I know I’m not the only one intrigued by the various island landrace lines, whether Jamaican, Papua New Guinea, St. Vincent, Filipino, Reunion Island, Crete, Madagascar, the list goes on!
Hoping this thread can become another resource for anecdotal reports, pics, leads and research relating to these different gems scattered throughout the world.
Figured I’d kick things off with sharing some pics of the filipino kibungan that is a high elevation variety grown in 50%coco/soil mix. The scent/aroma associated was a tropical pepper, like guava/papaya type - while the effect was a relaxing euphoria, culminating in a tropical head buzz that dissolves any stress you may have had lodged in your head at the time. I will note that the same flower cobbed did provide a very lysergic experience and when masticated/consumed sublingual, then finished off with some milk tea, it was very sublime. Felt much more wholesome, holistic and charismatic/joyful despite difficult circumstances.
If anybody is in contact with preservationists in situ, by all means, please invite them to join our discussions. I have sent out some invitations, we may have some locals dropping in to share their experiences.
