Mastic gum came across my radar a couple years ago. I was always interested in it but never could justify the price of it. I really have no use for it other than extended chewing to keep my teeth clean and help with fidgeting while at work. as of a week into chewing this, I can honestly say I am very impressed with the product.Pros:-You can pretty much chew this indefinitely. You can take it out to eat or to take a break and throw the piece back in after and it was like you never left.-Really works the mastication muscles. I get that's why many buy this, and trust me it works. My jaw was sore (in a good way) after trying this for the first few hours.-The flavor has yet to go away while chewing.-It is a great alternative to other forms of chewing gum with questionable ingredients.Cons:-The gum is coated with an odd powdery substance that some say is not supposed to be there. I personally don't have any experience with this and cannot confirm it, but I guess it is a sign of older, not as fresh, mastic gum.- I drink a lot of water. ice water coming in contact with this gum in your mouth will turn it into a rock, and it will break like candy in your mouth. It will eventually return to the nice chewing form, but it can be annoying. I know this is not anything out of the ordinary for this gum, but I am new to it, and it was a less than delightful surprise.-Flavor: I personally enjoy it. It is a very natural, almost pine like flavor. It is not overpowering, but it is different. Some people will find the flavor utterly disgusting. If you are worried about not liking the flavor, I would suggest trying a naturally flavored option.-Price: It is nowhere near as cheap as the gum you would purchase at a gas station. It does last exponentially longer, but you will have to decide whether the price is worth it for you.Overall, I would say if you are looking to try Mastic gum for the first time, this is a great option. I will definitely be buying more.

Bought this because apparently modern life wasn’t complicated enough, so now I’m chewing little chunks of tree resin from Greece.The tears are clean, hard, and exactly what I expected. Toss one in your mouth and for the first minute it feels like you accidentally grabbed a pebble. Then it softens up and turns into a surprisingly satisfying gum.The flavor is very piney and herbal, which I actually like, although it definitely has a “Mediterranean forest floor” vibe at first.No artificial sweeteners, no neon wrapper, no cartoon mascot. Just ancient tree sap sitting there judging every piece of regular gum you’ve ever chewed.Five stars. I feel 3% healthier and 40% more Byzantine.

I love this gum. I love how there are no added ingredients, so no chemicals, gut irritants or microplastics. I chewed the same piece for over a week and it never broke down or got sticky(I read that the sap is naturally antibacterial so you can do this for a bit. I went longer because I set it in chlorine dioxide(water sanitation and not like regular chlorine that’s bad), mixed with water for a minute every other day). I always let the pieces warm up a bit in my mouth to soften before I start to chew. The gum has never been sticky for me but I gave some to a friend and it kept sticking to their teeth(not falling apart though). They also said it left a film. After about five minutes of chewing and using their tongue or finger to unstick it, the sticking stopped. Our theory is that it was sticking to a film of some sort(from food or bacteria) and that the gum quit sticking because it cleaned the teeth. I love the workout my jaw gets. At first it was sore so I chewed it for less time and now I can chew longer. For storage I put some pieces in an amber glass jar with silica packets and I carry that with me. I put the majority in another amber glass with silica packets and put it in a cool dark place. I’m hoping this will keep out more moisture and increase the “life” span since they won’t keep getting exposed every time I open the container. I will update this review if the pieces don’t last well and start to get weird from moisture over time, even with my extreme storage methods.
