About Strawberry Guava
Strawberry Guava is a hybrid that crosses Strawberry Banana with Papaya. It gained popularity in California and other US markets for its fruit-salad aroma, and it often shows up on menus alongside other tropical-flavored exotics.
The scent is juicy and sweet, with ripe strawberry up front and a tropical guava and papaya finish. Buds are usually medium-sized and dense, with bright green and purple tones and a thick coat of frosty trichomes. Myrcene adds a lush, ripe fruit depth, limonene brings tangy brightness, and caryophyllene contributes a subtle peppery note.
People often describe Strawberry Guava as happy, uplifted and relaxed. Its balanced reputation means some enjoy it during the day with friends, while others save it for a laid-back evening. THC usually ranges from 20% to 27%, with little CBD, so it can be stronger than the friendly flavor suggests.
Strawberry Guava suits people who love fruity hybrids and have at least some experience with higher-THC flower. Start low, go slow, and check the lab results on the package before you buy. Use WhereLeaf to find Strawberry Guava at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
