Boswellia Carterii Frankincense Tea

$38.00

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.

One of the world's most prized resins is frankincense carterii (Boswellia Carterii) harvested in the mountains of Ufeyn, Bari, and Karkar, Puntland (Somalia).

Traditional artisanal tapping of mature Boswellia trees reveals resin tears that form naturally. When collected they are sun-dried and hand cleaned to retain purity and quality. This sustainable process yields a resin that is aromatic and culturally Puntland - based.

As a tea, Frankincense Carterii yields a distinctive herbal infusion with earthy balsamic notes and mild bitterness. The resin pieces are picked and processed minimally to show their natural character. That makes it an unusual choice for fans of traditional herbal preparations or resin-based teas.
