Chicza Organic Rainforest Gum is exactly what it sounds like: gum that comes from the chicle tree found in the Mayan rainforest. The chicle tree is just one of many tropical trees in the world that produces its own type of elastic rubber, which is made by boiling the sap from the tree into a thick paste. Once cooled the rubber is an organic and eco-friendly alternative to the synthetic and non-biodegradable rubber known as polyisobutylene which is used to make the inner tubes of tires used in most gum today! No more mess on pavements, tube, bus seats, shoes and carpets because one of the advantages of Chicza's composition is its biodegradability. Once disposed of, its all-natural components will become dust within weeks. (It can actually improve the texture of compost). Chicza's natural taste aims to capture the essence of fresh and wild fruits, herbs and spices, and that original gummy and chewy consistence that only natural gum can give. We Stock All Four Great flavours that are presently available (with more on the horizon) wild mint, mexican lime, spearmint & Cinnamon Ingredients: Powdered organic evaporated cane juice (37%), organic gum base (35%), Calcium carbonate), organic glucose (24%), organic agave syrup (3%), organic flavour.

Natural chewing gum
Love these! They are different yes, and the flavour disappears quite fast, but the flavour is more authentic and these don’t have a lot of food additives like other chewing gums. So these are for you if you want something more natural.

Good organic gum which helps more than just you.
Just received and tried the mint flavoured block, very nice and easy to chew. As expected the full minty taste doesn't last long but the reason you buy organic chewing gum is because it's free from aspartame and xylitol - the chemicals which keep the taste and also destroy the insides of your body without you even knowing. Yet to try the other flavours but I believe they'll be nice. The other good reason for buying this is because "Chicza contributes to the conservation of the Mayan rainforests, and at the same time improves the livelihoods of the proud Chicleros and their families".

There ok
I've just found these on Amazon and thought I would give them a try. I only eat organic food so I wanted something that wasn't full of rubbish. There not as bad as I expected they seem to be minty at first then after a few minutes the taste goes and the chewing gum goes a little hard but it's better than nothing. Just bought the mixed packs to try so I will see how I go with them

Disappointing
I so wanted to like these natural chewing gums but I didn't. The flavours are lovely but disappear too quickly to leave a nasty aftertaste in your mouth (from the ingredients used to make the gum I suppose). My mouth was not left fresh, which is the main purpose here. I'm afraid I won't be buying these again.

Different, but in a good way.
The tastes are different from regular gum, but in a good way. I'm a happier chewer.

Disappointing flavour retention.
Well packaged but the anticipation of good things to come quickly evaporated as the flavour were short lived. Would not recommend, poor value for money.

I really wanted to like this gum ...
I really wanted to like this gum ... but I didn't. For some reason it just didn't 'feel right' in my mouth after more than a few minutes.
