A sommelier uses multiple senses when evaluating a wine. Cannabis lovers can apply the same techniques to selecting a strain of Cannabis.

Smell and sight are the two main senses used. How does the strain smell? Is there a predominant terpene? Lemonene, myrcene, or another terpene the dominant aroma?

Visually can the flower be seen easily? Is there kief present? Are there any flower buds present and are they heavy with kief?
