Natural Frankincense Resin Incense

Frankincense resin is harvested from Boswellia trees native to the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa, where it has been traded for more than 5,000 years.

🌿 Flavor & Aroma

• Warm, resinous, and balsamic
• Notes of pine, citrus, and faint spice
• Smoke is clean rather than sweet

📜 Background

• Traded across the Arabian Peninsula and along Silk Road routes
• Referenced by Herodotus and Pliny the Elder
• Historically used in Eastern Roman church services after being brought west by Crusaders

🔥 How to Burn

• Light a charcoal disc with a match or lighter until it self-ignites
• Hold with tongs, never bare fingers
• Set the charcoal in a heatproof bowl filled with sand or dirt
• Let it warm a few minutes until gray around the edges
• Place a small amount of resin on top; it will release aromatic smoke
• Add more resin as it burns down for a longer burn
