Koffee Face by Pacific Nw Roots
Koffee × Face Off OG
Koffee Face is a hybrid cultivar developed by Pacific NW Roots, a breeder recognized for terpene-rich strains with robust growth. This strain is generally considered a balanced hybrid, reflecting a blend of indica and sativa genetics.
Appearance
Koffee Face typically produces medium-sized, conical flowers characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, featuring thick bracts and minimal small leaves. Buds often display a green base with deep purple hues, especially under cooler temperatures, and are covered in a dense layer of trichomes that give them a frosted appearance. The bud structure can resemble a coffee bean, with dense stacks along the main colas and branches.
The flowers feel substantial and sticky to the touch, revealing resinous interiors with intact trichome heads. When trimmed, the buds have clean edges. Under magnification, the bract surfaces are densely populated with capitate-stalked trichomes, which range from clear to milky as harvest approaches.
Aroma & Flavor
True to its name, Koffee Face presents a prominent roasted, coffee-like aroma layered with notes of damp earth and cocoa. Underlying this are hints of OG gas, pine needles, and citrus peel, contributing complexity. When ground, sweeter notes such as molasses and vanilla may emerge, alongside a dry cedar and leather quality.
On the palate, the flavor mirrors the aroma, with initial tastes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and damp earth. The mid-palate introduces OG-derived zest and pine resin, leading to a long, pleasantly bitter-sweet finish with a lingering peppery warmth. Vaporization can highlight sweeter notes like vanilla and caramelized sugar, while higher temperatures or combustion emphasize spicier, gassier profiles.
Effects
Koffee Face is described as providing a balanced effect profile, consistent with its hybrid classification. While specific effects are not detailed beyond general relaxation, its genetic heritage suggests a nuanced experience that may appeal to those seeking a moderate impact.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Koffee Face is noted for its complexity, with aromatic contributions from Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, Humulene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene. The dominant terpenes often contribute to its coffee, chocolate, and OG gas characteristics. Cannabinoid analysis typically shows THC content ranging from 18-25%, with total cannabinoids falling between 20-28%. CBD levels are generally below 1%, though minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBN may be present in trace amounts.
Growing
Koffee Face is cultivated for stout structure and resilient outdoor performance, often finishing within an 8-10 week flowering window indoors. It exhibits moderate stretch during early flowering, responding well to training techniques like topping and SCROG. The plant is known for dense bud set and robust lateral branching, making it suitable for various growing environments.
Growers report that phenotypes can vary, with some emphasizing coffee and cocoa notes, while others lean towards brighter fuel, pine, and citrus aromas. The strain's morphology is considered sturdy, appealing to both craft and commercial growers seeking consistency. It is noted for producing competitive yields in hydrocarbon extraction due to thick bract development and above-average trichome density.
Origins & Lineage
Koffee Face is a hybrid strain bred by Pacific NW Roots, a Washington-based breeder known for terpene-forward genetics. It is widely understood to be a cross between Pacific NW Roots' 'Koffee' line and Archive Seed Bank's 'Face Off OG'. The 'Koffee' genetics contribute deep, roasty aromatics and hardy growth, while 'Face Off OG' is known for its resin density and classic OG characteristics.
