Tanaosri #1 - Red Star

Tanaosri #1 - Red Star is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its focused effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Tanaosri #1 - Red Star is a rare and historically significant sativa landrace originating from the Tenasserim Hills in Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand. Named after the ancient Malay name 'Tanah Seri' meaning 'Glowing Land,' this strain represents one of Southeast Asia's most culturally important cannabis varieties. The strain was developed by Karen communities and Thai Communist insurgents during the insurgency period beginning in the late 1960s, serving as a vital source of revenue for both groups during their resistance activities in the mountainous Thai-Myanmar border region.

Genetically, Tanaosri Red Star appears to be a cross between a local landrace and Phu Phan Squirrel tail, stabilized in the region during the late 1800s and later crossed with broader-leafed drug-type cultivars brought by the Karen people during their migrations from Yunnan. This unique breeding history has created a strain that exhibits classic Southeast Asian sativa morphology with tall, fast-growing plants featuring long internodal spacing and red-colored stems that give the variety its distinctive 'Red Star' designation. The flowers are notably resinous and aromatic, producing spicy, woody, and citrus-forward terpenes with deep incense undertones that reflect its ancient heritage and adaptation to the humid, monsoonal environment of the Tenasserim Hills.
