About Us
The Gifted Hand is a family run business established in 1993 and is based in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, Ireland.
John O Brien, and Joannes Berkery, formed this company after returning to Ireland following years of immigration in Boston. During their years as Irish immigrants John & Joannes, became aware of the uniqueness of Irish life style and reminisced with many fellow Irish men and women
The concept of Irish Turf Incense was born. After returning home John & Joannes set up a business partnership in 1990. Business studies, planning economics were studied at length. However the biggest work was the production of the Turf sod incense. John and his father Paddy O Brien developed the process of incensing this elusive, natural component.
Irish Turf Incense was introduced to the Irish market in Jan 1994 on a national TV show: The Late Late Show (then hosted by Gay Byrne) and was hailed as one of the great innovative products of the year.
 Since 1994 Irish turf /peat incense has been exhibited every year at Showcase Ireland, An internationally recognised trade show selling Irish products to the home market and export. The Gifted Hand has two major markets, selling to Retailers and mail order companies and also direct to the public on this website and by phone. So please call or email if you have any questions or need clarification on anything.
Since then the story unfolds with Irish Turf Incense now reaching the four corners of the earth. "It has been a lot of hard work but good fun. Feedback from customers all over the world is so encouraging for us. It is thrilling to hear how our simple product can connect people anywhere to their treasured Irish Memories with the distinctive smell of an Irish Turf Fire".
