What is the Angola Red strain?
Angola Red is a sativa cannabis strain, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Angola Red is a rare African landrace sativa strain with origins tracing back to Angola, with a history dating back prior to Portuguese occupation of the region, which began in 1575. This strain was developed and preserved by the Brazilian Seed Company, which has built a reputation for maintaining traditional sativa genetics while incorporating traits unique to African landraces. Studies indicate that the parental strains may contain between 60-75% sativa genetics, ensuring that the high-energy, uplifting traits remain dominant. Angola Red represents one of the rarest and most sought-after landrace varieties, with some hypothesis that the red strains of Central and South America descended from Angola Roja. The strain is characterized by its distinctive red and pink stems, earning its name from these unique physical features. Seven phenotypes have been observed in this sativa from Angola, two of them with reddish-pink stems, with large, very aromatic and sweet calyxes. This landrace variety has adapted to harsh African conditions and demonstrates remarkable resilience to humidity, drought, and extreme growing conditions.
