Hot and freshly baked out of the oven as a relatively new strain on the cannabis market, Mandarin Cookies by Island Kraft made waves and rose to popularity after being born out of a breed project by crossing Cookies (GSC) and Mandarin Sunset. While some variations of Mandarin Cookies exists, this particular variant by Island Kraft is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that has one of the most unique flavour profiles to date with its sweet citrus blends. It is as tasty as it is powerful with a THC measurement that reaches as high as 24%, a potency that delivers an amazing uplifting high filled with energy and euphoria.

Appearance & Aroma

While Mandarin Cookies by Island Kraft does have the typical kush-like, pungent aromas of cannabis, it also carries an array of scents and beautiful colours that distinguishes it from other strains. Visually, it is just as striking with bright yellow and deep amber orange hairs stranded throughout olive green nugs. To top it all off, it has a nice coating of white crystalline trichomes. Like its name suggests, there are bright, tangy notes of citrus that are reminiscent of fresh mandarins. Upon exhaling its smoke, one can further taste the citrus with something more like sour tangerines mixed with hints of diesel. These bright aromas are balanced by a layer of sweet nuts and herbs. Anyone who enjoys this orangey citrus flavour would also enjoy the Orange Jelly Bombs by Twisted Extracts–even sweeter and just as potent!
