Initial Thoughts
The very rare and exotic Gelatti Strain is highly coveted as being one of the most flavorful and terpene rich varieties available on the market right now. This batch from DC i-71 storefront The Green Room, in particular, has beautifully fresh buds with good trichome coverage, a pungent funky aroma, and perfectly balanced hybrid effects.
Appearance
These buds are dense and spherical with purple highlights and long skinny orange pistils. The thickness of the trichomes makes them look almost fuzzy to me.
Status
Dried and cured like it's supposed to be. Careful consideration was taken to ensure it was properly manicured and stored.
Aroma
The aroma is sour with undertones of a sweet fruity nature and hints of diesel and skunk. I also detect an aroma of baked bread or cake, which I attribute to the biscotti background.
Flavor
The flavor very much matches the aroma with the distinct taste of sweet and sour fruit on the inhale that morphs into a menthol gassy combo as you exhale.
Lineage
Gelatti is a cross of Gelato and Biscotti that's evenly balanced at 50/50 in terms of indica/sativa ratio.
Effects
Since this strain very distinctly follows the hybrid pathways, as you could imagine, the high you feel from it is not overly indica or penetratingly sativa. I found the well-balanced buzz allowed me to be highly productive, while also having just the right amount of chill vibes to put my mind at ease from the stresses of the week. I smoked this one on a Sunday morning and the relaxing effects lasted well into the afternoon. I was alert and functional during the lazy day that it was - I didn’t float off to LaLa Land, but I also wasn't frantically buzzing around like I had a head full of sativa. It was a great all around buzz that I would enjoy again and again.
Conclusion
This flower is one of the most perfectly balanced hybrids in my opinion. Well cultivated and harvested this is connoisseur quality cannabis flower and The Green Room is the place to get it. Hit them up ASAP before it disappears and don't forget to let them know that KannaBus Ben at Toker’s Guide sent you their way!
