Where Mint Durban Comes From
Little reliable information exists on Mint Durban. Leafly does not list a breeder, parents or type, and the listing is based on a single rating and one written review. The name suggests a link to Durban Poison, and the terpinolene lead fits that family, but no source I found confirms it.
There are several mint-named and Durban-named cuts, so expect some ambiguity.
Mint Durban Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly describes the effects as uplifting, euphoric and relaxing, and mostly energizing overall. The one reviewer describes tingling in the extremities that spreads into a calm across the whole body.
With so little data, set expectations loosely. The 14% THC figure is low by current standards, though one reviewer mentions a much higher number, so actual potency probably varies.
Mint Durban Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Flavors listed are lemon, pine and woody. Leafly describes the dominant terpene, terpinolene, as herbal and floral with fruity notes. Limonene and myrcene follow it.
- Terpinolene: fruity, piney and herbal, common in classic sativas
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
