Initial Thoughts

With 4/20 peeking around the corner, I’m thrilled to scoop into a jar of this exceptionally gorgeous Black Cherry Gelato from the friendly folks at Washington DC marijuana dispensary, Takoma Wellness Center. Cultivated by Alt Sol, this strain seems like a decadent dessert plucked from a gelato shop run by cherry-obsessed pastry chefs. I’m anticipating a flavor as rich as black cherry compote and a balanced high that’s as soothing as a post-dessert nap. Can't wait to see if this stunning flower delivers the potency I'm expecting, or if it's just eye candy with a delectable nose. 🍒🤩

Appearance

The buds are like bite-sized morsels of a forest-grown dessert, dusted with sugary frost. Grape-shaped nugs boast a deep green hue with minty hints, laced with thin orange hairs that peek out like candied zest. A thick layer of tantalizing trichomes sparkles like caramelized sugar, making them look almost too tasty to smoke.

Status

Fresh.

Aroma

The scent immediately wafted out of the pack like a black cherry sundae served by a skunk with a side hustle in dessert catering. It’s sweet and fruity at first, with dark berries and ripe cherries taking the lead, but a pungent, herbal dankness sneaks in, like a dollop of spiced cream on a tart. The aroma evolves from sugary cherry sweetness to a piney, earthy depth, as if someone baked a berry pie in a cedar oven. It’s a nose-tickling invitation to indulge.

Flavor

Smoking Black Cherry Gelato is like savoring a spoonful of black cherry gelato with a twist of funky flair. The inhale delivers a sweet, berry-heavy burst, with cherries and a hint of apricot swirling together like a fruit sorbet. On the exhale, a bold, gassy note emerges, layered with dark berry richness and a piney finish, like a cherry tart drizzled with espresso. Each puff is a creamy, dessert-like treat that leaves your taste buds begging for another bite.

Lineage

Black Cherry Gelato is a cross of Acai and Black Cherry Funk, blending two flavorful ingredients into a slightly indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa). Acai brings its sweet, berry-packed profile and smooth effects, while Black Cherry Funk adds a tart, funky depth with a relaxing finish. The result is a flower that marries the creamy sweetness of gelato with the bold juiciness of black cherries, like a dessert you’d find in a cosmic patisserie. The original breeder remains unknown, like the secret to a perfect cherry reduction.

Effects

The high is like sinking into a plush chair after a decadent dessert, warm and content but still alert enough to enjoy the moment. It starts with a gentle mood boost, melting stress and gloomy thoughts like whipped cream under a hot cherry glaze. Your mind drifts into a happy, slightly hazy focus, ideal for savoring music or daydreaming about infinite gelato flavors. A soothing body buzz follows, easing tension, pain, or muscle cramps without turning you into a dessert coma. It’s potent yet balanced, keeping you relaxed but engaged, like lingering over coffee after a sweet treat.

Conclusion

Grown by Alt Sol and available at Takoma Wellness Center, Black Cherry Gelato is a flavorful hybrid that serves up a dessert-like experience with every puff. Its sweet cherry and gassy pine profile is a treat for the senses, while the balanced, relaxing high makes it perfect for unwinding. Whether you’re soothing stress, pain, or just craving a black cherry bliss-out, this flower delivers. The fresh, frosty buds showcase Alt Sol’s skill, and grabbing a jar feels like snagging the last scoop of gelato at a cherry festival. Pick some up for 4/20 and savor the sweet, creamy vibes!
