Item Description

This gift basket features the bestselling items from New York favorite MastihashopNY, featuring mastiha items from the island of Chios.  Basket includes a line of skin care products, hair mask, an array of mastiha food products including pasteli, figs, jams, mastiha powder, and a rare collection of reproduced vintage sketches from the island of Chios.  This basket is a mastiha lovers dream! 
 
Owners of the first ever U.S. mastihashop, sisters Artemis and Kalliopi Kohas, were born to Greek immigrant parents in Allentown, PA. The Kohas sisters spent years promoting mastiha before opening mastihashop in the U.S. Their collaboration with Mediterra S.A., the daughter company of the Chios Mastiha Growers Association and the entity that created the “mastihashops”, began in 2004 with discussions of a store in New York.  In 2006, the Kohas sisters became partners in the mastihashop in Mykonos and in December 2007 were ecstatic to open the doors to the very first U.S. mastihashop located in Manhattan. For Kalliopi and Artemis, teaching people about mastiha and opening mastihashop is their way of continuing their ancestral legacy and their father’s American Dream.
