Experience a taste of Heavenly Buds rosin that tastes so sweet it could be an angel’s treat, with beautiful fruity terps that celebrate the end of a bountiful Northwest summer.
From Rainier cherries to the locally bred and grown Rockit Apples, Washington is known for its produce and brilliant fruits that are desired around the world. Despite this agricultural bounty, nine out of 10 Americans don’t eat enough fruit or vegetables, according to the CDC, which could explain why our national health levels continue to decline. While dabbing our fruity hash rosin doesn’t count towards our daily fruit intake, the ensuing munchies give us an opportunity to pick healthy snacks, which always feel better when paired with a terpy buzz.
The humble apple became the official Washington state fruit in 1989, while a historical love for apple pastries was shared by both George Washington, whose wife, Martha, had a celebrated recipe with roots in the 1600s (more information can be found at mountvernon.org), and England’s King Richard II, whose banger 1397 feast featured a version that used ale and saffron to flavor the dough. The Romans get the OG credit for inventing the tart treat, but we think the real props go to the Heavenly Buds team for growing and processing the Apple Fritter strain into beautiful golden rosin.
Fresh green apples ooze from a lightly oily, soft and fluffy rosin that’s a joy to load onto a dab tool. Loading a glob of Apple Fritter releases a doughy, gassy funk that intensifies when heated up, baking into a full apple pastry-like hit that simultaneously satisfies the palate and mind with a rush of delicious, smooth vapor. Effects quickly fog the frontal lobes, slowing time and amplifying feelings of creativity and hunger, sending us mentally into the kitchen for a sweet treat as we turn to our second flavor of top-shelf rosin.
The Strawberry Candy is ripe and bright, with creamy, sugary notes of fresh strawberry jam and a gassy, tangy finish that had us ready to spread this hashy preserve on toast. First inhales send a smooth, syrupy-thick vapor full of melting berries and hashy funk that fills the mind and body with a happy, skipping-in-the-sun buzz. The uplifting euphoria fuels the last summer adventures and chases away the rainy blues as the weather starts to change and the low clouds return to Seattle’s version of stoner heaven.
