Pistils range from pale peach to tangerine and curl tightly against the calyxes.

Underlying earthy and peppery undertones provide depth. When cured properly, the flavor profile features a sweet first impression, followed by citrus-kissed florals and a mild herbal finish. Vaporizing at different temperatures can emphasize fruit candy or bring forward lavender and spice notes.
