Using tea as incense/bakhoor/perfume
I'm quite into perfumery and incense and I'm also into tea
I've soaked tea in alcohol and then made plans to use it in perfumes but I'm wondering about *burning* tea as an incense - is this something that can be done or has been done?
I'd love if I could smell puer tea while drinking it

Thoughts and opinions?
The fifth tea I've bought for storage (to keep for a few years) - first time ever buying from TWG
This is, supposedly, a 2018 Puer tea for £108.
Won't be drinking it or opening it anytime soon but have in fact bought it
Opinions? Thoughts? Fill me up with buyers remorse
Currently have 5:
1 from The Chinese Tea Company (favourite)
3 from Mei Leaf (eh...)
1 from TWG - no opinions but is fancy and overwhelming in the store
Any other places to buy good cakes from?

Branching into premium Japanese all natural incense
Grew up with the zamzam brand incense, discovered Oud and then into Hainan aloeswood incense
Now I want to try some Japanese ones - they're branded as "premium" though not sure what that entails
Anyways, here's my first pick of the craft, any opinions before purchasing?

Soundbars for best connectivity with TCL
Hey all I'm currently watching the old X-Man and Spiderman marvel series from the 1990s and the colours are top tier, love the visuals and art work
I'd want to take it up a level by using good quality sound, currently have the TCL C6K and want a good soundbar that works well with TCL and has 5.1 sound system
I know eArc is preferable but TCL does have an internal+Bluetooth option and an auto option so maybe I could get a soundbar that works simultaneously with the internal audio to provide a full surround sound system? I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad
Either way, what's a good soundbar for the TV? I'd like to stay with TCL simply because of brand consistency (don't want to mix and match) but if another brand is recommended that's fine too

Looking for pure skin safe ethanol in the UK
I'm trying to make all natural perfumes and need to dilute it, the closest I've found to 200 Proof or 96%/100% ethanol is from Extract Lab (https://extract-lab.co.uk/product/extract-labs-ethanol/)
I'm wondering if in the UK it's possible to find non-denatured ethanol or pure clean ethanol without additives etc that I can use for my perfumes while keeping it skin safe?
