Maydi Frankincense: A Journey to the Ancient Lands of Punt
Maydi Frankincense, also known as "Coptic Frankincense" or "Luban Maidi" in Arabic, holds a place of honor in the ancient world. Its resin, prized for its exceptional quality and unique aroma, was traded along the Incense Route, reaching the grand civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
The Egyptians, masters of ritual and ceremony, incorporated Maydi Frankincense into their sacred rites, using it to honor deities and embalm the departed. Its fragrant smoke was believed to carry prayers to the heavens and purify the soul. In ancient Greece, Maydi Frankincense was offered to the gods and used in medicinal preparations. The Romans, captivated by its exquisite aroma, incorporated it into perfumes, incense, and cosmetics.
We've sourced our frankincense directly from a fair trade supplier in Somalia that employs traditional sustainable wild harvest practices and employs expert members of the community who have been harvesting this precious material from ancient trees in the desert for generations.
