Frequently Asked Questions About Terebinth
What is terebinth, and is it the same as pistachio?
No, terebinth is not pistachio, though both belong to the same plant genus. Terebinth usually refers to the Mediterranean tree and its small fruits, whose seeds are eaten or roasted for a coffee-like drink.
How do you make terebinth coffee?
Terebinth coffee is made by roasting and grinding terebinth fruits, then simmering the grounds with water. Prepare it in a small pot like Turkish coffee and let the grounds settle before serving.
Does terebinth coffee contain caffeine?
No, terebinth coffee is naturally caffeine-free because it is made from terebinth fruits rather than coffee beans. Its roasted, coffee-like flavor comes from the seeds, not from caffeine.
What does terebinth taste like?
Terebinth has an earthy, resinous flavor that becomes more pronounced when roasted. As a drink, its taste is distinct from coffee and can vary with the roast and preparation.
How do you eat terebinth nuts?
Terebinth nuts can be eaten as a snack, often after roasting, or ground to make a coffee-like drink. They may also be used in regional recipes; the roasted form has a stronger aroma.
Can you eat terebinth raw?
Yes, terebinth can be eaten raw, although roasting brings out its flavor and softens its resinous notes. If gathering wild fruits, remove debris and clean them before eating.
What is the difference between terebinth coffee and Turkish coffee?
Terebinth coffee is made from roasted terebinth fruits, while Turkish coffee is made from ground coffee beans. Terebinth coffee is caffeine-free and has a different, more resinous flavor.
How do you roast terebinth at home?
Roast terebinth in a dry pan over low heat, stirring often so the small fruits do not burn. Take them off the heat once their aroma becomes noticeable, then cool before grinding.
How should you store terebinth nuts?
Keep terebinth nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Ground terebinth loses aroma faster, so grind it shortly before making a drink when possible.
Where does terebinth grow?
Terebinth grows wild around the Mediterranean, including parts of Turkey. The tree tolerates dry conditions, and its fruits are gathered when mature, with the season varying by local climate.

What is Terebinth?
Terebinth is the small, oily fruit of the Mediterranean terebinth tree, a relative of the pistachio. In Turkey and parts of the eastern Mediterranean, the fruits are traditionally roasted and eaten as a snack or ground to make a distinctive coffee-like drink. The name can refer to the tree as well as its edible fruit.
The flavour is aromatic, gently sweet and resinous, with a crisp bite when roasted and a rich texture. Terebinth coffee is often prepared with milk and served after a meal or alongside something sweet; the roasted fruit also works in trail mixes or sprinkled over salads. It is rich in fats and provides fibre and protein, so a small handful can be satisfying. For a lighter serving, pair it with fresh fruit or use it sparingly as a topping.
