Flavor & Aroma
Tangie lives up to its name with a burst of sweet tangerine and orange zest on the nose. On the inhale, bright citrus and tropical candy notes lead, while subtle skunky and herbal undertones come through on the exhale. Terpinolene and limonene typically drive the citrus-forward profile, myrcene adds a gentle herbal earthiness, and beta-caryophyllene layers in a light peppery spice. Some cuts also show floral hints likely tied to ocimene.
Genetics & Lineage
Tangie is commonly listed as a cross of California Orange (Cali-O) and Skunk #1. Brought to wider popularity by DNA Genetics/Reserva Privada and selections from Crockett Family Farms, Tangie modernized classic orange-forward profiles and helped spark renewed interest in citrus strains. Many aficionados note its spiritual connection to 1990s tangerine cultivars.
