Black Maple 22 tastes like comfort food and acts like it too. Be prepared to be wrapped in a blanket of warm, cozy, good vibes that will remind you of waking up to the smell of fresh pancakes on a crisp fall morning. This standout strain from Bloom Seed Co. is a cross between Dulce De Uva and Sherbanger and was cooked up (grown) to mouthwatering perfection by skilled hands at Wellman Farm in Massachusetts. Wellman is a family-owned operation started by legacy cultivators who have been working with the plant in the Merrimack Valley since the 1960s.
Examining this gorgeous flower reveals bursts of orange hairs and a dusting of trichomes that provide a distinct maple syrup scent with a hint of peppery funk. When you open the jar, it smells like the flower has been soaking in a tub of Grade A dark amber. Beyond the impressive bag appeal, the unique smell and taste of this Black Maple 22 truly elevate it to near-Michelin star status. This particular cut was gifted by Nikka T, and while she can be stretchy and take a little extra work to grow, the rewards of that effort speak for themselves.
Black Maple 22 wakes up the taste buds with unique, warm, toasted maple niter and melted caramel flavors that leave a lip-smacking mouthcoat and a potent high. Perfect for a sesh on the couch with your favorite music, video games or movie, this strain offers full-body relaxation without a knockout sedation. The high feels like a relaxing, warm, gentle buzz encouraging creativity, sociability and all-around good vibes. This strain is so tasty that anyone will undoubtedly come back for seconds.
