East Africa Genes was launched in 2020 because I love collecting African landrace strains. It’s the only seedbank that provides growers with a full menu of landrace sativa varieties found in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Malawi.

Some of the most popular African sativa varieties you’ll find are

  • Ethiopian Shashamane

  • Kilimanjaro sativa aka Elephant Stomper

  • Malawi Gold

  • Migori sativa - originates from western Kenya and has a special function during annual bull fighting tournaments.

Here’s the menu to the landrace sativa varieties available on retail and wholesale prices.

The Ethiopian Shashamane originates from central Ethiopia. @Upstate has posted it on Overgrow and a few other members.

It produces a strong cerebral highness and some people believe that it might be related to the Lamb’s Bread. The buds have a combination of a spicy mango and earthy tastes.

Here’s a blog post that explains the origin and characteristics

Landrace varieties are so fascinating to me. I really admire folks that keep them alive as they often aren’t the fastest or highest yielding. Just the history attached to them is enough to keep me hooked. Really it’s the history of humankind moving around this massive blue sphere. I recently was blessed w some Angola Red from @420noob and I really can’t wait to give them a whirl. I will watch closely and I’d love to learn more!

The Freakers ran this one for Preservation. I’m having a brain fart right now and I can’t remember who ran it. Oh, here it is…

I did smell Mango on one Lambsbread plant…and Shashamane can be Mango…but the structure is different. If I had to guess, I’d say there is some influence from the Middle Eastern genepool, as well as the potential influence of Jamaican ganja, and certainly Local African influence.

Last time i was there i was interacting with some rastas a bit. Are they the ones to go to for good landrace, or no?

I am hoping to come across a farmer who grows their own for medicinal or head stash
