Frankincense is the dried sap of the Boswellia tree. This variety is native to Oman. The sap, also known as tears or resin, is burned as incense and can also used in perfumery and medicine. It is tapped by making cuts in the bark and allowing the exuded resin to harden. These hardened pieces of resin are called tears. Frankincense is graded based on color, purity, aroma, and place of origin. There are several species and varieties of Boswellia trees, each producing a slightly different resin. Hojari, wildcrafted, in the mountains of Salalah, Oman, is generally considered the highest grade. The resin is characterized by a citrus-eucalyptus smell with woody/earthy undertones. This mixed-grade listing allows you to experience the various types of Hojari frankincense.
