Kush Mints Strain: Genetics, THC, Flavour and Price

Last updated 5 October 2026 from live stock · By the Bud Cargo team

What strain is Kush Mints?

Kush Mints is a hybrid made by crossing Bubba Kush with Animal Mints. Weedmaps credits it to Seed Junky Genetics and notes that it circulates as a clone-only cut. That means the plants on the market come from cuttings of the original keeper plant, not from seed.

The two parents explain most of its character. Bubba Kush is a heavy, old-school indica with coffee and hash flavours; Leafly lists it as OG Kush crossed with an unknown indica. Animal Mints is a cookie-family hybrid from Animal Cookies and SinMint Cookies, and it brings the menthol and sweet dough notes. Kush Mints keeps the weight of the first and the mint of the second.

Is it Kush Mints, Kush Mintz or Kush Mint?

All three names point to the same strain. Leafly lists “Kush Mintz” as an alias, and AllBud files the strain as “Kush Mint” with the same Bubba Kush × Animal Mints parentage. Our own menu happens to carry it under two of those names, which is covered in the shop section below.

Is Kush Mints indica or sativa?

Kush Mints is a balanced hybrid, roughly 50% indica and 50% sativa. Leafly, AllBud and Weedmaps all describe it that way. In practice it leans relaxing, because the Bubba Kush side shows up strongly in the body as the session goes on, so many shoppers file it with evening strains even though the genetics are split evenly.

If you are comparing labels, remember that “indica” and “sativa” describe plant shape and ancestry more reliably than they predict how a strain will feel. The terpene list and the THC level tell you more, which is why we cover both below.

What does Kush Mints taste and smell like?

Kush Mints smells like cool mint and cookie dough over earthy Kush, with pine, pepper and a thread of gas behind it. Leafly’s top reported flavours are menthol and mint, and Weedmaps says mint makes up about half of all flavour reports, followed by spicy-herbal and lemon notes. AllBud describes “earthy sweet woods and rich spicy coffee with a heavy kick of mint”.

Those notes line up with its terpenes. Limonene usually reads as citrus, caryophyllene as black pepper and spice, and linalool as floral and soft. The coffee and hash notes come from the Bubba Kush parent. Our cannabis terpenes guide explains how each of these compounds shapes smell and taste.

What does Kush Mints look like?

Kush Mints grows dense, compact buds in forest green with purple streaks on some cuts, orange pistils and a heavy layer of white trichomes. Weedmaps calls the buds “very dense” and “crystal trichome covered”, which is part of why it is usually sold as a top-shelf strain.

How strong is Kush Mints?

Kush Mints is a high-THC strain, usually in the low-to-high 20s. The published figures vary by source because each one averages different lab results and reviews:

Treat these as typical ranges, not a guarantee for a particular jar. Grower, harvest and curing all move the number. We don’t publish a lab-tested THC figure for the Kush Mints lots we stock right now, so we don’t quote one. Our guide to reading THC percentages on a label explains what these figures can and can’t tell you.

What effects do people report from Kush Mints?

Reviewers most often describe Kush Mints as relaxing, happy and euphoric. Weedmaps’ effect reports split into relaxed (45%), happy (33%) and euphoric (22%), and its summary says the high starts with “a bright, euphoric head change before the heavier side starts working”. AllBud’s reviewers add body high, tingly and hungry.

That two-stage pattern is the strain’s reputation in a sentence: social and upbeat early, heavy and couch-friendly later, especially at larger amounts. Everyone reacts differently, so start with a small amount if you haven’t tried it before. This describes what consumers report, not a health claim.

How does Kush Mints compare with Bubba Kush and Animal Mints?

Kush Mints sits between its parents: it is stronger on paper than either one and blends Bubba Kush’s coffee-and-hash base with Animal Mints’ menthol and cookie sweetness.

If you like the heavier Kush side, our Death Bubba buyer’s guide covers another Bubba-family strain we stock, and Bubba OG AAAA+ is on the menu from $10 a gram.

Is Kush Mints a good strain?

Kush Mints is one of the better-rated modern hybrids. It holds a 4.6-star average from more than 500 reviews on both Leafly and Weedmaps, and Herb Approach’s Kush Mints listing alone carries 37 customer reviews. Whether it suits you depends on taste: if you like minty, cookie-style flavours with real weight behind them, it is a strong pick; if you prefer fruit or candy profiles, look elsewhere.

It is also a good strain for comparing graders, because so many shops carry it. At Bud Cargo it is graded AAAA+, our top flower tier. Our AAAA weed guide explains what that grade means and lists every quad-grade strain in stock.
