tar creates an absolute sub directory within the compressed file

I would like to tar a folder using zstd. My folder contains subfolders a and b. I am tar-ing using this: tar --zstd -cvf /dest/path/to/output/archive.tar.zstd /full/path/to/src/folder However, this causes archive.tar.zstd to contain /full/path/to/src/folder/ and instead of just folder How do I fix this?
