Culta is stepping up its already top-shelf game with its East West live rosin line, which is enticingly exemplified by the Papaya Juice Cold Cure Live Rosin the Leaf got for this Concentrate of the Month.
The Papaya Juice genetics — exquisitely preserved by the Culta solventless team — are a cross between Papaya and GMO. Our state has been yearning for an increasing selection of live rosin solventless dabs, and Culta is here with its Papaya Juice rosin to absolutely knock the ball out of the park.
The creamy, peak sorbet-like texture is bursting with aromatic notes. My nose is overwhelmingly hit with candied fruits, but as the initial jar pop settles, a deeper, spicier garlic and fuel aroma wafts up and accentuates the fruit. Tropical tree fruits dipped in herbal tincture come immediately to mind in ways that only Cannabis concentrates can really make exciting.
The flavor profile is almost a complete flip-flop. The banger hits put forward strong GMO gas notes with an herbal mouthfeel, followed by hints of fruitiness in the background of the profile.
The mouthfeel of this live rosin is super, a testament to the overall quality craftsmanship that goes into producing top-shelf solventless dabs. For the connoisseurs in Maryland, the Culta team has captured, preserved and made an incredible medley of live rosins that are represented here in the Papaya Juice.
Papaya Juice — with its tropical fruit, heavy, candied qualities that reflect strong inklings of its GMO heritage — is an absolute must-dab for midsummer. You can find this rosin on the Culta website, and while you’re there, check out some of the best its product lines have to offer.
