The warm, food-like aroma works well as a brief steam moment, though the intended use is as a drinking tea, not an aromatherapy product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the toasted sesame note prominent, or is it just a background scent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSesame is one of the listed ingredients and adds a nutty, toasted undertone that supports the rice and coconut rather than dominating the aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the aroma clash with candles or essential oils in a meditation space?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe toasted, sweet profile is generally compatible with warm, vanilla, sandalwood, or rice-based scents, but very sharp or herbal oils may compete with the toasty notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the scent change as the cup cools, or stay consistent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen hot, the toasted rice and caramel notes lead.
