The Story
“Sweet spice and citrus, a north-east Indian hill sativa.”
The nose is earthy and bright: spice and sweetness with a faint citrus. The effect is energetic and clear — an uplifting, creative head with no body, a pure daytime landrace.
It's hardy and moderate, prized by collectors for its rarity. For old-world northeast Indian sativa, Manipuri is a source.
