The smart package design and the prime magic ingredient of the new ” Mastiha Shop ” products – just great for an original gift – at 145 Orchard Street in New York are a must-try, must-see.
Mastic (or Mastiha) is a gum-like substance that comes from Mastic trees growing on the island of Chios in Greece.
Mastic boasts legendary health benefits, amongst others it is soothing for intestinal irritations, has healing cosmetic and naturally soft antiseptic properties. It also adds a unique new flavour – clean and invigorating – to cooked food and candies.
The beautifully designed packages of shampoos, chewing gums, toothpaste, lotions and potions as well as actual nuggets of Mastic gum are all on show.
May become a worldwide retailing phenomenon, the shops are most enjoyable places to visit – try it !
