Chios Mastic Mastiha Tears Gum Greek 100% Natural Packs from Growers (20gr Medium Tears)

Good quality but Not properly cleaned …

It is nut the gum that I was looking for. Too expensive and not worth it at all.

I had to write a review on this due to so many negative feedback from others. If you want chemical, plastic-y gum to chew on, really shouldn't be looking at mastic gym anyway. This stuff is like crystallized hard sap that gets soft with the warmth of your mouth and chewing, however the gum is still tougher than regular store-bought gum (hence why many use it to work out their jaws). The initial taste is a strong and earthy, for about a minute. After that, it's a very subtle flavor resembling the initial taste. I personally really enjoy the very natural flavor. This gum can be used and reused for several days, on and off throughout the day. My kids also love it, which is great because it's good for the gut and strengthens their jaws. You only need two or three small pieces for a nice sized piece of gum to chew on. Will definitely keep buying this gum.

This mastic Gum does remove hearburn or acid reflux for me anyway. The only downside is it sticks to teeth like crazy. But product does the work it says it will do.

I was very disappointed with this product. It’s marketed as gum, but it’s more like a soft, sticky, tasteless substance that clings to your teeth in an unbearable way—worse than eating Cheetos! They tell you to spit it out when you're done but how? I had to pull it out of my teeth with my fingers then brush my teeth, then buy a new toothbrush because it's stuck all over it. Perhaps this is a product that needs a bit more refining before selling.

Dust flakes came out when I opened the package, and each piece was so hard and brittle that it breaks immediately as I bit on it. They taste bitter and get stuck in your teeth like biting into a hard lollipop, These are definitely expired or not kept in the right environment.

This was my first ever Mastic gum purchase. The sizes of the tears being advertised as Medium may be a bit exaggerative considering about half my bag was small tears. The bag itself was pretty small - I should have looked into the size more. The texture per tear really varies, by that I mean some will be good - tough and chewable right away, some will be rock hard and crumble but with saliva will form its stickiness, and some will turn to dust but again with saliva eventually gather with the chunk of tear in your mouth. Flavor for me isn't a big deal, this product in particular didn't really have much flavour - a very faint taste of the resin which I really enjoyed the taste. You can chew this for hours and it won't go bad, people actually promote rechwing but I'm not sure I'm there just yet. Something great about this though is that after I finish chewing for 1-2 hours (not sure if that's excessive or too little of time), I swallow the gum and immediately my acid reflux / heartburn goes away. It's great to read and learn about Greece tradition with the Island of Chios while enjoying a few tears to chew on.
