Dakara Frankincense (Boswellia Neglecta)

Dakara is the Kenyan word for this incense. This frankincense is a relatively unknown variety, and is sustainably harvested by the Samburu people in Kenya.  There is some debate as to whether or not this is a true frankincense, but regardless, the smell is just divine.  Frankincense is a small tree in the Boswellia genus found in the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa. When the bark is injured, such as from a beetle piercing it, the resin flows out to harden and solidify over the injured spots. The excess that drips down below the injured spot or off the tree entirely is then harvested by hand for incense use.    It is sticky on the inside and smells woody, almost like pine.   Directions for Enjoyment: Break apart the large chunks with our mortal and pestle. Using tongs (included with our censers), hold the charcoal on one end and use a butane or other torch or lighter to light one end, or opposite sides, of the tablet. Within seconds it will turn white on the edge. Place it on top
