Sour Orange is a sativa-dominant hybrid created by crossing California Orange with Blueberry, yielding a strain that is roughly 60 percent sativa and 40 percent indica. Its buds are long and narrow, a minty green with thin orange hairs and a frosty coat of golden crystal trichomes that glisten in the light.
Its palate mirrors its name: a lip-puckering sour citrus orange flavor interlaced with a bright bubblegum sweetness. The aroma is equally bold, pairing a sour citrus-orange overtone with fresh woody pine and a twist of ripe fruit that lingers in the air.
The impact is a lively, uplifting cerebral rush that can energize daytime activity and stretch for hours, with a mood boost and a sense of confidence that helps you tackle tasks. With a reported THC range around 20 to 24 percent, Sour Orange can provoke euphoric clarity at first, softening into a more relaxed state as the high progresses. Medicinally, it is commonly employed to ease chronic stress, depression, hypertension, and headaches or migraines, and to alleviate appetite loss or nausea.
