LA Tar Mints

Hytiva's Review on LA Tar Mints

While there's not a lot of info regarding the lineage of LA Tar Mints, The "Mints" half points toward the cool, herbal Kush Mints family, and "Tar" fits the dark, heavy profile the terpenes predict, and "LA" framing point at a heavy, gassy, OG-leaning side to go with it. Treat the lineage as informed by the name rather than confirmed. It's an indica-leaning hybrid with a robust terpene profile and potent THC content.

The spade-shaped buds of LA Tar Mints are several shades of forest green coated with a moderate layer of trichomes and dull orange pistils woven throughout the buds. The aroma leans cool and herbal in the Mints tradition, with an earthy, musky heaviness underneath from the dominant terpene, and a citrus edge keeping it from going totally flat. That translation to the palate follows the same arc, minty and green on the inhale, earthy and musky on the exhale.

Reviewers who gravitate to strains built like this describe deep relaxation, heavy limbs, and sleep not far behind, which makes it one for experienced consumers and late nights rather than daytime. Due to it's myrcene-heavy terpene profile and high-THC content, it's a strain recommended to wind all the way down or ease into rest, though how hard it hits depends on the person. The terpene profile is myrcene-dominant — earthy, musky beta-myrcene, the most common cannabis terpene and a well-known couch-lock contributor, leads the way, with limonene running nearly even for a citrus lift and a touch of peppery beta-caryophyllene adding body calm. Myrcene is also often cited for helping cannabinoids absorb, which, paired with a THC figure this high, at 32%, it's worth keeping in mind.
