Lenia was born into the scent of Mastiha. Raised in the sun-drenched groves of southern Chios, she grew up surrounded by trees that carry stories older than memory — stories whispered through generations, etched in the soil, and passed down like heirlooms. For Lenia, the Mastiha tree is more than a symbol of the island. It is home, heritage, and a quiet form of wisdom.
As time went on, Lenia watched the rhythms of the land shift. Ancient practices risked fading away. The people who had protected this ecosystem for centuries — the farmers, the artisans, the families — faced growing uncertainty. What began as a personal calling soon became a mission: to safeguard the Mastiha trees, to empower those who care for them, and to share their story with the world. This is how Mastiha Roots was born — not as a business plan, but as a living alliance between nature, culture, and those who believe in both.
A Vision That Grows With You
Lenia’s dream was never just to preserve the past. It was to build a future where businesses, communities, and ecosystems thrive together. Today, she welcomes companies into this vision — not as sponsors, but as partners. Whether through tree adoption, meaningful gifting, or contributions to the Legacy Fund, every collaboration is a step toward something bigger: a future rooted in care, continuity, and conscious action.

A Note from Lenia
“ I created Mastiha Roots to protect a story — a story written in the bark of these trees and in the hands of the people who tend them. My hope is that by opening this story to others, we give it the future it deserves.”
– Lenia, Founder of Mastiha Roots
