Thin Mint Cookies Strain — THCA Profile, Effects, and Where to Buy
Thin Mint Cookies — also called Thin Mint GSC or TMC — is the cool-mint phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies that parented Gelato 33, Gelato 41, and Bacio Gelato. Premium THCA hemp cuts test 21-26%.
Lineage and origin
Thin Mint Cookies is a phenotype of the original GSC line: OG Kush × Durban Poison. Among the GSC phenos pulled in the early 2010s, Thin Mints stood out for the strongest mint expression — closer to a chocolate spearmint cookie than a sugared dough. Sherbinski and Cookie Fam took this exact mother and crossed it with Sunset Sherbet to create Gelato 33 and Gelato 41 — meaning Thin Mints is, indirectly, the genetic foundation of the entire Gelato dynasty.
Terpene profile and aroma
Caryophyllene leads, with limonene and humulene rounding out the load. The flavor is unmistakable: cool spearmint over a baked-cookie sweetness with an earthy pine exhale. Buds are tight, dark forest green, and trichome-coated with bright purple striations. The mint sits on top of the GSC cookie spine rather than replacing it — a layered, almost herbal-dessert profile.
Effects in plain English
Effects open euphoric and clear-headed, hold a focused-creative middle, and ease into a relaxed body warmth. THCAmap scoring:
