Omani Hojari frankincense is considered the most precious frankincense in the world. Its uniqueness lies in the highest quality, which is achieved through the combination of ideal climatic conditions, soil characteristics and traditional harvesting. The careful extraction and unique fragrance make it sought-after for spiritual rituals and medicinal applications.

There are two methods for smoking resins and herbs correctly. Smoking with charcoal: light a charcoal tablet in a fireproof bowl. As soon as it glows and a white layer of ash forms, place a small or slightly larger amount of resin and/or herbs on top. Let the smoke develop and spread it with a feather. Ensure good ventilation and choose suitable plants and herbs for your intentions, be it meditation, cleansing or relaxation.

Smoking with a teapot and tealight: Place the incense burner on a free-standing container over a tealight. Light the candle, wait until the sieve is warm and then add resins or herbs. The smoke escapes gently through the sieve, while the candle heats the smoked food. Ensure safe use and choose suitable herbs for the desired effects.

Our flower-shaped smoking sieve has been designed by us with great attention to detail. It is the best choice to bring resins and herbs into perfect balance and gently incense them with a tea light. The sieve can be placed on different containers. It is very important when burning incense with a sieve and tea light that the incense only melts slightly and does not smoke or burn!

Use a heat-resistant container that is not too high and choose a diameter so that the petals are approximately centered to the outside.
The inner petals can be bent upwards to provide more air supply, e.g. for closed containers. By carefully bending the outer petals, you regulate the height and thus the temperature of the sieve to achieve a slightly melting state of the resin. Our sieve has two sides, an open one that gets warmer and is perfect for resins that require more heat and do not become liquid, such as our Hojari incense. The closed side is used for herbs, woods and flowers, as these burn faster and require less heat, allowing them to release their aromatic fragrance best.

Put three fingers full of Naturwerkstatt Premium incense on top and spread it roughly over the two sides. Incense on the open side, herbs on the closed side. If the sieve is too hot, carefully pull it to one side and wait until it has cooled down a little. You can then bend the petals down slightly to raise it. If it is not warm enough, bend the leaves slightly upwards to deepen it in the vessel and reduce the distance to the tea light. Regular cleaning is important. You change the incense when it becomes darker and no longer smells good. Remove the residue and scrape it off thoroughly with a wire brush or other suitable object.

Never leave incense and candles unattended!
