Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is medium. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Background
The story
“Citrus and spice over herbal earth, a highland Lao sativa.”
The nose is sharp and clean: citrus and spice over an earthy, herbal base. The effect is fast and heady — an energetic, almost buzzy cerebral high with no body, a pure daytime landrace.
It's long-flowering and moderate, a heritage rarity. For old-world Laotian sativa, Luang Prabang is a source.
