My order should be here in a few days but I haven’t seen it mentioned so I’m curious what people think about it.

I just got mine in the mail. I will update this thread later today after trying it out! So far the White Hulu Kapua is great morning strain, just tried the Classic green maeng da, so far so good.

Mine is coming in the mail today, too! I'm assuming with a name like that, that Sunset Bali is good for evening relaxation. Will let everyone know as soon as I do. :)

I really enjoy the Sunset Bali and find it to be similar to Wild Crafted Gold, that i am a big fan of!
The Sunset Bali takes the edge off without sedation and i prefer it as late day wind down strain, nice for relaxing without too much sedation.
I think this will be great to blend with a faster Green or White for earlier in the day.

1800: I just took my evening dose:

1.5g mixed with a squirt of lemon juice, set for 5 minutes, then simmered for 10 minutes in 4 oz water and aeropressed.

Smell is more pumpkin like than hay or grass.
Taste is bitter with a sour/bile aftertaste that lingers for a minute.
Grind is fine. No grit or visable plant matter. It fairly dissolved into the water and didn't have a thick layer of mud in the aeropress after pressing.
The tea color is a nice bright amber leaning more yellow than red.

Onset: 45 minutes and I've already got some nice body tingles going on.

Just a side note: I just ate a steak and pasta salad so the initial impression may be milder for me than if I waited more time to eat. The burn isn't as effected by eating when I drink tea. If the effects are dulled at all by food, it doesn't usually last long, maybe 20 or 30 minutes, before it ramps back up to full strength.

1900: I can already feel the mood lift kicking in. Warm and happy.

2000: I'm warm, relaxed, and tingly. I could take a nap if I wanted to, with a smile on my face, but this doesn't feel overly sedating. I could definitely socialize without my anxiety flaring up or just sit on the couch and chat. On the pain relief side, my sciatica has decided to bother me a bit over the past couple of hours. This strain is dulling the pain a bit, but I probably wouldn't reach for this if I needed pain relief.

2100: 3 hours in to the burn now. I feel like this one peaked at around 2 hours. It's turning more sedating now, less warm and tingly. The anxiety relief and relaxation is still pretty great. And I'm oddly chatty, lol. I've texting like crazy for the past hour. I can only infer that this strain would be a great social enhancer based on that. Mix it with a speedier green or white and I bet it would make for a geeat night out blend. Pain relief is definitely not a strong point here.

2200: At the 4 hour mark now. Apparently the sedation was only because I was sitting still. When I got up to do some stuff around the house I'm pleasantly awake, just really relaxed, loose, and chill. I like not having to fight against the leaf if I choose to be awake. I don't think I would drive right now, though, unless I had some caffeine or a monster energy. I feel a little too relaxed to operate heavy machinery. The munchies have kicked in with a tiiiiny bit of itching, too. Tells me those mu receptors of mine are still being targeted. Definitely feels like this burn is wrapping up now.

Mood: 6/10

Hope this helps anyone looking :D

Awe, you're so nice :D

I try to journal my first impressions of strains so I can "match" a strain to a need or situation in the future. I enjoy documenting the experience! I'll try to update through the burn so you can get an idea of peak time, legs, and any changes.
