Black Frankincense — Boswellia Neglecta | Hand Selected by the Samburu Tribe | Kenya

Hand-selected by the Samburu tribe of Kenya, this rare Black Frankincense (Boswellia neglecta) offers a strikingly different aromatic character from the more familiar East African and Arabian frankincense species. Darker, smokier, and deeply resinous with an earthy, balsamic depth — it is a prized specialty resin that reflects both the unique ecology of the Kenyan landscape and the traditional knowledge of the Samburu people who harvest it.
