The mixed blend delivers a more complex, evolving scent than single grade resin, woody, warm, and citrus lifted all at once
100% natural with no synthetic additives, what you burn is exactly what grows from the earth
Transforms any room within minutes, the scent is immediately recognisable and deeply evocative of Ethiopian hospitality
A small, affordable addition that completes the full sensory experience of any Ethiopian coffee ceremony setup
Care & Maintenance
Storage: Keep in a sealed bag or airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage preserves the potency of the aromatic oils within the resin.
Keep Dry: Frankincense resin is sensitive to humidity. Exposure to moisture can cause the crystals to clump or lose fragrance intensity over time.
Burning Safety: Always burn on a proper heat safe charcoal incense burner (Mekhaniya or equivalent). Never place resin directly on an open flame or flammable surface.
Ventilation: Burn in a well ventilated space. Open a window slightly to allow fresh air circulation while enjoying the fragrance, particularly important for smaller rooms.
Keep Away from Children and Pets: Store out of reach of children. Do not leave a burning charcoal burner unattended, and ensure it is placed on a stable, heat resistant surface throughout use.
Shelf Life: When stored correctly, pure frankincense resin retains its aromatic quality for several years. There is no strict expiry, but freshness is best within 2 to 3 years of opening.
