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.

Reunion Island is a tiny, remote island, East of Madagascar that boasts anextremely active volcano and large mountain on which Zamal is harvested. Around the middle altitude of this mountain, at the edge of large forested areas, the Zamal reach out, overlooking long white beaches and the crystal clear waters of the reef. The volcanic soil on the island is very fertile, perfect for the Zamal to thrive in abundance and the whereabouts of the purest varieties is a closely guarded secret by the islands oldest growers.

The island has a tropical climate but is moderated by altitude and is home to many insects and birds with the biggest land animal on the island being the Panther Chameleon- an impressively colourful reptile when it wants to be. The reef is home to conger eels, parrot fish, sea turtles and dolphins as well as a large variety of sharks that pose such a threat to humans that there is a ban on entering the waters off more than half the coast. Reunion Island is a melting pot of modern day cultures and nationalities and the plant is cured and consumed the way most modern civilisations do today.

Zamal expresses some of the most impressive Sativa traits known to man and grows with incredible vigour. It is very bushy with extreme branching, highly populated with clusters of colossal size, orange coloured buds that are aflame with red hairs. A fairly long flowering strain, like many African Sativas and preferring outdoor to indoor, it is well worth the wait as it induces a superb, electric high that is slightly unnerving the first time you try it. It has a leafy/earthy, hash smell and a strong woody/spice taste overall but this is uniquely adaptable based on its surroundings. It is said that Zamal has been known to take characteristics from its surrounding habitat and present these in its terpenes. Zamal found among lemon trees can take on lemony characteristics and the same has been said of the plant growing close to mango trees.

It is also told by the islands Keepers that it displays distinct regenerative capabilities- perpetual growth that is not displayed as commonly or successfully in other cannabis lineage making this a very special landrace Sativa indeed.
