Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Govinda Green Royal Hojari Frankincense (Boswellia Sacra) - Premium 1 Oz Resin for Aromatic Bliss by Erin Ellis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

NO GREEN PARTS! NOBODY.

It's getting annoying, very, very few sellers have a real Green Hojari. Why show a photo with bits of green when your Hojari Green is almost or completely whitish? Most sellers on Etsy do the same, I only know of 2-3 who can currently ship mostly green resin, but it's not cheap. Branches that receive a higher concentration of nutrients and therefore have a greenish appearance. Either that or the younger branches are cut down (pun intended) leaving only this whitish resin. This is by no means terrible Hojari quality but far from grade A+ as the seller states in the description. . The best quality is actually BLUE or teal, but it can be very expensive, $30-$60 an ounce I believe. The aroma is also exceptionally strong. However, I did NOT expect such a rating ("Sultan's degree"), but I would like at least a moderate amount of green pieces. Sellers must provide CLEAR statements that their Green Hojari does indeed appear mostly or entirely whitish. The search for cheap green goes on!

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor problems
