Royal Green Hojari Frankincense-BACK IN STOCK

Royal Green Hojari Frankincense-BACK IN STOCK

New super-fresh shipment April 2026 Get it while it lasts! For everyone who has been waiting.

Royal Green Hojari Frankincense is a particularly beautiful and fragrant resin. Traditionally reserved for medicine, high-end incense and tea, these succulent pieces share a green cast and a delightful sweet citrus scent.

(This new batch has an aroma that is closer to the elusive and outrageously expensive Sultan's Grade Royal Green Hojari, which we can no longer find. The Citrus notes are softer, and there is a stronger Amber heart note in the material. Absolutely gorgeous material!! Dan)

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

What does Royal Green Hojari smell like?

Most reviewers describe a bright, clean citrus scent with subtle piney and minty undertones, along with a warm amber heart. Many note it as fresh, uplifting, and distinctly aromatic when the package opens—significantly more fragrant than standard frankincense varieties.

Can you chew or ingest this frankincense?

Yes. Reviewers mention chewing it as an "absolute favorite" use case, and several describe making it into tea by infusing tears overnight in water, or working it into oil-based products and tinctures for internal use. The product description notes this traditional Arabian practice.

How does it burn—with smoke or low heat?

Reviewers report it can be used both ways: it melts at low heat without producing smoke if you prefer that, or it can be burned on charcoal for a fuller aromatic effect. One reviewer noted they use aluminum foil beneath the tear on charcoal and still detect the citrus scent clearly.

Is this actually green in color?

Most reviewers confirm the tears have a distinctive green hue and appear very fresh. However, one reviewer noted their package was not green, suggesting color can vary between batches or that some customers receive standard frankincense instead. The product description emphasizes the green cast as typical of this grade.

How does quality compare to other frankincense types?

Reviewers consistently describe this as noticeably higher grade than standard or oxidized frankincense, with cleaner, sharper, and more complex scent. Several mention it is distinctly superior to other Royal Green Hojari brands they have tried, attributing the difference to sourcing and freshness.

Is the package generous for the price?

Yes. Multiple reviewers comment on receiving a generous amount of large, well-formed tears. The product description notes that ounces are 30 grams (not 25) and the company adds "a bit more" to every package.

How fresh is this resin when it arrives?

Reviewers frequently note the frankincense arrives very fresh, with the scent evident immediately upon opening. Several mention it stays fresh-smelling and performs well when used in tea, oils, or incense blends.

What is Boswellia Sacra and why does it matter?

The product description identifies this as Frankincense Sacra from Oman (Boswellia Sacra), one of five frankincense types containing Boswellic acids—compounds traditionally associated with therapeutic use. These are distinct from other frankincense species both chemically and aromatically.

Can beginners use this, or is it only for experienced users?

Several first-time frankincense users report loving the aroma and finding it accessible for burning and tea-making. One reviewer noted they appreciated the detailed information available to help them get started with the product.

Does the color fade or oxidize over time?

One reviewer raised this concern and asked for preservation advice, suggesting some batches may lose their green color if stored improperly. The product description does not specify storage conditions, though the reviewer suggested using dark violet glass for preservation.

It takes many Kilograms of standard Omani Frankincense resin to collect a handful of the prized 'Royal Hojari'. In turn, it takes many Kilograms of Royal Hojari Frankincense to gather a small amount of the coveted Royal Green Hojari Frankincense tears. The sorting process which involves women of the community for much of the year, each tear of Frankincense is graded by size shape and colour.

Royal Green Hojari Frankincense has a delicately sweet, Piney, minty, citrus note with a heart of soft Amber, the scent of this resin suits its unique colour.

A staple of churches, Mosques and temples worldwide, Frankincense Sacra resin is traditionally used as incense and medicine.

Frankincense Sacra from Arabia and Oman is one of the five frankincense types that contain Boswellic acids. These are therapeutically active compounds that have been in the news a lot the past decade and are thought to be behind the plethora of conditions addressed with Frankincense in traditional medicine.

Royal Green Hojari Frankincense is ideal for the preparation of incense blends, therapeutic oils, salves, cremes and tinctures. In many Arabian cultures, it is infused overnight in water, ( a teaspoon of tears to a cup of room temperature water), and sipped throughout the following day for its therapeutic qualities. You can find the tincture and the oleo-extract of this resin in the shop.

Royal Green Hojari Frankincense is easy to work with and its beautiful fragrance follows it through every product you make.

Please note our ounces are 30 grams and not the 25 grams offered by many other sellers. To this generous ounce, we ALWAYS add a bit more and NEVER less to our packages. This is something our customers have come to count on.

Botanically, Boswellia Sacra from Arabia and Boswellia Carterii from East Africa are considered the same species. However, visually, aromatically and chemically they set themselves apart from each other. For this reason, I distinguish this resin from Oman as Boswellia Sacra.

Worth the splurge

Even just opening the package, the wonderful smell bursts right out! This is absolutely exquisite. The scent is beautifully bright and citrusy with delicate pine undertones clean, uplifting and truly premium. The resin pieces are stunning with their lovely green hue and burn perfectly. Yes it's pricier than other varieties but the quality is unmistakable. Worth every penny!

Fit for our King of Kings

Hello, to everyone that's never experienced the scent of a fine Frankincense. The Royal Green Hojari is the best of the best in my opinion. It's a fine top of the line cigar like the "Arturo Fuente OpusX", or an award winning red wine like "Undurraga Vigno 2022"! This Frankincence is elite and way above par in its aroma! It delivers you exactly what you should expect in a scent for our God the most High! It will put you in a great mood with the fragrance fit for the King of Kings! Enjoy!

Poor customer service

Reached out multiple times but no one reached out, my order seemed lost for over 2 weeks, then it finally showed up, I at a loss as to how it took 2.5 weeks to get to California, but less than a week to get to the UK :/ still no answers……

Hi Daniel,
I check emails and msgs every morning Mon-Fri. I do not see any msgs from you. What is your order #? I cannot explain why it took so long to reach you. We have no control over delivery once it goes to the post office. After it clears US customs, it is up to USPS to deliver to your address.
Regards,
Faye

Beautiful Gift

This is by far the best frankincense that I have ever purchased. It has a wonderful smell, bright and green, slightly piney, and very fresh. I purchased it along with several other resins and I was serendipitously surprised to find that a half ounce of boswellia bullata had been included as a gift. Very grateful for that, it smells so unique compared to boswellia sacra.

Many thanks and much blessing!

Magnificent in every way

I never had experience with Frankincense before and I really like the aroma so far even though I haven't burnt any. Would you give a few tips on what I need to do and maybe other things I need in which to burn it?
