Boswellia Frereana Frankincense Tea
Frankincense Frereana (Boswellia frereana) is a rare and highly prized resin from the Al Madow mountain ranges of Puntland, Somalia, and is locally known as Maydi.
Note this frankincense has less of a 'powdery coating' and therefore may be more sticky than other types.
This particular resin was prized for centuries for its sweet, citrusy and slightly minty scent - it was used as an all natural chewing resin and as a premium ingredient in perfumery and wellness apps.
Skilled nomadic families tap older Boswellia trees with traditional hand tools to collect the resin tears that form. It is then hand cleaned and sorted for purity of resin. Produced sustainably and in tune with Puntland's cultural heritage, Frereana resin reflects our commitment to tradition, traceability, and ethical trade.
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.
