Celebrate the new year of terpenes with fizzy Champagne Patties and follow it up with a hit of Pink Zugar, as we melt our faces and minds with the greasiest living soil terps from the legends at Bacon’s Buds.
In honor of our health and wellness, we’ve chosen the tastiest of hash rosins — dubbed Bacon’s Grease — to keep our heads floating gently above the stress and seasonal depression that pours out like rain this time of year. We start our dab adventure with Pink Zugar, a tantalizing cross between Zkittlez x Straw Guava, which blends classic Z terps with a bouquet of pink floral rose terps that dazzle the palate.
Golden and greasy, this cold-cured rosin oozes with creamy Z strawberries, releasing a wave of bright sugary gas that teases the senses as a glob slips off the hot knife into our banger. First inhales are syrupy and thick with creamy pink-floral gas that delivers a warming euphoria that sends the mind floating into a cloud of blissful bakedness, relieving stress as the delicious terps take hold.
Mentally, Pink Zugar feels like frosting on a freshly baked cupcake; it sent us into the kitchen for coffee, sweets and 15 minutes of scrolling before we remembered the Champagne Patties waiting for our celebratory second hit.
Popping the lid on Champagne Patties releases a bright and fizzy rush of candied rose petals, bright orange peels and fresh coriander with a complex gassy finish that lingers with a creamy vanilla-strawberry cough slap to the senses. Simply smelling this feels like a celebration, with fingers gently shaking in anticipation while loading a glob. The living soil organic methodology truly brings out the best of terpenes, flavonoids and the plant itself in an expression of nature that heals and delivers happiness at the same time — it’s why the Leaf loves Bacon’s Grease so much!
First inhales are gassy and warming, smoothly filling the lungs and exhaling with a tingly ztrawberry-citrus-burger blast that’s delicious and captivating. Fizzy terps rush to the frontal lobes, popping the mind like a cork and overflowing the glass with giggly happiness as Champagne Patties should, delivering the buzz that only Cannabis can and the perfect way to ring in a new year!
