Upon consumption, users often experience a burst of tangy citrus flavors, followed by a smooth, sweet, and sometimes tropical aftertaste. Underlying notes can include orange, grapefruit, herbal earthiness, and subtle floral hints.

Effects

This sativa-dominant strain is primarily known for producing energetic effects. It offers a potent psychoactive experience that is often described as uplifting and invigorating.
