Mendocino Purps

Lineage: Mendocino County landrace selection

Dark coffee and caramel notes with sweet grape and a skunk edge on the finish. Settles into a body-heavy relaxation while keeping your mind warm and engaged—good for evening wind-down without total shutdown. A foundational California purple strain that shaped the market. Terpene profile confirmed via de la Fuente et al. 2019 dataset: Myrcene is dominant at 1.06% (above sedating threshold), supporting sleep 8 and relaxing 9 scores. Linalool present at 0.03% — below threshold for independent sleep contribution but not absent. Limonene present at 0.18%, consistent with mild euphoric 6 score. Sleep 8 is mechanistically supported by confirmed Myrcene dominance.
