Paradise Bumble B 200g - Wildberry Passion Fruit Shisha Steam Stones with Menthol

Paradise Bumble B: wild berries and passion fruit, with a cool menthol behind them. On the label, a blue planet floats above an island, with the flavor line Wildberry mix, Passion fruit, Menthol below it. The tub contains 200 grams of steam stones, and no tobacco.

What does Paradise Bumble B taste like?

You taste the berries first: dark, sweet and a little wild, think of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries mixed together. Then the passion fruit joins in, with a tropical and slightly tart touch that breaks the sweetness. The menthol closes and leaves a cool impression behind. It is a flavor with lots of color, but without one fruit drowning out the rest.

What is a wildberry mix?

Wildberry simply means wild berries, often sold as forest fruits. A wildberry mix is therefore not a single fruit, but a combination of different berries. That makes the flavor fuller and more layered than, for example, blueberry alone. In shisha, wildberry is a popular base, because it pairs nicely with both tropical fruit and mint.

Passion fruit shisha with a twist

Passion fruit is one of the most popular tropical flavors in the hookah, and is often searched for as passion fruit shisha. On its own it is fresh and tart. In Bumble B it gets company from the berry mix, which makes it rounder and sweeter. That way you get the tropical side of passion fruit, without it turning sharp.

Bumble B or Love 99?

Paradise Love 99 contains passion fruit too, but it adds melon and the flavor ends with peppermint. Bumble B opts for berries instead of melon, and for menthol instead of peppermint. If you want it sweeter and summery, Love 99 fits; if you are looking for a deeper, fruity mix, Bumble B is the better choice.

Bumble B or Amigo?

If you are mainly after berry, you will also come across Paradise Amigo. Amigo revolves around one kind of berry, the blueberry, and has no menthol. Bumble B blends several berries and adds passion fruit and menthol. That makes Amigo purer and sweeter, and Bumble B more layered and fresher.

The role of menthol

Menthol gives Bumble B a fresh finish without the flavor becoming ice-cold. It cools the vapor just enough to keep the sweet berries light, even during a longer session. Want more cold? You can always put a fresh flavor next to it.

Mixing with Bumble B

Bumble B is a good base for your own combinations. With Paradise Amigo you put extra emphasis on berry, and with Paradise Chillema you add lemon and mint for a fresher bowl. Into tropical? Combine it with Paradise Miracle Blast for a mix of berries, passion fruit and mango. Use two sections in the bowl, so you keep tasting both flavors well.

Paradise from the Netherlands

Bumble B is a flavor from Paradise Supplies B.V., a brand with its home base in the Netherlands. The granules in the tub are mineral and are enriched with the brand's own molasses and aromas, so no tobacco is involved. The brand says lounge owners helped think up the flavors. The nicotine value: 0 mg.

How to prepare the bowl

For a colorful flavor like this, a ceramic or porcelain bowl is a nice choice, because it spreads the heat evenly. If you still need one, the ceramic and porcelain hookah bowls are a good place to start. Put the granules into the bowl to just under the rim and let them lie loose.

Put foil with small holes over it or use a heat management device. Choose natural coconut coals, for example the Babylon coals, and start with two pieces at the edge of the bowl.

Keeping it fresh and fruity

With too much heat, the berries become heavy and the fresh side of the passion fruit disappears. So keep a calm pace and give the bowl a rest between draws. Still tasting something burnt? Then take a coal off or turn it a quarter.

Getting the most out of the flavor

After placing the coals, let the granules warm up calmly before you take the first draw; that way the berry mix opens up better. After that, take calm, long draws. Smoking with several people? Passing the hose around then gives the bowl a pleasant rhythm by itself.

Storage

Close the tub right after every session, so moisture and flavor stay in the granules. Then put it out of the sun, for example in a cupboard.

Who is Bumble B for?

For smokers who love berries and appreciate a tropical side, and for everyone looking for a fresh fruit mix that is not too cold. Bumble B is an easy flavor for beginners too: recognizable, fruity and soft. Curious about the rest? At Paradise Steam Stones you will find every tub of the brand.
