Purple Hindu Kush.
Purple Hindu Kush combines Hindu Kush with Purple Afghani. Its reference profile describes lavender-colored flowers, orange hairs, and a conspicuous resin coating. Sour grape and citrus provide a brighter contrast to the earth and wood in reader flavor reports, which accompany frequent descriptions of relaxation and sleepiness.
