Sweet and bold on the nose, a pure West Coast dessert profile. The body develops more complex notes depending on the batch: vanilla, ripe yellow fruit, candied berries and sometimes caramel. The finish rises on a clean, gaseous base, almost like terpene essence, which prevents the sweetness from tiring the palate during the session.

Once the bag is opened, the exotic Californian scent hits the nose without asking permission. Sweets, vanilla, with a gassy undertone – exactly the signature that has made the reputation of the entire Cookies dynasty. Rub a mini bud between your fingers and the aroma fills the room, even though it weighs barely a gram. The size really belies the aromatic potency.

Compact, short bud, that’s what defines the minibud format: modest size, maximum density. Medium to dark green in colour, streaked with bright orange pistils, all covered in a dense layer of trichomes that catch the light. Firm to the touch, with no unwanted moisture; sugar and resin visible everywhere, on the sugar leaves as well as the calyxes. Just as photogenic as its big sisters, just on a different scale.
