What is Mastic Turkish Coffee?
Mastic Turkish coffee is finely ground coffee brewed with a little mastic resin, traditionally in a small pot. The resin lends it a distinctive, fragrant, slightly piney note, while the coffee remains rich and its grounds settle at the bottom of the cup.
In Turkey, it is served in a small cup, often with a glass of water, after a meal or when welcoming guests. You can have it unsweetened or ask for sugar to be added during brewing. Its nutritional character depends largely on added sugar; without it, the drink is very low in calories. Water makes a simple accompaniment, while a small sweet is also customary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mastic Turkish Coffee
What does mastic add to Mastic Turkish Coffee?
Mastic adds a distinctive resinous, gently pine-like aroma to Mastic Turkish Coffee, complementing the roasted coffee. It changes the flavor, not the traditional preparation: the coffee is still brewed slowly and served with its grounds.
How do you make Mastic Turkish Coffee in a cezve?
Mix finely ground coffee, cold water and a little finely crushed mastic in a cezve, then heat it slowly without stirring. Spoon off the foam before it boils over and pour the coffee into small cups.
Can you use mastic tears to make Mastic Turkish Coffee?
Yes, food-grade mastic tears can be crushed and used in Mastic Turkish Coffee. Crush them finely so they disperse more evenly; their sticky texture can make them difficult to grind unless chilled first.
Why does Mastic Turkish Coffee taste piney?
Mastic resin naturally has a fresh, resinous aroma that some people describe as pine-like. That flavor is characteristic of Mastic Turkish Coffee, rather than a sign that the coffee has gone off.
Does Mastic Turkish Coffee need sugar?
No, sugar is optional in Mastic Turkish Coffee. The mastic gives the drink its own aromatic flavor, so you can brew it unsweetened or add sugar to the cezve to suit your taste.
What should you serve with Mastic Turkish Coffee?
Serve Mastic Turkish Coffee in a small cup with a glass of water, which is a customary pairing. Turkish delight or a small piece of chocolate also works well with its aromatic, slightly bitter flavor.
Can you make iced Mastic Turkish Coffee?
Yes, but let freshly brewed Mastic Turkish Coffee cool first, since pouring hot coffee directly over ice can make it watery. Its fine grounds settle, so pour carefully and leave the sediment behind.
Does Mastic Turkish Coffee contain caffeine?
Yes, Mastic Turkish Coffee contains caffeine from the coffee; mastic does not make it caffeine-free. The amount varies with the coffee and serving, so people sensitive to caffeine may prefer a smaller cup.
Can you drink Mastic Turkish Coffee while pregnant?
Mastic Turkish Coffee contains caffeine, so include it in your total daily caffeine intake during pregnancy. Ask your healthcare professional what limit is appropriate for you, especially if you drink other caffeinated beverages.
How should you store leftover Mastic Turkish Coffee?
Mastic Turkish Coffee is best made fresh and drunk soon after brewing. As it sits, the grounds settle and its foam and aroma fade; leftover coffee is not ideal for storing or reheating.
