The Mastic Tree, scientifically known as *Pistacia lentiscus*, is a small evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows to about 3 to 4 meters in height and features glossy, dark green leaves. The tree is well-known for its aromatic resin, called mastic, which has been used for centuries in cooking, medicine, and cosmetics. Mastic resin is harvested by making incisions in the tree's bark, allowing the sap to ooze out and harden into small, amber-colored droplets. This unique resin is particularly associated with the Greek island of Chios, where it is cultivated and celebrated for its culinary and therapeutic properties.
