Frankincense Tea

$8.95

Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) - the original gift to baby Jesus! Used since ancient times as tea and oil for a wide range of purposes such as aphrodisiac, brain function, cough, colds, and more...

With modern science slowly unlocking the keys to this aromatic resin, results have been promising but not yet convincing - and with further studies being needed.

Still, if you would like to experience the purported healing powers of Frankincense just as the ancients did and do see any great results then please let us know in a review as we'd love to hear about it!

organically grown India

Common Questions

What should I use per cup?
Take 1 / 4 - 1 / 3 cup (250 ml) resin granules at a time.

How long should it be soaked for?
Pour boiling hot water (90 -95degC) over the resin and let steep for 10-15 minutes. The resin might not dissolve completely - that's normal. If desired, strain the drink before drinking.

Reuse it?
Yes - often the same resin is re-steeped once or twice until it loses its smell and flavour.

Does it get reheated?
Sure, but do so slightly below boiling temperature (70-80 degrees Celsius). Avoid repeated reheating to preserve aroma.

Is it caffeine free?
No. Frankincense Tea has no caffeine.

Any added ingredients?
No additives, fillers, or flavorings in 100% pure Boswellia sacra resin.

Where do I store it?
Keep cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Resin is durable but should be sealed to keep fragrance.

Does it melt entirely in water?
Not entirely. Einige particles will remain - that's normal for resin infusions. Flavor compounds release into the water during steeping.

Can this be blended with another herb?
Yes. Frankincense goes well with calming or upbeat herbs like chamomile, holy basil, or lemongrass.

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.
