Papaya
indicamoderateidentity: medium
Papaya (Nirvana's Papaya) is an indica-leaning cross of Citral and Ice — named for its tropical, fruity nose.
Did you try it?
The Story
“Ripe papaya and mango over an earthy, peppery base, fruity but not candy.”
The nose is sweet and tropical: ripe papaya and mango over an earthy, peppery base, fruity but not candy. The effect is relaxing and calming — a mellow, contented body ease that eases tension and leans toward the couch in larger doses.
It's moderate and comfortable, an unwind-and-relax strain more than a productive one. For people who want a soft tropical-fruit indica, Papaya is a gentle choice.
