About Mendo Breath
Mendo Breath is a heavy-hitting indica-dominant strain bred by Phantom Farms in Mendocino County, California, as a cross of the rare Mendo Montage with OGKB (the much-sought OG Kush phenotype). It is prized for its distinctly sweet aroma of vanilla, caramel, and chocolate that pairs beautifully with its powerful body effects. The high is deeply relaxing and euphoric, often and often described as overwhelming for novices. Mendo Breath became a staple of the Cali-exotic movement in the mid-2010s and remains highly regarded for its outstanding bag appeal.
