Manga Rosa
Also known as: Magna Rosa, Pink Mango
What is the Manga Rosa strain?
Manga Rosa is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Manga Rosa, also known as Magna Rosa or 'Pink Mango' in Portuguese, is a pure Brazilian sativa landrace strain that originated from seeds brought to Brazil by enslaved Africans during the Portuguese colonization period between 1500-1700. By the 1970s, this pure Brazilian sativa had firmly established itself in local cannabis culture as one of the purest strains of cannabis in the country, particularly symbolic in the Northeast of Brazil where it represents local history, struggles, and ancestry. What truly put this Brazilian landrace on the global map was its significant role in breeding the legendary White Widow strain. In the 1990s, Dutch breeders crossed a Brazilian Sativa landrace with a South Indian indica to create White Widow, making Manga Rosa one of the parent strains of this world-famous variety.
This strain is considered a dominant sativa, with some believing it is 100% pure sativa, which is extremely rare in modern cannabis genetics. The strain gets its distinctive name from the pink mango fruit that thrives in northeastern Brazil, known for its sweetness and juiciness, as Manga Rosa exhibits a remarkable mango-like aroma that fills the environment when the cured buds are consumed. In milder temperatures, it can develop purple or pink leaves and flowers, which is another reason for its evocative name. The strain produces resinous, fox-tail-shaped buds with orange to light red hairs and is prized for its complex terpene profile and uplifting effects.
