Has the Snohomish, Washington producer/processor GreenRush found a way to make a good thing even better? The Strawberry Shortcake Diamond Sauce from their Platinum Line of extracts makes a pretty strong, and flavor-packed case. Billed as “Diamond Sauce” by Green Rush, high terpene extract (HTE) and THC-A crystalline is hardly the newest thing on the block these days; some processors have gotten laxed and begun to deliver lesser quality. Let’s find out where Green Rush lands on the spectrum.
Diamond Sauce is not for the faint of heart or pocketbook. HTE and THC-A crystalline are typically more expensive and tend to draw a more experienced audience. However, GreenRush manages to make a normally expensive product accessible, at $40 a gram. Expectations are naturally higher when reaching for a product of this caliber. Smell, taste, consistency, and potency all play a combined role for a top-notch diamond sauce.
Before The High
With this batch being freshly submitted, the exact results weren’t initially available but it did not detract from the experience. I will cut some slack because this is a-typical when in-store. The packaging is pretty standard for cannabis brands. The design is non-offensive and, depending on how its in-store display, can lead to it being overlooked.
GreenRush’s Strawberry Shortcake Diamond Sauce is as scrumptious as the actual dessert. The smell of the product instantly escapes when opening the container. The product itself was absolutely stunning in terms of consistency. The sauce’s viscosity was perfect. GreenRush struck a perfectly balanced amount of small, medium, and even a few Large THC-A rocks as well.
I don’t subscribe to the “waste it to taste it” mentality, but I do know that the right temperature delivers better efficiency with concentrates. For that reason alone, I stick to my PuffCo Peak. The consistency was an absolute dream to handle. I dropped a medium-to-large diamond in the center of the ceramic bowl, scooped out some HTE sauce without issue, and let it rip.
While Elevated
I was apprehensive of the product being labeled “Strawberry Shortcake.” Was it because of the strain effects, the flavor profile – or both? Spoiler alert: the relationship was synergenistc. The initial onset of flavor was very sweet, with a strong sense of berry (Strawberry). Upon exhale I could taste an absolutely delectable smooth cream finish (Shortcake).
The experience consistently exceeded my expectation. I sat with the product over a few days. From the first time I tried it, it was apparent that the calming effect alleged was true. Preferring Sativa strains, I was careful not to dab it first thing in the morning. A morning dab of this will have me wanting to cozy back up in the bed. It is better choice for the final dab of the evening. A sweet treat before bed, if you will.
I can safely say that I found a diamond in GreenRush. The Strawberry Shortcake Diamond Sauce is going to be a high and flavor profile I will not soon forget.
