This is a new collection from Kumaon's greatest charas region around Nanda Devi: a line similar to, but even better than, the cultivar released as "Pahari Farmhouse". This Nanda Devi cultivar is from a unique valley high in the mountains and has an earlier finishing time and great mold and cold resistance. Above all these plants are uniquely aromatic and have a lovely soaring high.
India's Kumaon Himalaya, formerly a part of the Kingdom of Nepal, is a mountain region which has a long tradition of producing potent charas. Good Kumaoni charas cultivars are vigorous, hardy plants, typically with a Christmas tree growth pattern.
This Nanda Devi cultivar has long slender leaflets and a charming "sativa" appearance. Calyxes are very resinous, with a floral, tangy aroma and herbal, spicy scents.
The best traditional charas twists from the Kumaon region have a very distinctive euphoric effect. This new Nanda Devi line has an uplifting and positive vibe that really stands out. "Sativa" lovers will really enjoy these plants.
