Jaffa Caked Cookies

One thing that the vast majority of UK canna enthusiasts will agree on is, that when it comes to the best strains to ever grace our shores, there are only a few that stand the test of time.

Cheese will be the first one that comes to mind, and rightly so. A seminal UK strain if there ever was one. But coming in a remarkably close second (at least in terms of notoriety), it's simply got to be Jaffa Caked Cookies. A true box ticker, the Jaffa Caked Cookies weed strain offers up that heady, hazy high that we all know and love, and a taste and aroma that is getting rarer with each passing year.

Brought to us by the gang at London Dank in collabouration with Cookie Monster (two of the UK's most well-respected cannabis breeding collectives), this almost perfectly balanced hybrid weed strain is the result of a sweet union between Tangie and Phantom Cookies.

So, why should Jaffa Caked Cookies be the top of your must-try list?

• The Experience - The 24% THC makes for a wild ride if you're not used to high-potency strains. The brain fog is off the scale, and containing your imagination can be a task and a half if you accidentally overindulge with Jaffa Caked Cookies. Not a bad thing at all, but it's something to keep in mind. In smaller doses, you'll find that this strain provides an energising cerebral high, perfect for getting creative and socialising.
• The Taste - The mix of spicy and sour fruitiness is strong with Jaffa Caked Cookies. It starts out very citrusy, but slightly more grapefruit than Jaffa orange in all honesty. The sweetness of Tangie does come through more towards the exhale, which is complemented by a real nuttiness combined with cookie dough.
• The Aesthetics - There is no purple to be found with the Jaffa Caked Cookies strain, but that doesn't make it any less visually appealing than the rest. The furry layer of trichomes is almost overwhelming, looking more like a moonrock than a regular bud, and the bright orange hairs add a pop of colour to an otherwise green-and-white appearance.
• The Medical Benefits - Aside from the obvious enjoyment factor, Jaffa Caked Cookies is a really popular medical cannabis strain. It's been reported to help with anxiety, depression and stress relief, as well as providing pain relief for those suffering from chronic conditions.
