Pine gum resin is derived from slash pine trees (pinus elliottii) growing in deep South of the USA, using sustainable forest spirit practice. Although this tree is found all over the southern part of the US it seems that North Carolina and Georgia Slash Pine is the sweetest and most vibrant in aroma due mainly because of the soil is rich and trees are very healthy. The trees are found growing wild more in forested areas of these states and are less touched by human contact.
Organically harvest the raw pine gum by hand carefully using the traditional tree tap method and the bag is attached to the inserted smallest sterile pipe so to collect the sweet-smelling sap cleanly. Trees are never over-harvested or cause these trees to lose wood growth. Then next after harvest the resin is then fired distill by using basically using the same methods used for hundreds of years by Native Americans who live in the area to filter out bark etc. Then the resin is separated from the water as it is poured quickly into a stone bowl and later broken into chunks (mortar and pisel). This process is and the results are a cleaner and completely pure and natural spirit resin that easily breaks like glass. This is how you know it is pure. Finally, the resin is packaged, labeled, and ship products all by hand. Pine resin is sweet with a slight citrus piney aroma that is a trait of Pine growing in the southeast USA We do not tap our trees during the summer month to give them rest.
