Tennessee Tangie, an Uplifting Sativa Classic with a Twist

Dive deep into the zesty, citrus world of Tennessee Tangie, an uplifting hybrid strain distributed by "Piur". This 60/40 sativa-dominant fusion has its roots in the legendary California Orange, a vintage 1980s strain of about 14%, and Skunk lineage. (likely OG Skunk, known for its ripe flavors of sour fuel and skunky citrus) This iconic pairing suggests a balanced experience, making it an intriguing option for enthusiasts looking for something familiar yet unique.

The result is a strain that promises an energetic journey, punctuated by a characteristic citrus-tangerine aroma that's hard to resist. Tennessee Tangie is an energizing strain that's great for daytime use.

Visually, the buds are a vibrant green but short of lime. They're of small to medium size and moderately wound and play host to a plethora of bright orange hairs. In line with the nomenclature, it evokes an image of a citrus Tennessee sunset. This tangie flavor and smell are a unique citrus profile with hints of lemons and tangerines.

Tennessee Tangie strikes a fine balance between heritage and innovation. The familiar lineage promises an experience that's both comforting and exhilarating. The standout fruity-fuel nose, combined with its visual appeal and balanced cannabinoid profile, makes it a strain worth exploring.

Cannabinoids

The cannabinoid breakdown of Tennessee Tangie is worth noting as it's relatively low. At 18.2% total cannabinoid content and almost no THCa this smoke won't be locking you into the couch. This is further broken down into 14.531% CBD and a more subdued 0.602% THC. Given this ratio, expect a sativa-forward uplifting feel, further cemented by its heritage.

Main Terpenes

The terpene landscape of Tennessee Tangie is a vibrant mix, comprising Myrcene, Linalool, Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Pinene. Together, these terpenes lend the strain its distinct character - an invigorating citrusy profile with hints of lemon and tangerine. As per my initial impressions, the interplay of these terpenes embodies that modern "tangie" flavor profile, with a hint of fuel and skunk.

Cost and Value

Priced at $5.71 per gram, the total for a 3.5-gram package comes to $20.00. Given the unique terpene profile, appealing aesthetics, and the cannabinoid richness, Tennessee Tangie offers value for those seeking a sativa-dominant strain that's both familiar and unique.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're a seasoned cannabis connoisseur or a curious newbie, this strain offers value that's hard to overlook and has a use case in any collection in want of a day-time sativa-dominant citrus strain. Of course this doesn't have the punching power of other Sativas with higher THCa like Sour MAC or Jet Fuel, but it's a great option for those with lower tolerance looking for a balanced experience.

On my rating scale, Tennessee Tangie is a 3 of 5. A solid wake and bake option and a must-try for those seeking a fresh twist on some classic genetics.
