About Tulip Kinara cha Mshumaa

Tulip ni kinara cha mshumaa kilichotengenezwa kwa udongo wa kaure, kilichobuniwa kushikilia mishumaa ya kawaida yenye harufu nzuri. Umbo la Tulip limechorwa kutokana na umbo la ua la tulip. Nafasi zilizopo kati ya petali huruhusu kijiti cha kiberiti kilichowashwa kupenya, hivyo mshumaa unaweza kuwashwa kwa urahisi. Kinara hiki kina vipimo vya milimita 55 kwa 55 kwa 70. Mshumaa unapowaka, mwali mdogo huakisiwa kwenye nta iliyoyeyuka na harufu nzuri laini hutolewa. Tulip imekusudiwa kurahisisha uwashaji wa mishumaa na kusaidia kuwepo kwa mazingira tulivu ya nyumbani kwa ajili ya kupumzika na kutafakari.
