Flavor & Aroma
Mimosa leans heavily into citrus and sweet tropical notes, often compared to fresh orange or tangerine. Limonene drives the bright, juicy nose, while beta-caryophyllene can add a light peppery spice and linalool contributes a soft floral layer. On the inhale, expect sweet orange candy; on the exhale, a crisp citrus-pine finish with hints of berry from its Purple Punch lineage.
Genetics & Lineage
Mimosa is a cross of Clementine and Purple Punch, originally popularized by Symbiotic Genetics. The pairing blends Clementine’s zesty, uplifting personality with the dessert-like sweetness and colour potential of Purple Punch. Phenotypes can vary, but the citrus-forward profile is a consistent hallmark.
