Paradise Chillema Lemon Mint 200g - Shisha Steam Stones with Lemon and Mint

Paradise Chillema Lemon Mint: tart lemon with a cool, minty freshness, spread over 200 grams of steam stones. The label features lemonade glasses full of lemon, ice and mint, and that image matches the flavor exactly. Fresh, slightly tart and cool, without tobacco in the bowl. A flavor that wakes you up after a heavy meal and cools you down on a warm day.

What is lemon mint shisha?

Lemon mint is one of the best-known fresh combinations in the shisha world. The acidity of lemon and the coolness of mint strengthen each other: the lemon makes the mint livelier, and the mint takes the sharp edges off the lemon. The result is a flavor that feels clean and leaves your mouth fresh. Many smokers reach for lemon mint when they want something light after something sweet.

Lemon Chill: why that name?

Paradise calls the flavor Lemon Chill on the label. That emphasizes the cool feeling the mint gives, more than the mint flavor itself. In practice the profile is what many people know as lemon mint: lemon up front, followed by a fresh, cool finish. Anyone searching online for a lemon mint shisha therefore ends up at Chillema.

What does Paradise Chillema taste like?

The lemon is the first thing you taste. It is fresh and tart, with the scent of freshly grated peel. Then comes the mint, falling over the lemon like a cool layer. The sweetness stays limited, which makes Chillema different from most fruit flavors: it is mainly refreshing. Ideal as a change between two sweeter sessions. Anyone who normally tires of sweet flavors quickly often enjoys Chillema more.

Lemon as a fresh partner

Chillema is not only tasty on its own, but also a strong partner in a mix. With Paradise Twisted you get apple with lemon and mint, a fresh combination that makes the sweetness of the apple lighter. With Paradise Climax it becomes watermelon lemonade. And next to Paradise Grappy you make the well-known grape mint mix, with a citrusy twist.

The Paradise brand

Chillema belongs to the range of Paradise Supplies B.V., a Dutch company. The company uses mineral granules instead of tobacco, and gives them their lemon mint flavor with molasses to its own recipe and aromas. This tub has a nicotine content of 0 mg. Paradise says shisha lounge owners helped think through the flavors.

How to prepare Chillema

Put the granules loosely into a glazed bowl, for example from our ceramic and porcelain hookah bowls; that material does not hold on to old flavor, which is pleasant with a fresh lemon. A bowl with a wide opening works nicely, because you can then spread the granules evenly. Leave a small edge free and do not press the granules down. Cover with foil with fine holes or use a cap.

Choose coals that burn calmly, such as our coconut natural coals. Place two on the rim and wait a moment before you start. The vapor gets going properly after a few minutes.

Acidity and heat

Citrus is sensitive to too much heat. The acidity of the lemon can then turn bitter, and the coolness of the mint disappears. If you notice that, give the bowl some air by removing a coal or placing it further towards the rim. With calm draws and a bowl that is not too hot, Chillema stays fresh and clear.

Pure or as a fresh layer

Smoke Chillema pure and you get one of the freshest sessions in the range. Using it in a mix? Start with a third of the bowl. Lemon and mint are flavor makers: a small amount already gives a lot of freshness. That way you shift a sweet flavor towards light, without it losing its own character.

Storage

Citrus aroma is volatile, so a well-closed tub matters. Close the lid right after every use and keep the tub in a cool, dark place. Do not leave it open in the sun while you smoke either.

Who is Chillema for?

For those who love fresh, for those looking for a change after a sweet flavor, and for anyone who enjoys mixing. If you want to smoke something cooling in summer, Chillema is a regular choice too. Browse the line's other flavors at Paradise Steam Stones, so you easily find a partner for it.
