Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

What does mastic smell like?
Reviewers consistently describe the scent as pleasantly sweet and light, with notes that some compare to anise and ouzo. Several customers note it works well burned as incense alone or blended with other resins. One reviewer found it "a bit much" for personal use alone but excellent in incense blends.
Is mastic good for chewing?
Many reviewers enjoy chewing it, noting a pleasant flavor that lasts a long time and provides a good jaw workout. One reviewer mentioned it helped with digestion; another noted it leaves the mouth feeling clean. However, one customer found it difficult to chew like traditional gum, so experiences vary.
How long does mastic last when chewed?
Reviewers report mastic lasts a very long time when chewed—one customer noted you can chew it for hours and still get benefit.
What is Grade B, and how does it differ?
Grade B mastic has slightly larger and more irregular tears compared to Grade A+, and is not as pure white in appearance. According to the product description, it has the same aroma whether fresh, chewed, or burned, but costs less. One reviewer noted some pieces were fine or powdery, which is consistent with the Grade B specification.
Can you use mastic as incense?
Yes, many reviewers use it burned as incense and praise the scent. Customers note it burns cleanly and works well on its own or mixed with other resins like roses. One reviewer calls it "high vibration" for cleansing when burned on coal.
Does this product stick to surfaces?
Yes—one reviewer warned that if you remove mastic to chew later, it will stick strongly to counters and plates, and recommends placing it on parchment paper instead.
Is the scent strong?
Reviewers describe the scent as sweet and light rather than overpowering. One customer noted it is "a bit much" for their personal taste when used alone, suggesting it is potent but not harsh.
