Africa is home to the finest examples of Cannabis Sativa on the planet and our intention is to pass on these pure "foundation strains" to the rest of humanity so as not to lose them forever in a world dominated by hybridised/feminized cannabis varieties. Today's Cannabis has been modified to the extent that many have lost their original mystic and power, giving way to the unnatural demands of today's grower. These modern day strains get nowhere near the purity and clarity of their ancestral family as all of the original "power phenos" are lost within the process of cross breeding and feminising.We are not breeders, we consider ourselves preservationists, and along with passing on these genetics, we also want to share an understanding of where these wild landrace Sativa's grow by detailing the conditions of the area that they are collected. This will give you a higher understanding of each strain and hopefully bring you closer to the plant itself. We hope that the rare phenotypes in each strain will be selected, collected and protected, claiming back the legendary Sativa strains of ancient Africa and the beauty, power and purity that are within them.

This very special Sativa grows at high altitude, in a mountain located in the North-Eastern Cape. It grows within ancient subtropical evergreen forests that nestle on the edges of towering cliffs and within humid mountainous valleys.With beautiful secluded lagoons and views of spectacular coastline not far away this is a very serene and tranquil location. This hot, sticky climate is home to many insects, brightly coloured butterfly’s and birds, monkeys and wild pig. It is also said that the Pondo Kingdom is protected by a blanket of spirits of whose presence is so strong that people visiting the area often describe a common, unnerving feeling, known locally as “Pondo fever”.It is said that spirits will either call to you or reject you immediately. The local tribe is the Pondo tribe and its members known for maintaining unity and building strong connections with their fellow brothers. They believe in sentimental qualities like oneness in diversity, togetherness, love and commitment. This could stem from the consumption of this ancient strain as it does induce a state of peace, tranquillity and compassion when consumed, mirroring its idyllic surroundings. The plant grows tall and is typically Sativa in appearance. A unique trait is that the heavy buds seem to glow with a mysterious light green colour during flowering andIt emits a very focused and clear high- imparting a great sense of respect for all living things. It’s very much a daytime smoke with very little heaviness or drowsiness and smells like fresh zingy citrus, more like sour lime than lemon. It has a sharp, spicy zing on the flavour too combined with an earthy undertone and is dried in huts: hung up to cure in the dark like many other tribes do. Locals infuse the herb with liquids to make teas and even eat the plant raw when being used as a medicine. It is also smoked as part of everyday life in long beaded pipes or wooden chillum-style pipes.
