Mimosa Strain: Effects, Taste and Lineage

Leafly lists Mimosa, also known as Purple Mimosa or Mimosas, as a hybrid of Clementine and Purple Punch and calls it a staple of the Tangie family. Weedmaps credits Northern California breeder Symbiotic Genetics and says Mimosa took second place in the sativa category at the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup in Santa Rosa. Leafly adds that Symbiotic has since released a refined version called Mimosa v6.

Labels lean sativa: Weedmaps calls it sativa dominant and AllBud puts it at 70% sativa and 30% indica, while Leafly files it simply as a hybrid.

Weedmaps describes spade-shaped, light green colas coated in resin and spotted with orange pistils, and AllBud describes small, dense, olive green nugs with dark orange hairs and bright white trichomes.

Leafly says the aroma and flavour recall the drink it is named after, with fruit and citrus up front, and its reviewers most often name citrus, orange and grapefruit. Weedmaps users report citrus, orange and tropical flavours over earthy undertones, and AllBud describes a sweet and sour tropical citrus taste with a light berry exhale, plus woody, floral and herbal notes in the aroma.

Leafly's lab data lists myrcene first, followed by pinene and caryophyllene.

Leafly's 1,183 ratings most often mention feeling focused, energetic and uplifted, and Leafly rates its effects as mostly energizing. Leafly's description also notes a difference by dose: small amounts tend to feel happy, level-headed and motivated, while large amounts may feel sleepy and relaxed.

AllBud describes an energetic, clear-headed lift with a light tingle in the body, and Weedmaps notes its popularity as a daytime strain. The downsides Leafly users list most are feeling anxious, dry mouth and headache. Start with a small amount, and follow Health Canada's advice not to drive for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.

Leafly lists Mimosa at about 19% THC with around 1% CBG, while AllBud gives an average range of 19% to 27%. Batches vary, so go by the lab result on the label. How much THC percentage matters explains why the number is only part of the picture.

Through Purple Punch, which Leafly describes as a cross of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple, Mimosa is a half-sibling of Slurricane, which Leafly also lists as a Purple Punch offspring. Weedmaps names the two parents, Purple Punch and Clementine, as the most similar strains, and Leafly lists King's Juice and Mimosa Evo as Mimosa offspring.
