What is the African Queen strain?
African Queen is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and floral flavor profile.
African Queen is a sativa-dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) cannabis strain developed by the renowned breeder Fleur du Mal. This celebrated strain represents a sophisticated cross between two classic indoor sativas: Durban, the legendary landrace from Durban, South Africa, and Cinderella 99 (C99), Soul's stabilized sport of Jack Herer. The combination brings together Durban's clear, energizing effects and delicate anise and leather terpene notes with C99's excellent structure, potency, and sweet citrus overtones. Created through over 25 years of selective breeding, African Queen has earned a reputation among connoisseurs for its exceptional quality and potency. The strain produces dense, resinous buds that are heavily coated in milky-white trichomes, with long, thick dark green flowers featuring fiery orange undertones and rich amber hairs. African Queen has gained recognition for delivering a soaring, long-lasting cerebral high perfumed with a spicy floral aroma that suggests sangria or mulled wine, making it a standout strain in the cannabis community.
