APPEARANCE, AROMA + TASTE
APPEARANCE:
The buds of Mandarin Cookies seemed almost washed in an creamy light green in spots and rather dull.
But, with sweater of rusty pistils creating a filter brings out an almost orangish hue at times over the less than eye-catching drab green buds.
This is a very unassuming flower that holds its form as a dense Kush/ Cookies -type should – requiring the use of grinder for the ideal experience.
It is rather surprising to open up the grinder with your mind expecting a minty OG Kush aroma and receiving a blast of California Orange.
Good stuff.
PACKAGING:
Ahhh….Grow West…the tin, the wrapper, the Boveda pack…the bud!…Quality Control, Check.
AROMA:
- Herbaceous lemon-pepper overtone
- Strong base of orange rind
- Pungent heart of citrusy Clementine orange/Tangerine-like aroma that fills the space between the earthen base notes wrought from high levels of Caryophyllene and Humalene (Caryophyllene A) and the forward facing lemon-pepper scent
TASTE:
- Baked cookie type taste at various stages of combustion
- An orange rind aftertaste /exhale
- Musk-generic hash-type flavor
- Slightest taste of licorice courtesy of the Durban F1

CONCLUSION:
Mandarin Cookies is the robust offspring of the Cookies Family’s own GSC Girl Scout Cookies (Durban Poison F1 x OG Kush -Forum Cut Pheno) X Mandarin Sunset, an equally cerebrally energizing blend of (California) Orange Skunk x Herijuana.
Brandishing an earthen and skunky outer aroma when broken up the buds exude a deeply pungent aroma of tangerines and Clementine oranges. The effect of Mandarin Cookies is equally as refreshing and holds just as many surprises with surges of motivating cerebral energy from its Durban roots and an ever increasing inclination and then high altitude leveling of mood. The notion to eat is on the heels of the initial burst of creative stimulation and enhanced focus which verges on the stoney yet never really depresses the physical form, albeit completely relaxed from its OG Kushness.
