Nigerian

Nigerian is a West African landrace that found its way into Amsterdam coffee shops in the 1980s and has never left the collective memory. Originally carried by Afropips before the seed bank folded, it has since been preserved and stabilized by outfits like Khalifa Genetics and ACE Seeds, keeping a legendary equatorial sativa in circulation.

The nose is unmistakable: peppery spice, citrus rind, and earthy musk, with some expressions throwing tropical fruit or hashy incense into the mix. Light it up, and the flavor runs sharp and herbal, like spiced lemon tea with a woody undertone.

The high has a reputation for hitting fast and staying loud. Reports describe an initial jolt of energy that gets bodies in motion and minds racing — the kind of buzz that can turn a quiet morning into an impromptu adventure. After the first surge, it eases into a steady, clear-headed glow that still carries plenty of stamina.

Nigerian isn’t background music, it’s the main act, demanding action and fueling movement from start to finish.
