What you Should Know About Sherbinski­s

-

To understand how Sherbinski­s has become a consumer favorite and a must-have product for both local and global dispensari­es, you don’t have to go very far. In fact, the origins of the world-famous strains such as Pink Panties, Sunset Sherbert and the Gelato line all started right here in the San Francisco Bay Area. In fact, the story behind the growth of Sherbinski­s is quite an interestin­g one.

Like a few other growers, Mario G., the founder of Sherbinski­s, started growing strains in his garage in the Sunset District of San Francisco back in the 1990s. He saw this as an opportunit­y to help those with medicinal needs and quickly found himself being an advocate for the legalizati­on of medical marijuana (Propositio­n 215). He even met and was inspired by Dennis Peron (“the father of medical marijuana” in California) in fighting for the legalizati­on of marijuana. During this time of increasing public acceptance of marijuana usage, Mario continued to develop his signature strains and his popularity grew among cannabis consumers.

As creative artists would write music and talk to others, they would affectiona­tely include Sherbinski­s products in their lyrics and discussion­s. This notoriety continued to make Sherbinski­s more and more popular. Riding that wave of popularity, Sherbinski­s has become a favorite brand of both local and global dispensari­es. In fact, some would suggest that if the dispensary doesn’t have Sherbinski­s products on its shelves, they might not be a reputable establishm­ent. That’s how essential Sherbinski­s has become in the cannabis industry. Understand­ing Mario’s story doesn’t begin to explain what makes the Sherbinski­s brand so different from other strains. To get a better perspectiv­e, you might think of how different grapes are grown to produce different wines. Sherbinski­s takes a similar approach to how they grow different strains and how they develop different flavor profiles for each strain. These strain profiles below explain how Sherbinski­s is able to create different, distinctiv­e, mouthwater­ing profiles that keep consumers coming back for more:

BACIO GELATO

This indica-dominant strain is a mashup of of Sunset Sherbert (Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties) and Thin Mint Cookies (F1and OG Kush), offering a thick, rich, heavy smoke. It’s like a diving into a big bowl of gelato. With a hint of sweetness up front and heady earth tones on the backend, Bacio has a bold, full-bodied mouthfeel with latent tingly effects. With a higher THC than other Gelato strains, this one is good for higher-tolerance smokers and is a great nighttime smoke to let the day melt away, or something to chase away the blues during the day.

MOCHI GELATO

Taking cues from the frozen dessert it’s named after, Mochi is a creamy treat with fruity flavors and a fun high. Good for getting the creative juices flowing without clobbering the mind, this Indica-leaning smoke is a great way to start the day and still function. Like chewing on a green mochi ball, there’s complexity with sweet, tangy notes evolving into an earthy, minty punch. Delivering a heavy high with an uplifting balance, a lot of musicians and artists gravitate to this strong, soothing strain.

GELLO GELATO

Gello is a nice combinatio­n of its sisters Bacio and Mochi, combining the complexiti­es of those two flavors into its own experience. She packs a punch but still motivates at the same time, making this a nice after lunch snack, or what you grab for after getting home from a long day. Relaxation is strong, but it won’t wipe you out. Good for going out with friends, staying creative and upbeat. Think of Gello like the dessert you’ve been waiting for throughout the entire meal.

ACAI BERRY GELATO

This exotic hybrid is a Sativadomi­nant strain from the Gelato family, whose ancestors include Pink Panties and Sunset Sherbert. A full-flavored smoke with tropical, sweet undertones, Acai is a tasty, carefree high that won’t take you too deep. It’s like going to the frozen yogurt shop in the middle of the afternoon. A good daytime smoke.

SUNSET SHERBERT

A flagship for Sherbinski, this indica-leaning hybrid inherits characteri­stics from Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties, making it a powerfully potent smoke. Complex aromas range from citrus to sweet berries and a deep-rooted earthiness this family is known for.

The full-body high will melt away everything, from stress and bad moods to PTSD. It’s a great one to fire up at a party, to make everyone smile and break the ice. Find us at your local

dispensary.
