Take a hit from the top shelf of the high seas with Dungeness Dank’s Mandarin Cookies.
Sativas are back on the menu in Washington, as demand for energetic and productive flower surges during the dark winter months. We all struggle with motivation as the sun disappears, which is why taking vitamin D supplements and smoking lots of Dungeness Dank is the cure for Seasonal Affective Disorder. While it won’t fix the Seattle freeze, lighting up a bowl of chatty sativa flower could open the door to a conversation, and from there the options are as limitless as the mighty Pacific Ocean.
A breath of fresh citrus gas awaits inside a jar of Mandarin Cookies, rushing into the senses like a burst of sunlight. First notes are all orange fizz, with creamy, tangy undertones that melt into a sharp cookies funk, smacking the palate with hints of permanent marker, skunky cookies, and a piney, zingy finish. Simply delicious and complex, the buds are lime green and super frosty, with a thick, sticky density that promises a slow-burning, heady smoke.
Breaking open a bud hits the gas pedal, releasing zings of citrus cooks as fingers are coated in resin. First tokes are sweet, sharp and all mandarin, with a smooth exhale and a funky cookies finish that coats the palate with repeat hits. Effects roll into the mind like a fog over the Puget Sound, bringing a strong chance of giggles and forgetful energy. This is a heavy-duty PNW sativa, meaning buckle up for heavy effects to accompany an energy befitting of the high seas.
Getting through a winter in the PNW is no joke, which is why we appreciate the attention to heavy-hitting strains like Mandarin Cookies. Dungeness Dank is a craft-oriented producer that focuses on unique, pesticide-free strains with DOH-certified practices and cares for the plant that translates into superbly tasty flowers.
