Frankincense of Somalia - Mystic Temple Resin incense comes from fragrant trees in the coastal mountains of Somalia, known as Carterii Sacre. This quality is used in fine church incenses. Its fragrance when burning offers soft, pine-needle freshness backed by a gentle, honeyed citrus tang. It is available in 1/2-ounce zip poly bags with a gold label explaining the how to burn on charcoal tablets on the reverse side, 1-pound zip plastic bags, or 5-pound bags with twist tie, for a reduced price. The 1/2-ounce packets will have smaller pieces. The bulk size will range from larger tears as shown to smaller pea-size, tiny chips and some powder. Resin incense is burned on charcoal tablets (sold separately) or in an electric bakhoor to release the fragrance. Only use a charcoal-safe burner - no wood or plastic.
