Frankincense is the hardened sap that runs from a tropical tree in the torchwood family that grows in Asia and the Middle East. The resin “bleeds” from the scored bark of trees that are 8 to 10 years of age and quickly hardens to form “tears.” It is highly fragrant and most commonly used in this form as incense. 
Place on a burning charcoal disc to use as an incense or use in potpourri with other warm spices.
*Not for culinary use 
Store frankincense tears in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
