of the trees and a divine connection with the ceremony of nature.

MEET GUSTAVO & GIOVANNA

Gustavo has been the supplier of the incense sticks since Temple Copal started in 2018, and has been working with and sharing this specific copal since 2007. Giovanna has been working with Copal in ceremony since 2016.

We live in a small coastal town in Nayarit, Mexico. We are both ceremonialists and have studied and received transmission from different native elders in Mesoamérica. We find great joy in sharing our gifts and medicines with our community.

Copal is a big part of our day to day, and we are deeply grateful for the magic and abundance that it has brought into our lives.

Thank you for being part of Temple Copal!
