Yuzu Sunrise: Zitrus-Gradient-Duftwechsel-Räucherstäbchen

The color shift on the stick is what sold me, and watching it creep from yellow to green really does tell you when the mint gives way to ginger. Lighting one before I make coffee has become my whole morning ritual.

The color shift on the stick is oddly useful — you can glance over and know exactly when the mint is about to give way to ginger without watching a clock. Only gripe is the citrus phase burns a little fast for my taste.

I lit one while working and the citrus-to-mint-to-ginger sequence kept me surprisingly grounded through a long afternoon. Only gripe: the ginger finish fades faster than I'd like. Still, watching the stick shift color as it burns is oddly satisfying.
