The Chios story

Tears of a tree that weeps only on one island

Mastic trees grow across the Mediterranean, but only on southern Chios do they 'cry' the resin. Nobody fully knows why.

    Every summer the bark is scored and the tree weeps clear 'tears' onto white clay. Sun-dried, hand-cleaned, PDO-protected.

    The people

    Chians chew mastic for the stomach and the breath, bake it into bread and stir it into spoon sweets. This is their tea.

    The ritual

    Steep covered, breathe in the resin before the first sip, and have it after dinner — the island way.

Why it works

Antiquity's stomach remedy, in a modern cup

Chios mastic has been used since Hippocrates for the stomach and the breath, and modern research has focused on its role in gut and oral health. Whole chamomile brings apigenin and its own digestive calm; mahlepi adds aroma and a gentle warmth.*

It is the only mastic tea we know of made with whole organic flowers rather than flavouring — and it is our most-gifted product for a reason.

How to brew

Two ways to brew. One second steep.

Whole leaves and flowers give up their flavour slowly, so the same spoonful brews twice.

Hot

  1. 1 tsp (a good pinch) per 8 oz cup
  2. Water just off the boil (212°F)
  3. Cover and steep 5–7 minutes
  4. Strain, sip — then steep the same leaves again

Cold brew

  1. 4–6 tsp per quart of room-temperature water
  2. Steep 4–6 hours (or overnight in the fridge)
  3. Strain and pour over ice
  4. Optional: add honey or a lemon slice

Breathe first. Cup the mug and inhale before drinking — the mastic aroma is half the experience. Mahlepi loves a spoon of honey.

Most herbal tea is what's left after the good leaves are sold. Ours is the good leaves.

This blended tea is perfect on a summer afternoon; it transports you back to the island of Chios in a sip. It's refreshing and invigorating yet you get a feeling of calmness and tranquility with every sip. I also enjoy it with a teaspoon of the wildflower Ikarian honey that you can also buy on this site. It's truly a cup of love every time❣️

All of the teas here

All of the teas here are fantastic - but this one is other-worldly. It's so good that I talk to it, saying things like "how are you so fantastic" or "where have you been my whole life". Maybe this is weird, but try this tea and you'll know what I mean

I am absolutely madly in

I am absolutely madly in love with this tea; it's perfect with a piece of toasted tsoureki and Chios orange marmalade....cannot say enough about this combination of flavors, peaceful and tranquil mood from the aroma of this tea.
Will definitely, without any hesitation, buy lots more. Only wish you had the option to buy a full pound; at the rate I'm drinking this tea, it will be empty before I know it........

Excellent tea! This tea has

Excellent tea! This tea has a unique flavor and is a great alternative if you are looking for something different. I highly recommend.

I tried to create a healthy tsoureki version. I hope I made it. Mastiha (mastic) does not only have a unique woody pine/resinous flavor but it is also the best natural medicine for your stomach.

This blend is unique! Mastic and mountain tea!

This taste is hands down the best!

Hi Frank! I am so happy to hear that. Mastiha is used as a supplement actually and it is very hard to find it in the USA. I import these mastic tears from Chios, mastiha's hometown and they are the best. Thank you for choosing this blend! Καλό Πάσχα!

Aw mastic! It brought me back to Greece!

I can't say enough for this masterpiece! I visited Chios 5 years ago where mastic - a real medicine that tastes like cedar and pine - is like a goddess there. The pouch had a generous amount of Greek mountain tea and chamomile (flowers!), and a separate small pouch with whole mastic tears (which I can say are really pricy if you try to find them elsewhere). I really enjoyed this blend and I hope it's not only seasonal!!!

Agatha, I love that! This place is exactly where I import my mastic tears from -Chios! I hope you visit Greece again soon. And when you do, send me a message so I can tell you exactly what to do, where to go/eat/swim etc. Have a great day and Καλό Πάσχα (=Happy Easter)!

Good to know

Questions we get most

Mastic is the dried resin of Pistacia lentiscus var. chia, which produces it only on the southern part of Chios. Ours is genuine PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) Chios mastic, ground fine so it infuses into the tea.

Hot: 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of just-boiled water, steeped 5–7 minutes. Iced: 4–6 teaspoons per quart of room-temperature water, steeped 4–6 hours. The leaves are generous, so you can re-steep them for a second batch.

Fresh and resinous from the mastic, honey-sweet from the whole chamomile, with mahlepi's almond-vanilla note — like the aroma of Greek Easter bread in a cup. Musky, woody and soft.

No — it's naturally caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it any time, including the evening.

Yes. We never grind, crush or bag our herbs. You see whole leaves, flowers and roots in the bag — and that's why each spoonful steeps twice.

Keep it in a cool, dark, dry place, sealed tight and away from sunlight and moisture. Dried herbs don't expire — they just slowly lose a little aroma and potency over time, so they're best enjoyed within about two years for peak flavor.

Our teas are natural, certified-organic herbs with nothing added. But pregnancy and breastfeeding are times to be a little extra careful — some herbs aren't recommended then, and everyone's situation is different. We always recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before adding a new herbal tea to your routine.

From the founder

Yia mas — to your health.

I grew up on Ikaria, where herbs were not a wellness trend — they were what my grandmother picked on the hillside, dried on the roof and brewed every evening for whoever walked through the door.

Real leaves and roots, never the broken dust sealed into a bag.

Every plant we sell is harvested at peak potency, hand-cut, air-dried the traditional way and hand-packed. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
