Background
There are many varieties of frankincense (Boswellia) tree across the world. Each produce a slightly different resin depending on the climate and the soil.
Fun fact: The difference in climate can also affect the quality and the diversity of the resin within the same species. But bare that in mind, not every Boswellia tree produces an aromatic resin. The main aromatic types are:
- Boswellia serrata
- Boswellia sacra
- Boswellia frereana
- Boswellia carterii
Boswellia carterii and Boswellia frereana grow in Somalia and Ethiopia. Boswellia sacra and Boswellia Serrata are the most aromatic and have the most medicinal properties out of all the other species.
The most valued species, Boswellia sacra grows in Oman and Yemen. Particularly Nejd region of Oman, is home to the finest frankincense sacra.
