About Tangie
Tangie was created by DNA Genetics by crossing California Orange with an unknown Skunk hybrid. The strain was designed to bring back the tangerine-orange aroma of the classic Tangerine Dream, which had been lost over decades of breeding. Tangie succeeded beyond expectations — its aroma was so intensely citrus that it became the defining 'orange' strain of the modern era. The buds are light green and fluffy with sativa structure and abundant trichomes. Tangie effects are pure sativa: energetic, creative, and uplifting with a mood-boosting euphoria. The strain won the 2015 Cannabis Cup and spawned dozens of citrus offspring including Agent Orange, Orange Cookies, and Tropicana Cookies.
Flavor Profile
The Story & Lineage Origin
DNA Genetics released Tangie in 2012 and it was an immediate sensation. The strain won the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup and was responsible for reviving the citrus terpene category in cannabis.
Before Tangie, most strains were earthy, skunky, or fuel-forward. Tangie proved that a strain could be intensely fruit-forward and still deliver potent effects.
Its influence ripples through modern genetics — Tropicana Cookies (Tangie x GSC), Mimosa (Purple Punch x Clementine — itself a Tangie descendant), and countless others trace their citrus character to Tangie. It is one of the most influential sativa hybrids of the 2010s.
