Initial Thoughts
Tangieland is a dank offering from DC marijuana dispensary Elevated Lounge. It’s one of those strains that immediately draws my attention with its vibrant citrusy aroma. The name alone conjures up images of a tropical getaway, and I was eager to take this mental vacation. As I popped open the jar, it felt like a burst of sunshine hit my face, thanks to its tangy orange aroma.
Appearance
They’re medium-sized, dense, and absolutely coated in sparkling trichomes. The colors are a beautiful blend of deep green and bright orange, with clusters of thick, amber-colored pistils wrapping around each nug.
Status
Fresh, but starting to cure.
Aroma
It smells like someone just peeled a fresh tangerine right under your nose. There are sweet, candy-like undertones as well, giving the aroma a zesty, yet sweet and fruity punch.
Flavor
The flavor of Tangieland is just as lively and refreshing as the aroma. There’s a rush of sweet, tangy orange, like biting into a juicy tangerine or sipping on a glass of fresh-squeezed juice. The citrus flavor is sharp but balanced by an underlying sweetness that prevents it from being overwhelming.
Lineage
The Tangieland strain is a cross of Tangie and Candyland that runs balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa spectrum.
Effects
Right off the bat, I felt a rush of mental energy that cleared my head and sharpened my focus. It was like having a cup of coffee, minus the jitters. I felt energized but calm, with a renewed sense of motivation. The uplifting effects are where this strain really shines since it brought on a wave of euphoria that washed away my stress and replaced it with positivity. When I was having a rough day, smoking some Tangieland is like hitting the reset button on my mood.
Conclusion
Tangieland is like a mini vacation in strain form. Its citrus-forward flavor and uplifting effects make it an ideal choice for daytime use. It’s a fantastic strain that offers an ideal combination of uplifting, euphoric effects and mild body relaxation to keep you tuned into whatever is going on that day.
