Aroma
Flavour
“Dark cherry and berry over a creamy, faintly gassy base.”
The nose is rich and sweet: dark cherry and berry over a creamy, faintly gassy base. The effect leans relaxing — a euphoric head easing into a calm, heavy body, evening-friendly.
It's frosty and flavour-forward, a comfortable dessert indica-lean. For dark cherry on a Gelato base, it's a tasty, mellow pick.

Black Cherry Gelato is commonly associated with effects such as relaxed, euphoric, happy and hungry. Effects are subjective and vary with the dose, the way cannabis is taken and the individual — this is sensory guidance, not a guarantee.
Black Cherry Gelato is classified as hybrid in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; studies find they do not reliably track a plant's genetics or chemistry.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Blue Zushi, Red Zushi and Blue Cookies. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
