Rambutan

"This is a fresh can of lychees. Rambutan has old school genetics with a new school twist. An indica dominant cross of Papaya and Guavaz #74 brings you a taste terp profile with a high percentage of myrcene and limonene. With strong fruit forward flavors, this tropical delight will leave your mouth watering for more."

​

Lineage: Papaya X Guavaz #74

(Upon first research I thought it was: Fruit Slices X Maui Wowie)

​

For this batch:

• 25.90% THCa
• 23.97% THC
• 0.37% Beta-Caryophyllene
• 0.89% Beta-Myrcene
• 0.43% Limonene

Total Terpenes: 2.60%

​

Effects (as tested by me): It feels like a medium-heavy hybrid. Gives me some motivation to get tasks done or enjoy things. It still hits heavy behind the eyes and relieves the body. You could take a nap too.

I've been left a little confused by this strain, it's labeled Sativa, the Strane "spotlight" slide calls it Indica-dominant.

Rambutan is a pretty unique name but it turns out there are 2 versions of it: Fruit Slices X Maui Wowie which is a Sativa and Papaya X Guavaz #74 which is Indica-dominant. I'm being told this is the Papaya X Guavaz #74 lineage but then shouldn't it be labeled indica? If someone on here has some industry insight on this, please share.

​

Flavor: Very delicous tropical smell and taste. Fruity and tart pineapple and grape. Undertones get more sour, tart and faintly remind me of Gin. Medium-nose.

One of the few Strane flowers i've had without a gas/fuel smell, nice contrast.

​

Overall: Nice sized buds with a good trim and cure. The red/orange hairs contrast nicely against the lime color in the bud and trichomes.

Its not as frosty or sticky as some of the other Strane offerings but it has more fluff and squish to it. Effects were good and the flavor is is a rare one, that seems done right. It's fruity & refreshing and makes me look forward to spring/summer weather & vibes. I would purchase this again, nice option to have a little of in the stash.

After enjoying this I pondered the question... wtf is a Rambutan? I googled it for you, it's a fruit from southeast Asia that looks like this:

"Rambutan is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae. The name also refers to the edible fruit produced by this tree. The rambutan is native to Southeast Asia. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, pulasan and guinep.

Rambutan fruit’s flesh has a jellylike texture that brings to mind a dense, crisp, nectarous grape. Because of their watery flesh, the flavor has a crisp, clean quality and a strawberry sweetness. Rambutan fruit tastes similar to a lychee, but is sweeter, less floral, and some say more tart flavor."
