Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh 72% (Seasonal)

Ancient Aroma

The harvesting of frankincense and myrrh is a long and arduous task. Tree sap must be drawn from the boswellia tree and allowed to crystallize, however, the first taps of the tree yield a sap low in fragrance, and white in appearance. It takes repeated tapping to yield a sap of high aroma and quality with an amber or ruby tint.

This repeated tapping is damaging to the tree, which must be very carefully managed by the farmers to ensure it remains healthy and strong against diseases, This is often overlooked when sourcing frankincense from wild trees.

For this reason, we work with small independent farmers in Morocco, who are outside of the main bulk trade of frankincense and myrrh. They produce resins of very high quality for which we are more than happy to pay a premium, which is an addition to their main income as cactus farmers.
