AO Extracts Live Resin – Triangle Mints 1g Med

Triangle Mints was bred by Seed Junky Genetics, one of the most respected breeding operations in the modern cannabis industry and creator of several landmark hybrid strains. The cross combines Triangle Kush — a Florida OG heirloom landrace named after the Tampa-Jacksonville-Miami triangle that has long supplied premium cannabis to the East Coast — with Animal Mints, itself a Seed Junky cross of Animal Cookies and SinMint Cookies. Animal Mints carries GSC and Blue Power genetics through SinMint Cookies, which gives Triangle Mints its connection to the cookie family's sweet, dense terpene expression. Triangle Kush anchors the hybrid with its indica-dominant kush structure, earthy fuel character, and the cerebral OG-type high that Triangle Kush is known for producing. Triangle Mints is also known as Octagon Kush.

The minty, menthol-adjacent aromatic quality of Triangle Mints comes primarily from a combination of terpenes including Limonene and terpinolene-adjacent compounds in the Animal Mints lineage that are particularly volatile — they evaporate and degrade quickly once the plant is harvested and exposed to air, heat, and light during drying and curing. AO Extracts' fresh-frozen live resin approach prevents this degradation by flash-freezing the plant immediately after harvest and maintaining cold temperatures throughout extraction, preserving these volatile aromatics in the final product. This is why Triangle Mints live resin delivers a notably sharper, more pronounced mint-menthol aromatic character than concentrates produced from dried Triangle Mints flower — the extract captures the terpenes as they exist in the living plant rather than the depleted profile of cured material.

Triangle Mints derives its mint character from the terpene composition of its Animal Mints lineage — it is a natural expression of the plant's genetics rather than added flavouring. Other minty concentrates sometimes use botanical mint terpenes added to distillate to approximate the sensation. In Triangle Mints live resin, the cooling, fresh herbal quality is inseparable from the earthy kush and sweet herb aromatic layers that make up the complete profile — it is a more complex and grounded mint than straight botanical mint terpene additions produce. The Caryophyllene peppery spice and the Myrcene earthiness contextualise the mint within a full aromatic picture, which is what makes Triangle Mints distinctive in the minty cannabis concentrate category.
