Boswellia Papyrifera Frankincense Tea

$24.95

For our Frankincense Range, we've gone top of the line quality with a Fairtrade Somalian origin. Prized for their top quality resins, you won't find a higher quality than this.

The resin Boswellia papyrifera is a soft and historically important resin from the highlands of Ethiopia exported via Berbera Port, Somalia.

Papyrifera is harvested by hand using traditional tapping techniques and has a clean, sweet honey aroma, lighter than Carterii but with fruity and balsamic undertones.

Each tear of resin represents centuries-old traditions in which local farming communities live in harmony with nature, protecting Boswellia trees and ecosystems. It works directly with these communities to provide livelihoods while ensuring traceability, authenticity, and global compliance for every batch delivered by Tea Life.

Are your teas certified organic?

Up until recently we were certified organic but due to rising administration costs and the difficulty of maintaining certification we've put this on hold for now. Our suppliers and farms remain the same without any change but just now label things are organic, pesticide free or wildcrafted.

This also allows us to maintain our current pricing without any increases which we feel is more important at this time.
