Each pack contains 1/3 cup (80ml) of incense. This is a large quantity of incense that lasts for many many uses as you only need 3-4 little pieces per use.
 
Colour and shape may slightly vary as each batch is handmade.
 
Frankincense, commonly referred to as olibanum, is an aromatic resin derived from trees of the species Boswellia in the family Burseraceae that is used in incense and fragrances.
The Old French term franc encens, which means "high-quality incense," is where the English word "frankincense" originates. In Old French, the term "franc" signified "noble, pure."
In Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, frankincense is known as: λίβανος, líbanos (or λιβανωτός, libanōtós), is cognate with the name of Lebanon (Greek: Λίβανος).
 
All our Frankincense and Incense products are sourced directly from local monasteries here in Crete. Each monastery makes its own speciality incense and they are handmade in small batches. Due to this reason, quantities are limited.

How to use:
 
Resin incense is traditionally burnt on a charcoal tab in order to release its aromatic smoke.
 
Carefully light a charcoal tab on a heat resistant vessel. These are the same tabs used for nargile etc. Then place a few pieces of the resin incense on top of the lit charcoal.
