Maui Waui - Sweet Leaf Inc.
Appearance
This sample was a big chunky teardrop-shaped nug that was filled with a variety of dark tones, including purples, dark greens, and browns. When broken open, it was lighter and shower off generous trichome coverage. The harvest was well-timed, but there were some tiny seeds spotted throughout the sample after it was ground.
Aroma
Pine, citrus, and soil were the dominant notes, with a ‘fresh’ vegetal scent in the background. Fairly pungent and pleasurable for a Maui, which isn’t really known for its scent.
Flavor
Barely sweet, mostly floral, but with a piney/earthy finish — reminiscent of the taste without the citrus and the pungency. It was a little bit harsh on the throat and expansive as well, but the light gray ash spoke to a solid flush.
Effect
(We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Energy and motivation were prevalent after a strong cerebral start. Body relaxation, mild pain relief, appetite stimulation, and mood elevation completed the package.
Overall
Sometimes a B+ strain is what the day calls for — this is one of those above-average but totally manageable strains that almost everyone would enjoy. A smooth blend of Sativa and Indica traits and effects produced an experience perfect for a semi-productive afternoon or evening. Though the smell/taste aren’t anything amazing, those areas were better than many Mauis. Check this one out if you like a classic strain that won’t knock you off-kilter in either direction.
