North American Sativa Strain: Aroma, Flavor & Appearance
These flowers tend to be sativa in nature, although the exact indica to sativa ratio depends on the exact latitude and area in which it grows. North American Sativas typically have an aroma of almost harsh woody earth with a strong spiciness that is released as the nugs are burned. The flavor is just as harsh and can be overwhelming to some users, with an ammonia tar taste that is accented sweetly by pine and herbal tea upon exhale. Visually, North American Sativa buds typically have small to medium-sized nugs in a rainbow of greens, from light minty greens to rich dark olive greens. These nugs often have lots of long curly leaves that are slightly darker than the overall color and a spattering of long thin hairs in deep ambers and bright fiery oranges.
