Our frankincense Collection features 3 premium fair-trade frankincense resin varieties from Somalia, each prized for purity, aroma, and traditional use.

These resins are picked from wild-growing Boswellia trees and are ethically traded supporting local communities while preserving ancient harvesting methods.

Frankincense Carterii Resin is a classic blend - slightly resinous with warm, earthy notes - and one of the most recognized Frankincense varieties. Frankincense papyrifera resin - with a stronger, more aromatic profile - is often preferred for its deeper aroma and slightly stronger resinous warmth when infused or smoked aromatically.

The final resin is frereana frankincense and contains soft, lighter sweetness. These three resins together demonstrate the subtle character of frankincense - whether as a traditional tea, as an aromatic, or in mindful wellness rituals.
