Frankincense Resin (rivae) - Ethiopia (Ogaden)

Frankincense (Boswellia rivae) is fair trade and sustainable. Harvested in the Somali region of eastern Ethiopia known as Ogaden. Like many other types of frankincense, it is harvested in rocky & arid regions. The Boswellia rivae has a much higher oil content than other types of frankincense and has a strong and complex fragrance that is equally very earthy as well as sweet, lending credence to its nickname, "Sweet Frankincense".
