Acai Berry Mint

Hytiva's Review on Acai Berry Mint

Acai Berry Mint comes descends from the Acai Mints line, a cross of the hybrids Acai Gelato and Kush Mints #11 and originally bred by Tiki Madman. This strain was originally bred to combine two polar opposite strain characteristics into a single strain. Acai Gelato carries the sweet, berry-heavy dessert side of the Gelato family, and Kush Mints #11 (a cut with Seed Junky roots) brings the cool, earthy mint backbone the "Mints" strains are known for. What you end up with is a fairly even hybrid that pulls from both parents, and it built its name, as well as its reputation, the slow way, on word of mouth and steady reviews. Those familiar and who have personally tried anything from the Mints family will immediately recognize where this strain comes from.

Acai Berry Mint's buds resemble its parent strains but carries it's own unique appearance with tightly packed buds and a distinctly unique bud structure that can be attributed to it's Kush Mints lineage. Woven between the bud's structure, amber pistils contrast the purple undertones that envelop Acai Berry Mint's buds that fans of strains like GSC usually seek. Trichome coverage is moderate on the surface, but when broken apart, there's a hidden layer of resinous trichomes that can make it difficult to grind when using a grinder. It's recommended to allow some of the moisture content to dissipate prior to using a grinder.

Reviewers who've tried this one tend to describe it in two stages: a bright, up-front head change that gradually settles into something calmer and heavier, which is why a lot of people keep prefer to use this strain later in the day. Users have described reaching for it to unwind after a long day, take the edge off a stressful afternoon, or ease into a relaxed evening, though that's going to vary from person to person. The terpene profile leans on limonene for its citrus lift, backed by peppery beta-caryophyllene and a thread of piney alpha-pinene, so it reads sweet and cool at the start and turns earthy and mellow on the way out. As for cannabinoid content, the batch we reviewed came back at 22.635% THC, which lands it in potent but manageable territory for most seasoned smokers.
