Underlying scents include floral undertones and a subtle peppery, caryophyllene-driven base. Upon grinding, brighter citrus and sherbet notes emerge, with some phenotypes exhibiting a creamy sweetness. The flavor follows the aroma, presenting a bright candy-citrus taste on the inhale, deepening into floral spice on the exhale, with a delicate sweet-peppery finish.
