São Tomé

São Tomé – Love of Landrace

This fantastic Sativa originates from the remote island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe off the west coast of Africa, near Gabon and the equator. As far as we know, this is the first cannabis strain from this region on the market. The seeds were reproduced internally by Love of Landrace directly from the original local stock – without modern hybrid influence and without the involvement of external seed companies.

Cannabis probably arrived in São Tomé generations ago via African or Portuguese trade routes. Due to the geographical isolation of the island and the tropical climate, the plant adapted naturally over time and developed into a unique local strain. It is an untamed, unprocessed wild line, so growers should expect variability and unique characteristics from plant to plant.
