About Lemon Haze

Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid that emerged from the haze breeding lines in the Netherlands, selected for a pronounced lemon citrus expression. The buds are elongated and fluffy in the classic haze style, light green with orange hairs and a moderate trichome coat. The aroma is intensely lemon-forward — bright, zesty, and sweet with underlying notes of earth, pine, and spice characteristic of the haze family. The flavor is pure lemon citrus with a sweet, peppery finish. Effects are classic sativa: uplifting, energetic, and creative with a clear-headed focus that makes it popular for daytime use. Lemon Haze became a staple of coffee shops and dispensaries worldwide and is a parent to the famous Super Lemon Haze.
