Description
History & Origins
This strain traces its lineage to the remote valleys of the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, a region home to some of the world’s most resilient flora and fungi. Named in homage to the Sherpa people who inhabit the high-altitude environments nearby, Purple Sherpa has developed traits that allow it to thrive in tough, low-nutrient conditions. These environmental pressures have helped shape a genetically strong and adaptable strain.
