How to grow Colombian Gold
Seb's take
A landrace out of Santa Marta, Colombia, brought north in the '60s and still one of the genuine classics, patient to harvest but generous once it gets there. Earthy, pungent, lemon, skunk and woody notes on the nose; the high is euphoric, energetic, happy and notably talkative. Crystal-covered and worth the wait.
