Kosher Iris

Kosher Iris is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Kosher Iris is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. The strain was developed by crossing two well-established varieties: Kosher Kush, a multiple award-winning indica-dominant strain, and an Iris OG phenotype. This genetic combination creates a hybrid that typically expresses indica-dominant characteristics while maintaining some sativa influences in its effects. The strain emerged in the California cannabis scene during the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the potency and resin production of Kosher Kush with the unique terpene profile of Iris OG.

Visually, Kosher Iris plants produce dense, chunky buds with a classic OG structure, often displaying deep green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that reflects their high resin production. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its aromatic qualities, with 'Kosher' indicating its lineage from Kosher Kush and 'Iris' referring to the floral notes present in its terpene profile.

Kosher Iris is noted for its complex aroma that combines earthy, pine, and floral notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice. The flavor profile generally mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries through to the exhale. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Kosher Iris has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and sophisticated terpene expression. The strain represents a continuation of the OG Kush lineage while introducing unique aromatic characteristics from its Iris OG parent.
