Appearance
This strain is noted for its dense, spear-shaped flowers that develop deep coloration, ranging from dark olive to plum or near-black hues, especially in cooler environments. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, with copper-to-rust pistils woven throughout. The calyxes are plump and tightly packed, contributing to a sturdy feel and a satisfying snap when broken.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by a rich berry core, evoking black cherry and goji berry compote, complemented by secondary notes of cocoa and a subtle incense-like quality. Upon closer inspection, hints of herbal spice and brighter red berry notes emerge. The flavor profile on the inhale is smooth and syrupy, featuring a dark berry essence that transitions into bittersweet chocolate and cedar undertones, with a gentle herbal bitterness on the exhale.
Effects
Black Goji Berries is often described as providing a body-forward effect profile that is well-suited for evening use. While specific effects can vary by phenotype, it is generally considered a sedating strain. Its nuanced profile makes it a connoisseur-level option for relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While exact cannabinoid percentages can vary, Black Goji Berries typically falls within the 18-26% THC range, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is characterized by compounds such as Caryophyllene, which may contribute to its spicy notes, and Linalool, associated with floral and lavender-like aromas. These terpenes contribute to the strain's distinctive aroma and flavor complexity.
