Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Fat Banana is characterized by a prominent tropical sweetness, reminiscent of ripe bananas, layered with citrus notes.

The flavor follows suit, offering a sweet, creamy taste of banana custard, complemented by hints of citrus, spice, and a pungent earthiness.

This combination makes it effective for unwinding and potentially alleviating fatigue.

While CBD content is minimal, the terpene profile, including myrcene and limonene, is thought to contribute to its distinct aroma and effects.
