The pressed biomass component includes plant or animal material that is compressed by a press plate apparatus by application of pressure within a range of 1000 to 36000 pounds per square inch (PSI). The pressed biomass component is a resultant of the application of the pressure to the plant or animal material and typically has a weight of 0.5-10 grams. The pressed biomass component of claim 1 may be formed in a disc shape including a curved perimeter, a top surface and a bottom surface oriented in parallel with the top surface; thus, resembling a coin. The application of pressure to the press plate apparatus forms the pressed biomass component to support a desired burn time when placed on a heating apparatus. The heating apparatus often includes a ceramic bulb having a wattage within a wattage range of 50 w-150 w. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A pressed biomass component comprising: plant material comprising loose leaf sage, wherein the plant material is compressed by a press plate apparatus by application of pressure within a range of 25000 to 36000 pounds per square inch (PSI), wherein the pressed biomass component is a resultant of the application of the pressure to the plant material, and the pressed biomass component has a weight of 0.5-10 grams, wherein the pressed biomass component is bound together by natural moisture content of the plant material that is extracted during compression of the plant material, and wherein binding of the pressed biomass component is without use of additional binding agents. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The pressed biomass component of claim 1, wherein pressed biomass component formed in a disc shape including a curved perimeter, a top surface and a bottom surface oriented in parallel with the top surface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The pressed biomass component of claim 2, wherein the application of pressure forms the pressed biomass component to support a desired burn time when placed on a heating apparatus, and wherein the heating apparatus includes a ceramic bulb having a wattage within a wattage range of 50 w-150 w. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The pressed biomass component of claim 1, wherein the desired burn time is within a range of 11-15 minutes. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The pressed biomass component of claim 1, wherein the range of pressured applied is 30000-36000 PSI. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The pressed biomass component of claim 1, wherein the plant material comprises loose leaf white sage. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The pressed biomass component of claim 1, wherein the plant material comprises the loose leaf sage by a weight percentage ranging from seventy to seventy-seven percent (70-77%) of a total weight of the pressed biomass component. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The pressed biomass component of claim 7, wherein the plant material further comprises lavender by a weight percentage ranging from twenty to twenty-seven percent of a total weight of the pressed biomass component. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The pressed biomass component of claim 8, wherein the plant material further comprises makko powder by a weight percentage ranging from 0.1 to 2-percent of a total weight of the pressed biomass component. ### Claim 10 A method for producing a pressed biomass component, the method comprising: placing plant material in a bottom press plate of a press plate apparatus, wherein the plant material comprises loose leaf sage or shredded Palo Santo;
