Vietnam Dalat is a legendary Southeast Asian landrace, native to the lush mountains of the Dalat region of Vietnam. This landrace strain has been carefully preserved for generations and is considered a true genetic treasure for its purity, natural hardiness, and unparalleled aromatic profile.
From the first taste, Vietnam Dalat seduces the senses with an intense and complex aromatic explosion: dominant notes of fresh lime and sweet lemon intertwine with hints of tropical mix, sweet cream, ripe watermelon, and a distinctly floral and subtly pungent base, creating an exotic, fresh, and enveloping olfactory experience. Its unique terpene profile makes it one of the most fragrant and sought-after sativas among connoisseurs and collectors.
When smoked, the flavour is equally impressive: a fragrant and long-lasting fruitiness, with citrus nuances that linger on the palate alongside soft, creamy reminiscences, leaving a delicious aftertaste that invites you to repeat and sample more.
In terms of cultivation, Vietnam Dalat stands out for its natural vigour and adaptability. The plants develop large, dense, and generously resin-coated flowers, accompanied by extraordinary resistance to pests, fungi, and common cannabis diseases, especially in humid environments, thanks to its tropical origins.
During flowering, this strain displays visual expressions as unique as its aroma: some plants reveal a spectacular light green with yellow hues, while others take on deep purple hues, all without losing that constant aromatic presence of sweet citrus and cream that defines it.
One of its rarest and most special phenotypes can take between 18 and 20 weeks to complete the flowering cycle, but the wait is rewarded with a quality that borders on the mystical: a pure, wild, and extraordinary sativa expression.
Vietnam Dalat is not just a cannabis strain; it is a complete sensory experience and a living window to the purest roots of tropical cannabis.
