About Beldia
Beldia is a traditional Moroccan landrace sativa strain cultivated for centuries in the arid Rif Mountains of northern Morocco. Historically used to make the world's most sought-after blonde hashish, Beldia is a fast-flowering, semi-autoflowering plant adapted to high altitudes and poor soils. The buds are light, airy, and covered in golden resin glands. The aroma is highly distinct, featuring sweet herbal tea, spicy wood, and earthy honey. Its effects are clear-headed, uplifting, and mildly relaxing, providing a gentle cerebral buzz without heavy physical sedation, making it highly prized by traditional hash lovers.
