About Malawi

Southern African nation Malawi is one of the most prolific grower of cannabis in its region. Primarily produced for (illegal) export, Malawi’s indigenous sativa strain -- known eponymously as Malawi, and sometimes Malawi Gold -- is prized internationally for its complex flavor profile and its strong, intensely cerebral high. Cannabis testing lab Analytical 360 has tested multiple samples of Malawi and found them to have a potency ranging from 14% to 24% THC.

Those familiar with the wispy, elongated buds characteristic of indigenous Thai sativas (sometimes known as Thai stick) will see a similar silhouette in Malawi’s flowers. The mossy green leaves are long and tapered, in contrast to the short and tightly-coiled leaves often seen in Grow varieties and crossbreeds. These leaves cling together in a ragged, fluffy-looking bud structure and are easily torn away from their central stems. A high volume of trichomes also makes Malawi very sticky and difficult to break up without the use of a quality grinder. Malawi’s flowers give off a very sweet, almost candy-like smell, tinged with some berry fruitiness. The subtle aroma of coffee beans is also at play, lending a nutty and toasty character to the bouquet. A subtle lemon scent rounds out this strain’s odor and becomes even more prevalent on the exhale. When combusted, Malawi burns with a smooth and lung-expanding smoke.
