Yet another proud moment at Hermitage Oils, as of today (05/02/20) we now offer Omani Royal Hojari resin, from trees within the mountain areas of both Mount Al Qara and Mount Samhan. This resin is visually beautiful, aromatically stunning, and of course wild harvested. Concerning the royal title, simply in this instance, all tears are graded and the better tears, based chiefly on size, shape and colour profile, are put to one side and sold as this royal hojari offering which commands a much higher price than the tears graded as regular hojari. You also have sultan grade, and that commands nearly double the price of royal hojari, the genuine graded sultan resin is full of distinct blue green tears.
Aromatically the aroma of this resin is potent fresh smelling classic sacra frankincense, with heightened sweet citrus qualities throughout and no bitter aspects. The colour of the pieces we offer varies from pastel yellow through to dark green. Over the years, the boswellic acids found within this resin, and not found in the essential oil due to molecular weight, have been discussed in great detail. These acids are said to have a vast amount of health benefits, information of which is widely available online should you wish to research. As such, many people do chew on this particular resin and also add it to drinking water – which in turn slowly infuses the water with a refreshing frankincense aroma.
