Tapping: We use tapping techniques that maximise quality whilst protecting the trees
-
Harvesting: Performed by trained and registered local communities
-
Seasoning: To prevent clumping of the resin tears
-
Batch Testing: Batch samples are distilled and tested for quality
-
Cleaning: Removal of foreign matter

Sorting & Grading: Resin tears are graded by quality
-
Distillation: Steam distillation of the resin in our facility in Dubai
-
Lab testing: GCMS profiles analysed for each batch
