Tangie is renowned for its loud orange citrus flavour but can sometimes lack density. Thin Mint is a tasty, potent legend with rock-hard dense buds caked in frost. We searched through many Tangies to find a special male that reeked of orange peels as a mate for the Thin Mint and we found it.
An article in the March 2016 edition of High Times about the tastiest strains tested terpene concentrations. Terpenes in those tests ranged from about 2% to the highest ever tested by High Times at 4.1% (Durban Poison). Tangerine Cookies lab tests showed that our sample of Tangerine Cookies had 5.5% terpenes and 28.87% THC-A.
The resulting Tangerine Cookies was everything we had hoped for and more. The cross between the two reintroduced hybrid vigour to bring a surprisingly high yield from a cross of two mediocre yielders. Every bud from the top cola to the bottom buds were rock hard and dripped with resin. To say the buds were stunning is an understatement.
The smell is mouth-watering and LOUD. Fresh and dried buds will fill a room with the smell of orange cream soda. The taste matches the smell exactly and lingers on the taste buds. Its effect is energising, happy and extremely potent. I can’t say enough good things about this strain. Tangerine Cookies is a rock-star.
Strain FAQ
Why do Sativa-dominant strains flower slower than Indicas?
Sativa-dominant strains flower slower than their indica cousins, usually in around 60–90 days. Their sluggish pace reflects their equatorial heritage, where longer growing seasons have moulded their growth patterns.
Why are regular seeds seen as more exciting?
Regular seeds are seen as exciting because of their unpredictability. Each seed is a mystery of different phenotypes, potentially growing into plants with unique taste, scent, and many other factors.
Why are harvest times for outdoor cannabis strains seasonal?
Outdoor cannabis is obviously at the mercy of the seasons, with legal growers typically reaping their bounty once a year in the fall. This natural rhythm dictates the supply and could even sway the cost of these strains in the market. This makes the timing of the harvest a crucial factor for legal outdoor cultivators.
What gives cannabis strains their orange taste?
Limonene, present in orange rinds and other citrus fruits, gives some cannabis strains their zesty orange flavour. This and supporting terpenes like Myrcene and Pinene provide a rich citrus scent with earthiness and pine notes.
Is it all just about the High THC content and nothing else?
No! Even though THC is the most commonly known psychoactive element within the cannabis plant, even THC heavyweights don't just have strength. It is said that other cannabinoids and terpenes complement THC to create the strain's particular flavour. Due to their chemical makeup, it is well known that two strains with comparable THC amounts may have quite distinct experiences.
