Santa Elena
What is the Santa Elena strain?
Santa Elena is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 21.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and cherry flavor profile.
Santa Elena is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the powerful Blueberry X Dagga Afghan strains. Named for the first discoverer of the Holy Cross in Biblical times, Santa Elena packs a super tasty flavor and soothing high that will ease away any of your day's aches and pains immediately. It has robust leaves and intense greens, where purple tones are evident in its flowers and leaves, especially when exposed to low ambient temperatures. The strain was inspired by one of the corregimientos of Medellín called Santa Elena where the practice of cultivating flowers, blackberries, strawberries, and collecting red forest fruits takes place.
This bud has long and tapered spade-shaped forest green nugs with thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny white crystal trichomes. This bud has a mouthwatering taste of a fruity mojito, with fresh cherries and strawberries galore accented by a punch of mint. The aroma is just as juicy, with touches of woody pine and light florals, too. The strain gives off an aroma and flavor of blueberries and red berries with a hint of minty notes, creating a complex sensory profile that reflects its genetic heritage.
