The market is flooded with citrusy weed so I thought this is just another one lemony, spicy kind . Luckily I was intrigued enough to try it. The best way I could describe it is charming and mystical. Also, I can understand why people praise the buzz. I enjoyed every session and hope to have more in the future.
If I have to recommend one strain, suitable for mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Potent, but not too strong. With both energizing and calming effect. Good for your body and mind, a long-lasting quick hitter with great aroma and taste… then I would most certainly recommend Mandarin Sunset. You’re welcome!
Indeed… the growers outdid themselves with this one! This strain is very close to perfection. Everything about it is so profound and elegant. I like to roll the joint, pour some wine and relax with happy thoughts. Always a very positive effect and slow calm down.
They mixed it soooo bloody well! Perfect Indica dominant mixture, with a fruity flavor and just the right amount of THC to give you that special feeling of calmness and serenity. You can use it solo or with someone, the effect is a bomb evey time!
I dont like Indica strains much, but this one have blown my mind.
Checked the THC on wikileaf… THC 23% and its perfect concentration for me. But in this review THC is 14 - 16%, why could there be such a difference?
Mandarin sunset is great but unfortunately hard to find in stores or online.
The aroma is out of this world. And... it hits well too!
BEAUTIFUL! You cant find better then this one, I promise!
I adore the way great orange scent travels through my house!
It has to be some kind of MAGIC, there is no other explanation for this strain.
Love its fluffy buds, they look and smell like summer sunset!
too light, felt almost nothing, did not help from my headache …
Amazing flavor! very well rounded weed
tropical vibes
Another great hybrid
