About Papaya
Papaya is an indica-dominant strain bred from Citral #13 and Ice #2 by Nirvana Seeds. It's been a staple in Amsterdam coffee shops for years before making its way into the American legal market. The name perfectly describes the flavor: sweet, tropical papaya with a hint of mango and a subtle earthy finish.
The effects are classic indica: deep body relaxation, stress relief, and an overall sense of contentment. THC levels range from 20% to 25%, providing reliable potency without being overwhelming. The high starts with a gentle euphoria that quickly transitions into physical comfort and, eventually, sleepiness. It's not a strain for productivity or social energy.
We carry Papaya at Jungle Kingdom Flower for customers who want a tropical-flavored indica that doesn't compromise on potency or effects. It's a particularly good recommendation for consumers who find earthy or diesel-flavored strains unappealing but still want strong indica effects. Visit us at either Brooklyn location and ask our budtenders about current availability.
