In the world of cannabis, every genetic or flower strainhas something unique to offer, but Harlequin has managed to stand out especially among CBD connoisseurs and aficionados. Not only is it a strain known for its balance, but it also possesses a complex and highly prized aromatic profile. Despite having a moderate CBD level compared to other strains, Harlequin has earned a preferential place among users who are looking for more than just high percentages: they are looking for quality and a rich sensory experience. Below, we tell you in depth what makes this genetics so special and how our La Cordobesa buds from this genetics offer exceptional value.
The charm of a nuanced aroma: citrus, floral and relaxing.
One of the main reasons why Harlequin is so popular is its combination of aromas. When you open the package of our La Cordobesa Small Buds Harlequin Variety, the first thing you will notice is an explosion of citrus notes that immediately evoke freshness and fruity aromas. These soft and well-balanced notes are combined with a subtle floral background that enriches the sensory experience.
This scent is perfect for relaxation, whether at home, in the moments leading up to a meditation session or simply to accompany you as you unwind after a long day. The citrus notes have the ability to revitalize, while the floral notes bring that softness that invites calm.
A moderate CBD with great quality: the experience is in the balance.
One of Harlequin's greatest qualities is its moderate CBD level (5.17%), which, rather than being a disadvantage, offers a perfect balance for those seeking a more nuanced experience. High CBD concentration does not always translate into a better experience, especially when the goal is to appreciate the aromatic and sensory nuances of cannabis as a whole. The entourage effect, which involves the interaction between cannabinoids and terpenes, plays a crucial role here: a moderate CBD level allows other compounds, such as terpenes, to shine more brightly, resulting in a more balanced and richer experience. This approach makes Harlequin an ideal choice for those who value sensory quality and overall well-being without relying exclusively on CBD concentration.
At La Cordobesa, Harlequin is a feminized strain, carefully bred and selected to ensure that each bud maintains that perfect balance. Its flowering period ranges between 8 and 9 weeks.
Small buds, but with a lot to offer
Often, the size of the buds can lead to misinterpretations about their quality. However, in the case of La Cordobesa, our Harlequin minibuds, although smaller, are proof that size is not everything. These small buds have been carefully selected to offer exceptional aromatic potency and an attractive visual appearance.
The compact size of the buds makes them easy to use in a variety of aromatic applications. In addition, their appearance is highlighted by the vividness of their colors and the freshness of their resin, which keep intact all the characteristics of the Harlequin genetics. In short, these small buds offer a concentrated and sophisticated sensory experience.
If you still prefer the standard size, in our Generosa Tradicional you will also find the Harlequin genetics, at a fantastic price, regardless of the weight you choose.
The tradition and the genetic value of Harlequin
Harlequin's success is no coincidence. Its genetics is an exquisite blend of landrace varieties (cannabis strains native to different regions of the world) that bring very definite characteristics to this variety. We are talking about a hybrid strain with origins in Colombian Gold, Nepalese Indica, Thai Sativa and Swiss Sativa, which gives it a diverse and rich genetic heritage. This mix not only gives it its unique aromatic profile, but is also responsible for its cannabinoid balance.
Our La Cordobesa buds made from these genetics capture the best of this lineage. Each bud is a living example of how Harlequin has evolved to offer a complete sensory experience, suitable for both cannabis connoisseurs and those new to the world of CBD who are looking for a reliable and balanced product.
It's not marijuana, it's CBD
Like all our flowers, the Harlequin variety comes from industrial hemp crops with seeds certified by the European Union, so they are completely legal products cataloged for aromatic or external use and not suitable for human consumption. Industrial hemp is a variety of the Cannabis plant (predominantly Sativa) characterized by its high level of CBD and low level of THC, which is the psychoactive component of the plant. Therefore, our CBD flowers have no psychoactive effects: their THC level will always be lower than 0.3%, as required by the Spanish legislation. You can see the values of all its cannabinoids in the third party analysis available in the product sheet.
