Brazil - Sativa

Brazil - Sativa is a groundbreaking strain developed by the renowned team at Original Strains. This innovative breeder has long been celebrated for pushing the boundaries of cannabis genetics, and Brazil - Sativa is no exception. The strain is the result of an intentional cross between traditional Brazil Sativa and South Indian Indica, producing a balanced 60:40 sativa/indica ratio. It's believed that the first hemp and marijuana plants arrived in the 16th century, carried by enslaved Africans brought to work on Brazil's sugar plantations. Over the centuries, these early plants naturalized in Brazil's tropical climate, particularly in the northeastern states, evolving into distinct local varieties. One such variety became known as "Manga Rosa" (Portuguese for "pink mango") – the Brazilian Sativa landrace celebrated for its fruity aroma and potent effects.

What truly put this Brazilian landrace on the global map was its role in breeding the legendary White Widow. In the 1990s, Dutch breeders crossed a Brazilian Sativa landrace with a South Indian indica to create White Widow, a strain that would become world-famous. Brazil - Sativa stands out with its visually arresting appearance that reflects both its exotic origins and modern cultivation techniques. The buds are typically vibrant green with distinctive undertones that suggest the natural environment of Brazil. A closer look reveals intricately patterned pistils and a fine layer of trichomes that give the buds a frosty, crystalline finish. Such careful documentation through genetic sequencing and rigorous phenotypic selection has elevated Brazil - Sativa as an exemplary model of cross-continental breeding excellence.
