**Black Truffle AAAA

Then the Black Truffle strain should probably be your next purchase at the dispensary, as you’ll often hear users praising its ability to do just that: delivery potency that gets you going instead of knocking you out. Let’s discuss this indica-dominant hybrid with complex qualities. 

THE BLACK TRUFFLE STRAIN’S ORIGINS AND APPEARANCE

Black Truffle is an indica-dominant hybrid—often displayed as just an indica—bred by crossing Gelato #33 with some unknown weed strain. Big Chief out in California is credited for creating Black Truffle. As the name suggests, its purple flowers are so dark, they almost appear black. Their dense, spade-shaped buds grow from a short and bushy plant, as you’d expect from an indica-dominant plant. 

HOW DOES BLACK TRUFFLE SMELL AND TASTE?

With touches from tea and fresh coffee to lavender and menthol, users report a complex mixture of aromas contained in the Black Truffle strain. You’ll commonly hear people saying that itsflavors are floral, herbal, nutty, and dank. Consumers also often compare notes of the cultivar’s flavor profile to blueberries and grapes. 

Which brings us to its terpenes, the source of all flavor and fragrance in cannabis; Black Truffle has an abundance of caryophyllene, the terpene of black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon, which you will find in strains like Animal Cookies and Bubba Kush.  

Accompanying caryophyllene, you’ll find some terpinolene, a terpene present in nutmeg spice, tea tree, and oregano, as well as in strains like Dutch Treat, XJ-13, and Ghost Train Haze. 

Linalool also makes its presence felt (or smelled and tasted). It’s the terpene most commonly associated with lavender. Weed strains abundant in linalool include Granddaddy Purple, Lavender, and LA Confidential.
