Umpqua CBD Hemp Flower Strain and the Senses
Flavor
Sure, you’ve got the typical earthy musk, even gassy scent of any cannabis strain, but be ready, the Umpqua CBD Hemp Flower strain is a delicious smelling and fragrant bud that exudes citrus flavors including lemon, peaches, and others, with a touch of pine. It tastes just like it smells, too, and the aroma just grows in intensity the more it’s broken down or ground.
Appearance
How pretty is this? These dense yet fluffy nugs are relaxing and calming just to look at, with their weaving pistils wrapping the tightly packed leaves that swirl in seemingly random but complimentary patterns. And look all you want, because even then you’ll get to inhale their delicious scent. It even looks like the leaves are caked in sugar because of the high amount of glistening trichomes. The buds are strong, though, so you may need to have a little help when breaking them apart.
