About Swazi
Swazi cannabis grows across the hills of Eswatini, the small landlocked kingdom in Southern Africa. The plants are classic equatorial sativas: tall, lanky, with long, spear-shaped buds. Swazi is renowned for its sweet floral and earthy aroma with hints of tropical fruit. The high is clear, energetic, and long-lasting — typical of the best African sativas. Swazi cannabis was traditionally exported throughout Southern Africa and gained an international reputation through the global cannabis seed trade.
