Malawi Gold is a strain from an unknown breeder, a pure Sativa. Malawi is a country in South Africa known for the fertility of cannabis. At first, they distributed Malawi marijuana (the parental Malawi Gold strain) illegally. But now, cannabis is well valued internationally for the taste and the high that suits both novice and experienced smokers. Caryophyllene gives weed a sharp, tea-like flavor. Carene is responsible for the pungent herbal notes. But myrcene, caryophyllene, and carene together create a unique sweet berry flavor. Some users have also noted lavender and peach flavors.
