The mastic tree (Pistacialentiscusvar. Chia) is an evergreen shrub that grows up to
2-3 meters high. Its lifespan is more than 100 years. Before the process of
extracting the liqueur begins, the weeds, leaves, and soil are removed from the
ground. Then comes the "asprochomatisma," or the covering of cleaned soil with
white, fine sieve soil, which is collected from nearby areas and is then ready to
receive the "mastic tears." The scratching of the tree (gr. "Kentima") is a special
process that has remained virtually unchanged for centuries. A sharp tool called
"Kentitiri" is used. It looks like a curved pickaxe. The resin of the tree slowly
drips onto the sand and hardens there. The collection must be completed before the
first rains begin. The "tears" are cleaned and then processed into a wonderful
liqueur.
