Flavor & Aroma

Sour Tsunami leans into its Diesel heritage with a prominent fuel-like nose layered over citrus zest and earthy undertones. Many describe a bright, lemon-lime snap on the inhale from limonene, followed by herbal-pine edges linked to pinene and a gently peppery finish often associated with caryophyllene. The exhale tends to be clean, lightly sweet, and persistent.

Originally bred by Lawrence Ringo of the Southern Humboldt Seed Collective, Sour Tsunami is commonly listed as a cross of Sour Diesel and NYC Diesel. It became one of the early widely recognized CBD-forward cultivars, selected over multiple generations to emphasize a steady CBD profile with moderate THC.
