Purple Mints
Also known as: Purple Mintz
Purple Mints Strain Overview
Purple Mints is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Paradise Seeds through crossing Purple Kush x Skunk #1 x Cookies. This strain was developed by selecting a particularly special phenotype from the Purple Kush x Skunk #1 cross for its complex terpene profile, then combining it with a Cookies parent that adds sweetness and additional potency. Purple Mints represents a modern example of Paradise Seeds' tradition of producing heavyweight indica strains with exceptional potency and unique aromatic profiles.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds that display an attractive palette of colors including purples, oranges, and resinous white tones as the plant matures. The flowers are compact and rock-hard with weighty density, making them a dream for trimming due to their easy manicuring requirements. Purple Mints is renowned for its complex terpene profile that creates a unique aromatic experience - dried buds emit the scent of fresh-baked banana bread, but when crushed, they release an intensely fruity, pungent explosion with notes of strawberries, sweetness, and banana.
This strain comes with warnings due to its extreme potency and is recommended only for experienced cannabis consumers. With its powerful sedative effects and couch-lock properties, Purple Mints is particularly popular among users seeking deep relaxation and nighttime relief. The strain's combination of potency, unique flavor profile, and visually striking appearance has made it a standout cultivar in the modern cannabis landscape.
