Pairings: Kicked Back & Caffeinated

Kush Mints Flower by Curio Wellness paired with Red Rooster Coffee.

The Tannins

Red Rooster Coffee Organic 4&20 French Roast 

These organic/fair trade beans are roasted in a small town in Floyd, Virginia – and one so in even smaller batches. Some tasting notes of this blend are of chocolate and spices, that left remnants of mintiness in my mouth. Balanced flavor would be the best way to describe a cup of this coffee. If you like intense coffee flavor with a little floral and minty note, this is the coffee for you.

The Terpenes

Kush Mints Flower by Curio Exclusive

Bubba Kush and Animal Mints bring us this illustrious cross, being done justice by the team at Curio Wellness. This is a well-balanced hybrid strain, with strong notes of sweet and skunky flavors blending with mints on the nose. The minty flavor shines through on the exhale, giving a mouthfeel similar to eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.

39.84% Total Cannabinoids | 2.43% Total Terpenes

The Pairing

At nearly 40% THC, a cup of coffee proved to be the perfect thing to pair with this strain. Personally, I found the little kick of energy from a cup of coffee put me in the perfect mental state to enjoy the mixed relaxation and calming effects of the flower. The aromas of both the coffee and flower truly came together in a symphony of smells.
