What does a cannabis sommelier do?
At Green Apple, the counter team tastes and smells the lots, tracks terpene profiles and cultivar lineage, and matches the right flower to what you're after — like a wine list, not a vending machine.
Budtenders as sommeliers
We smell the jars so you don't have to guess.

Green Apple’s budtenders work like sommeliers — reading terpene notes, cultivar lineage, and the freshest lot on the shelf to match you to flower you’ll actually love.
