Mendo Breath Live Hash Rosin – Top Shelf Dispensary ($50/g)

     Mendo Breath Live Hash Rosin 

    This week, we're diving into a product category we haven't covered before: live hash rosin. Sourced from Top Shelf Dispensary, this Mendo Breath live rosin is priced at $25 per half gram or $50 per full gram—a premium price point, but one that reflects the craftsmanship behind this solventless concentrate.

    For those unfamiliar, live hash rosin is a top-tier cannabis extract known for its purity and rich terpene profile. Unlike other concentrates that use solvents, live rosin is produced by first creating ice water hash from freshly frozen cannabis. This hash is then pressed under heat and pressure to extract the rosin, preserving the plant's natural flavors and effects. The labor-intensive process and small batch sizes contribute to its higher cost, but many connoisseurs find the quality well worth the investment.

    The Mendo Breath strain itself is an indica-dominant hybrid, a cross between OG Kush Breath and Mendo Montage. Known for its sweet vanilla and caramel aroma, Mendo Breath delivers a euphoric high with powerful body effects, making it ideal for evening use. Its dominant terpenes—Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene—contribute to its relaxing and mood-elevating properties

In this review, we'll explore the taste and aroma, effects and terpene profile, and overall value of this Mendo Breath live hash rosin. Let's see if it lives up to the hype and justifies its premium price tag.



    Taste & Smell

    From the moment you open the jar, the aroma of this live hash rosin is exceptional. It's easily one of the richest and most refined cannabis smells I’ve ever encountered before dabbing — a true showcase of what high-end extraction can preserve. The scent hits with deep gas, clean terpene purity, and a soft vanilla finish that’s both pungent and elegant. When dabbing, the flavor starts off incredibly terp-forward, translating that rich aroma into a vapor that coats the palate. However, toward the end of the dab, even at very low temperatures, the flavor fades slightly into a dry herb aftertaste, which slightly dulls the finish. Still, the initial profile is top-tier and deserves recognition for how boldly it delivers the strain’s signature notes.

    Effects & Terpenes

    Mendo Breath, a cross of OG Kush Breath x Mendo Montage, brings a powerful indica-leaning effect profile that’s both relaxing and mentally clear. Dominated by Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene, the terpene profile lends itself to stress relief and physical calm without locking you to the couch. I found the effects hit quickly, within one solid pull, and offered a functioning, high-performing headspace—great for winding down, but not so sedating that it disrupts productivity. It also helped reduce nausea symptoms associated with my epilepsy, a bonus for medical users looking for targeted symptom relief. While the rosin didn’t dab perfectly clean, the effects more than made up for the slight shortcomings in purity.

    Looks & Value

    This gram of Mendo Breath rosin comes with a dry but workable texture and a beautiful pale hue that suggests proper handling and preservation. It may not have the wet, greasy look of some fresher batches, but the visual quality still inspires confidence. Upon dabbing, it becomes clear that the rosin may contain a touch of leftover plant material, which affects how cleanly it vapes—especially on low-temp sessions with devices like an e-rig. Despite that, the overall experience is still very enjoyable, and the taste and effects easily carry the product. At $50 a gram from Top Shelf Dispensary, it sits at the higher end of the price range, but for those seeking a true small-batch solventless product with strong medicinal and recreational value, it holds up as a solid pick.


Cosmetic: 8.8/10  - The pale color and dry texture give this rosin a handcrafted look, and while it may not glisten like some wetter pulls, it’s clearly made with quality flower. A bit drier than ideal, but still solid visually.

Flavor/Smell: 9.9/10  - This is where the Mendo Breath rosin truly shines. The smell is incredibly deep and rich—gassy, clean, with a hint of vanilla. One of the best terp profiles we’ve come across. The flavor is powerful and lingers, even if it tails off slightly mid-dab.

Effects: 9.7/10  - The high comes on immediately with a clear-headed but deeply relaxing feel, perfect for high-functioning relaxation without sedation. A great option for unwinding without knocking yourself out.

Overall Score 9.5/10

Farm To Med Review: "Blueberries"

Image
    Blueberries! Imagine breaking open a beautiful round nug while being met with a medley of subtle fruit smells and light gassy notes. This offering from Farm To Med is a bag appeal monster with noticeably well developed trichomes! Its large nug structure and varying shades of green with orange hairs made Blueberries a must try for me. It's a huge added bonus that this flower is not shipped in but is instead grown fresh here in Tennessee! This strain advertises as a hybrid 50/50 yet I personally feel that it leans more towards the indica side.      My first impression of this strain was how well developed the trichomes are, even with the naked eye you can see hundreds of fully bulbed trich's covering the nugs from tip to stem. I also noticed in my review that the smell on this strain is very unique, offering a fruity/sweet scent that is distinctive to a handful of fruity strains I have tested, something to try for sure. This cut of blueberries was a dry brittl...

Snapdragon Review - Dark Matter

Image
       Dark Matter      This strain is quickly rocketing to the top of my favorites list. Dark Matter , from Snapdragon Hemp , is a unique cross between Cherry Thunderfuck and Rusty Haze —two distinct genetics that come together beautifully in this cut.      A hybrid that leans indica, Dark Matter owes much of its relaxing effect to a heavy dose of myrcene —a terpene often linked to that classic “couch-lock” sensation.      Crack open the jar, stir a bit, and you're greeted with an out-of-this-world nose: sharp, gassy cherries that hit you right away. It’s a wild and wonderful terpene combo that sets the tone before you even reach for your torch.     Myrcene!           What really sets Dark Matter apart is its terpene profile—especially its high myrcene content . Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis and is known for its musky, earthy aroma and deeply...

SnapDragon Review - Rainbow Runtz

Image
      Rainbow Runtz                Rainbow Runtz is a hybrid strain that brings together two heavy hitters: Dosi Dos and Zkittlez . Picked up from Snapdragon Hemp , this resin immediately stands out with its golden, slightly crumbly texture that’s easy to work with and very appealing.      Terpene-wise, this strain leans into a calming profile rich in myrcene , limonene , and caryophyllene —a trio known for their relaxing, mood-lifting, and slightly spicy effects. The nose and flavor both lean closer to the Dosi Dos side of its lineage, with an  earthy aroma and a doughy taste  that lingers on the exhale.      Terps & Texture    With a mix of  myrcene , limonene , and a touch of caryophyllene , this blend brings on a deeply relaxing and mellow experience. The myrcene comes through loudest for me—ushering in that classic body calm, almost like a weighted blanket o...
