Senpai
Senpai Strain Overview
Senpai is a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed through a collaboration between Umami Seed Co. and Shuga Seeds. The strain was created as a three-way cross combining Zwish x Los Celos (provided by Umami Seed Co.) with Randylosa, resulting in a 70% indica and 30% sativa genetic composition. Senpai was first introduced by Umami Seed Co., a pioneer in the cannabis breeding space, with breeders spending over 3 years in the breeding process, performing more than 150 rounds of crossbreeding and phenotype selection to ensure consistency in quality and effects. The name 'Senpai' was chosen as a nod to the culture of mentorship and respect, reflecting the strain's superior standing among cannabis connoisseurs.
Visually, Senpai exhibits trichome coverage that can reach up to 60-70%, providing a visually appealing shimmer and contributing to its potent resin content. The overall bud structure is compact and heavy, attributed to the indica dominance in its genetic makeup, with connoisseurs comparing its appearance to vintage Russian cherry trees where hints of burgundy and forest green interplay. The strain displays a dominant earthy aroma paired with subtle hints of sweet pine and lavender, which become more pronounced upon breaking the buds apart. When consumed, Senpai buds exude a fruity aroma with hints of diesel, while offering sweet and fruity tastes of grape, mango, pineapple and caramel, complemented by flavors of melon, vanilla and other tropical fruits with a well-marked diesel finish.
