Set a charcoal disc glowing, add a small piece of gum arabic resin, and watch the amber lump soften into quiet smoke. This is a mild aromatic resin from South Sudan, chosen for blending when stronger incense needs a gentler base. Its translucent honey, apricot and rust-coloured pieces bring the old pleasure of raw resin into a slower evening at home.

About this product
What the resin is like
- Irregular glassy lumps, from pale golden chips to deeper orange-brown pieces.
- A naturally mild scent, suited to people who prefer incense with a softer character.
- The pieces can be burned alone, or used as a base resin with herbs and other aromatics.
- On heat, the solid resin slowly changes texture before releasing its smoke.
- The varied shapes and frosted surfaces give it a raw, unpolished beauty.
A gentle base for incense blends
Gum arabic resin is valued for its lightness. Rather than dominating a blend, it sits underneath sharper herbs or more forceful resins, rounding the smoke and making the whole mixture feel less pointed.
Its scent is not heavy or perfumed. Think of it as a quiet foundation, useful when you want the ceremony of resin incense without an overpowering fragrance.
How to burn gum arabic resin
Use with a heatproof resin burner and a charcoal disc, sold separately. Light the charcoal safely, let it ash over, then place a small piece of resin on top with tongs or a spoon.
Add only a little at first. Resin smoke can build quickly, and the character changes with the heat of the charcoal and the size of the piece. Ventilate the room, keep away from fabrics, and never leave burning charcoal unattended.
From tree sap to glassy tears
Gum arabic forms when tree bark cracks under dry conditions and releases sap, which hardens into clear, brittle tears. Sudan and the surrounding region are closely associated with gum arabic production, and this resin comes from South Sudan. In incense practice, raw resins like this are part of a very old way of working with scent: no stick, no binder, just plant sap meeting heat, turning from solid to smoke in front of you.
