The ritual

Strain Society is our guided tasting night—part education, part discovery, all community. We explore terpene profiles, flavour evolution, and effect nuance, comparing cultivars side-by-side and voting for the “Strain of the Night.” It’s equal parts sensory science and slow enjoyment.

This session

• Fresh drop: Three new cultivars, each with a distinct terpene signature
• Hosted by: Charlie — Seknd Nature Head Tester (chemical engineer by trade, connoisseur by nature)
• Format: Structured tasting flight, palate resets, comparative analysis, and open discussion

What you get

• A guided flight of 3 cultivars (aroma → flavour → effect)
• Tasting scorecard and aroma wheel to track your preferences
• Palate cleansers and water
• Community vote for Strain of the Night + a small prize for one taster

Run of show

• 18:30 Check-in, palate reset, scorecards out
• 18:45 Tasting method, Terpenes 101, and technique walkthrough
