    Ethiopian Frankincense is definitely in my top three, right next to Somali and Omani Frankincense.
    When it comes to Myrrhe, Somali Myrrhe is Nr.1, hands down.

      @@anthonyman8008 Oh, that's quite subjective really. What I think is good doesn't necessarily represent what another one might think is good.
      For example, the highly rated&priced green royal hojari frankincense from Oman is not one of my favorites, because I'm not much into the refreshing notes of this resin.
      So I would suggest you get in contact with someone that is actually a dealer of these products, and not just a consumer, like I am.

      Some seeds in nature are very eclectic in regards to how, where and when they can germinate. And we have yet to dial into the full range of their list of demands regarding the conditions necessary. There's a theory that some species seeds need to fall on very specific spots of an invisible energy grid usually referred to as ley lines. Perhaps even on very specific time frames, on top of the other conditions we all know like temperature, moisture, type of soil etc.
