Decided to grab some TEG Pineapple Cup to compare to the Crysp Pineapple Cup I had.

I can confidently say they're the same biomass; the taste is nearly identical, as is the nose. The processing (and/or storage/handling) while similar is also very slightly different; the texture of the TEG is just a bit drier but a touch lighter, the Crysp is wetter and just a little bit darker, and this trend follows with the Qtip swabs.

For reference, I kept the TEG on the right-hand side and the Crysp on the left-hand side of each image. Dabs were a similar size, taken with the same heating profile on a Dr. Dabber Switch 2 with a sapphire plus insert.

For me, these two tie at 9.8/10; if I had to give a slight edge, it would be to the TEG just because it wipes a bit lighter, but in terms of effects and flavor, they're almost identical for me.

Considering I got the Crysp for ~$15/g less than the TEG, I really wish I had grabbed a few more grams for the freezer when it was available!

This has stood up surprisingly well considering it was packaged in January.

Would happily buy again on sale. Full-price rosin in this area still leaves me a bit annoyed though.

Another good rosin from Eden. Still has good flavor despite being almost 6 months old.

I'll need to see if I can find some Evermore soon to compare.

Memorial weekend sale brought the price down to an acceptable level (though still more than I'd like to spend). Figured i'd give it a shot since I normally stick to cheaper stuff, treat myself to something better for once.

It's very flavorful and not in the perfumed, artificial way. I'll probably buy more next time there is a good sale near me. I can't see myself paying out at "normal" retail price though.

Normal price was $75/g, sale price was $52.50/g.
