Mastic Turkish coffee is what you order in Istanbul when plain Turkish coffee starts to feel ordinary. Selamlique — the premium Istanbul coffee house founded in 2009 and stocked at Harrods — blends its 100% Arabica Turkish coffee with 2.3% real mastic, the pine-scented resin tapped from mastic trees on the Aegean island of Chios. The result reads lighter and rounder than classic Turkish coffee: the same thick body and foam, but with a cool, faintly sweet resin note that lingers after the sip. Turks call it damla sakızlı Türk kahvesi, and it has been a hammam-and-dessert-shop flavor for generations.
The beans are Brazilian Rio Minas Arabica, sun-dried, medium roasted, then stone-ground to the ultra-fine powder Turkish coffee demands — fine enough to suspend in the cup and build proper foam in a cezve. Selamlique roasts and packs everything at its own İzmir facility under ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 systems, with no additives beyond the mastic itself. Caffeine sits at a moderate 1.2%.
Brewing is the standard Turkish method: one heaped teaspoon (about 5–6 g) per demitasse cup of cold water in a cezve, sugar added before heating if you take it sweet, brought up slowly until the foam rises — never boiled hard. The 125 g tin makes roughly 20–25 cups. Selamlique pairs this flavor with milk-based desserts; it is especially good next to sütlaç, muhallebi, or a square of plain Turkish delight.
