Papaya Juice Live Rosin

from Northwest OilTech

A punchy nose that demands your attention, followed by a refreshing finish.

This sweet and stinky symphony from the teams at Northwest SoilTech, Northwest OilTech, and Moonwalk is an adventure of its own. Its namesake teases a tale of fruity terps, but this funky find tackles your senses with much more — starting with the soft, succulent texture that looks like sorbet on a hot day.

Papaya Juice is an enticing entanglement of Papaya x GMO, bred by Oni Seed Co and selected by Washers Only. Nurtured into a vibrant version of this variety, the cultivation crew at Northwest SoilTech has amplified every last note, enveloping the consumer in a concierto of flavor.   

Lifting the lid of the art-adorned jar (compliments of @beyondgrasp) offers a journey from the typical Papaya push. A robust GMO-like diesel is splashed over stone fruit for a fine balance. The inhale coats every corner of the mouth, stirring the sweet stone fruit slurry in bold, unexpected contrast to the savory first impression. Like the sip of a cold smoothie, the cool juiciness careens down the throat and into the chest, where soothing silkiness continues long after the last exhale.

Some tokers take to funkier finds. Some sip on sweeter slabs. But Papaya Juice brings the best of both worlds, with a punchy nose that demands your attention, followed by a refreshing finish.
