Named after the classic brunch cocktail, Mimosa has become one of the defining strains of the new era of premium cannabis. Bright, uplifting, citrusy, and potent — it’s the perfect morning strain for those who want to start their day with a smile, or the ideal social companion for anyone who finds most hybrids too heavy.
Mimosa: Genetics & Origin
Mimosa was created by Symbiotic Genetics, crossing two iconic strains:
- Clementine — a Sativa-dominant strain known for its intense citrus terpene profile and uplifting, energizing effects
- Purple Punch — a heavy Indica cross (Larry OG × Granddaddy Purple) known for its deep purple hues and sedating grape candy aroma
The cross is a masterclass in genetic balance. Clementine brings the energy and citrus, Purple Punch brings the body and color. The result is a Sativa-dominant hybrid that delivers all-day energy without the anxiety that can come with pure Sativas.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
If you love citrus, Mimosa will be your new favorite strain:
- Primary: Fresh orange, tangerine, tropical citrus
- Secondary: Berry, grape, tropical fruit
- Finish: Earthy, slightly floral aftertaste
The dominant terpenes are Terpinolene, Myrcene, and Ocimene — a profile associated with uplifting, creative effects. The smell is genuinely reminiscent of fresh-squeezed orange juice.

- Onset: Fast — within 5-10 minutes
