Malawi Gold
Malawi Gold is the Southeast African landrace sativa long considered one of the purest African sativas in international circulation, traditionally pressed into cobs and cured underground in its native terroir.
Aroma is dry earth and tropical spice with a citrus top note and an herbal exhale, the unmistakable East African profile. Pinene and terpinolene lead, with limonene support. Rarely shows up unmixed on modern menus, though specialty seed banks and a handful of cup-circuit cultivators carry selected lines for adults 21+ exploring African landrace genetics.
