Hermitage Frankincense: High-Quality Red Hojari (Boswellia Sacra)
$8.00
Just like Royal Hojari Frankincense, Red Hojari is resin harvested from the boswellia sacra species of the frankincense tree. These beautiful resins—which vary in color from light pink to brownish red and golden yellow—have an equally beautiful fragrance that is sweet and mellow, with hints of citrus. It is more distinct from Royal Green in both fragrance and color than any other kind of Hojari frankincense.
As with all of our raw incense varieties, Red Hojari is an excellent option for those with respiratory sensitivities.

Hermitage Frankincense: Royal Green Hojari (Boswellia Sacra)
$16.00
From the deserts and mountains of southern Oman comes Royal Hojari, the finest frankincense in the world. Harvested from the tops of the youngest frankincense trees, Royal Hojari is all-natural and pure. Because of its rarity and unsurpassed quality, Royal Hojari is the frankincense reserved by the Sultan of Oman for his own personal use.
This beautiful jade-colored resin has a fragrance both delicate and refined, with a complex bouquet containing notes of citrus, pine, honey and eucalyptus. Producing an exquisite aroma when burned, Royal Hojari is especially ideal for worship and prayer, and is the best choice for those with respiratory sensitivities.
Royal Hojari comes in marble-sized, tear-shaped, pieces. It is then hand-cut by the brothers of the monastery for use at home or in Church.
