Purple Nepal

Available at various access points throughout Washington State.

There’s something to be said about nice, dark purple buds, like this Purple Nepal from Mana Gardens. The contrast between the fine but plentiful light orange hairs, and the dark green undertones on the neatly-trimmed sugar leaf is stunning. Purple Nepal is a cross between an original strain from Nepal, and Lemon Thai. Whatever it was exactly that was mixed with the Lemon Thai, produced a flower so aromatic and complex you have to smell it to believe it. Once the sweet fruity aroma hits you, you know you’re in for a treat. And after we inhaled this flower using a water pipe and vaporizer, it did the trick. This indica-dominant strain provides a tranquil and joyful experience, but it’s still clear-headed. While some indicas can overpower more moderate cannabis users, this strain seems like it would be suitable for anyone in the right environment. And for moderate to serious cannabis users, Purple Nepal is totally appropriate for undertaking some daytime activities, such as exercise, light housework and relaxed artistic work.
