Chewing frankincense

[topum]

Yesterday a friend of our host came to join our team and help with our project here. The guy got me hooked on chewing natural frankincense resin. It is like chewing gum with a very fresh taste which I find difficult to describe. He got his resins from Oman. There are many grades of it apparently. We are chewing Green Hojari, which I understand is one of the highest grades. I had to check if it got you high or was psychoactive in some other way before I tried it and it isn't. It is way more expensive than your regular chewing gum though.

Thank you for the link. I just spent a few minutes looking over a .gov study on cancer and frankincense.

Yes, he told me about its healing properties too but I was most interested in its taste and the refreshing feeling in my mouth. I might drop in to that frankincense store in London, it is in Camden Market but usually I get into stuff like this for a very short period of time and then forget about it and move on to something new.

I'm not sure I've ever even smelled frankincense, but this has gotten me curious.
