Dab Review: Ripple Wellness Guava Tangie Live Rosin

Dab Review: Ripple Wellness Guava Tangie Live Rosin

This Maine event is juicy yet waxy, landing somewhere in that perfect wet badder consistency


Fresh off a 10-hour flight to Spain for Spannabis 2025, all I could think about was the jar of Ripple Wellness Guava Tangie live rosin I stashed for myself back home.

The Biddeford, Maine-based Ripple operates as a true single-source producer, even breeding many of its own strains, giving them a clear edge in crafting top-tier solventless concentrates. This particular pheno carries an extra layer of sentiment: “It’s a selection from a seed pack of Crockett’s Clifford—a cross of Guava Stardawg x Tangie—hunted by a close friend who’s no longer in the game,” the small company’s founder noted.

Guava Tangie brings those two legendary lineages together for a vibrant, fruity symphony. On the nose, I can close my eyes and picture a fresh-cut fruit platter. It’s reminiscent of candied orange, balanced with a subtle creamy funk.

The rosin itself shines with that signature reddish-brick orange hue—something I’ve come to expect from true Tangie-based concentrates. It’s juicy yet waxy, landing somewhere in that perfect wet badder consistency.

The flavor? Pure orange fruit smoothie bliss. It’s a room-filler too—one dab and it smells like you just burned a whole joint. I took this one outside to enjoy the spring air, and the euphoric, daydreamy high felt like the perfect pairing.

Ripple Wellness concentrates are available exclusively at their two Maine locations in Saco and Biddeford. If you’re in the area and want to support a mom-and-pop team with a serious passion for terps and their customers, this is one spot where your money is well spent.
