Yo I received my pack today! First one I tried was great, texture was awesome and overall great chewing experience. Loved it! Second one however just kinda melted right away and ended up sticking to my teeth. Very unpleasant. Had to resort to chewing steak to get it all off 😆nostr:npub19lhkt6w7q4nqcxllztrs8kg3x4asvh4fcahr246yp9rfpashj87qz5qdzy
My pack arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to trying it out. 🤞🏻
Awesome, curious to get your take! If I’ll try a third one tomorrow and see where that one lands… Maybe Apollo is a little like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re gonna get 😏
First piece is still holding up, 10 minutes in. Subtle flavor. If they’re all like this, I dig it.
I think they’re just not super consistent. Tried a few at once and chose two harder ones, 10/10
Awesome, yeah definitely have to pick the hardest ones from the case. Trust me… You do not want a soft one glued to your teeth haha 🦷
I kept my piece going for nearly an hour. Jaw is feeling it now. lol
Truly is a workout! My jaw is sore 🥴
That means you’re getting a good exercise. Gotta keep that jaw strong
Hmmm gotcha, maybe each chunk is a different consistency. This first one was very soft
Yeah, that’s been my experience so far. Definitely try another one and see where that takes you… maybe temperature has something to do with it? Are we meant to keep them in the fridge?!
I almost thought you nailed it but no, i think they alm end up mouth temp as you chew 🤣
Damn, that reality just hit me hard 🤣 nostr:npub19lhkt6w7q4nqcxllztrs8kg3x4asvh4fcahr246yp9rfpashj87qz5qdzy tell us what to do!
You can store your pack in the refrigerator to harden up those softer pieces. That should help the process! Cheers 🚀
I’ve noticed this with mastic gum in the past. The best pieces shatter entirely when you first chew, eventually come together into a tough gum. Some pieces were soft and sticky and unchewable. Is there no way to sort these out (do they dry and improve with age)?
Combining those hard pieces with others that may be softer will ultimately produce an overall chew that works.
Refrigeration can also help! Mastic left in higher temps for longer time will soften. Because it is natural, it will be more sap-like if left in warmer temps.
Does that help? Let us know if we can provide more info 👍.
That first one is what i did and had great success ✨
How many grams of mastic are in each tin?
We pack 48-50 grams of mastic per tin. This will fluctuate if there are any extra large pieces in the tin that weigh a bit more.
Is your mastic differentiated somehow than other mastic? Currently it’s $41/100g for straight from Greece large mastic “tears” on Amazon. You do have a cool tin, but $/gram needs work if it’s basically the same material
from* other
We source from the same area, however you will notice on the Amazon comments that the packaging is faulty and thus, the product is not as fresh. We have done extensive market research. Our team has been to Greece several times and know that there is no better grade in the supply chain. Quality and freshness are of paramount importance to us.
On the cost side, we have priced aggressively to sell. So far we have had more “raise your prices feedback” than vice versa!
The great thing- we are 21% off in Bitcoin 😎. We believe we are more than competitive in terms of price with other brands! ⚡️🤙
Thanks nostr:npub19lhkt6w7q4nqcxllztrs8kg3x4asvh4fcahr246yp9rfpashj87qz5qdzy !! I guess we were onto something 🤣
