Frankincense Frereana Powder

Fresh powdered Frankincense Frereana. Grinding my fresh herbs and resins guarantees high-quality material for my work and customers. I use my freshest, best-quality resins and only grind as much as I need. Powder never sits around long in the studio. When it is gone, I grind some more, so it is always fresh. The powdering process is not as simple as it could be. I grind my resins at least twice in an electric grinder to achieve a fine powder that infuses easily into oils. Each time I grind Frankincense or Myrrh, I have to spread the powder out to dry, or it will clump and need to be reground. The first grind is fairly coarse and, in my opinion, not fine enough to easily infuse in oils, waxes or alcohol. The Frankincense I sell in the shop is twice-powdered and sifted. It is fine enough for whatever the purpose might be. Also, it is easy enough to powder it finer if you desire by running it through a mortar and pestle, coffee or herb grinder.
