Bottlebrush by The Natural Flower Company is a collaboration between Canntic and Medicrop to supply Aussie grown Medicinal Cannabis, with both companies based in Queensland. Bottlebrush is the first flower in this range and is a Queensland-grown, indica-dominant hybrid that combines the sweet and sour aroma of Wedding Cake and Animal Cookies with a robust, dessert-like flavour profile. With 22% THC and a terpene blend featuring Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Myrcene, this strain is designed to help users relax, de-stress, and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.

Appearance & Aroma
The buds of Bottlebrush are medium-sized, densely packed, and slightly rugged in structure. Olive-green tones dominate the nugs, accented by bright orange pistils, and they are well cured.
In terms of aroma, the Bottlebrush brings a peppery, musky scent with sweet and sour undertones. Break it apart, and you’ll discover more earthy layers, creating a complex profile that reflects its parent genetics.
Flavour
The flavour of Bottlebrush leans toward its dessert genetics, offering a tangy sweetness with earthy undertones. There’s a natural, clean quality to the taste, reminiscent of outdoor-grown buds, with a peppery aftertaste that lingered on my palate. This distinctive note is likely due to the dominant presence of Beta-Caryophyllene in its terpene profile.
Experience
Bottlebrush delivers a gradual build-up of effects, taking about 5-15 minutes to fully set in. The high begins with a cerebral, and heady buzz that’s stoney yet soothing. I found it’s more ideal for evening sessions and helps to ease both my mind and body – though I noticed it had stronger effects on my mind than body.

Final Thoughts
Canntic’s Bottlebrush (Wedding Cake x Animal Cookies) offers a stoney, calming high with a flavour profile that combines sweet, sour, and earthy notes. While it may not boast the flashy aesthetics of more premium strains, its affordability and effectiveness make it a solid choice for those seeking locally grown flower.
One of the things I love most about the cannabis industry and culture is its inclusivity—there’s an accessory, consumption method, or strain to suit everyone, no matter their preferences or budget.
Next up, I plan to explore Canntic’s Black Label to see how their craft offerings compare to their label, The Natural Flower Company.
