MAC Mints Strain Overview
MAC Mints, also known as "MAC Mintz," is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the potent MAC X Kush Mintz strains. This cultivar was created by Umami Seed Company, and achieved through a crossbreeding effort combining Kush Mints with MAC. Mac Mints emerged in the late 2010s and early 2020s as breeders chased crosses that combined MAC's frosty, creamy-lime fuel with the modern Mints family's menthol-cookie profile. MAC 1, the phenotypically elite selection by Capulator, had already achieved near-mythic status for its resin density and creamy citrus-gas bouquet. In parallel, the Mints lineage—popularized through breeders like Seed Junky Genetics with Kush Mints and the broader "Mintz" branding wave—was reshaping the dessert category with cooling, cookie-adjacent flavors.
MAC Mints buds have dense and long pepper-shaped dark olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, lots of thin amber hairs and a coating of tiny, milky amber crystal trichomes. As you pull apart each sticky little nugget, aromas of fresh mint, spicy black pepper and sour lemony chemicals are released, intensifying the more that you toke. Mac Mints sits squarely in the "dessert-gas" lane that dominates consumer demand, combining confectionary sweetness with peppery gas and a late exhale of peppermint. The strain represents the convergence of two highly sought-after genetics, creating a cultivar that appeals to both flavor enthusiasts and potency seekers in the modern cannabis market.
