How to grow Orient Express
Seb's take
Vietnam Black and China Yunnan meet in a plant that keeps the height sensible while the aroma runs wild — wood, floral and earth, deep and organic like rainforest incense. The high is social, relaxed and happy, warm and clean rather than overstated. A fine choice for small gardens with sativa ambitions.
