Johaar

A heritage cultivar originating from the Johaar Valley in eastern Kumaon, situated along the historic India-Tibet trading pathway in the Himalayan region. Local growers value this variety for its versatility, delivering three valuable harvests: abundant fiber, productive seed generation, and potent resin production. This represents a unique regional landrace with notable parallels to RSC's 'Kumaoni' offering. Like the Kumaoni strain, this cultivar maintains strong genetic integrity with minimal risk of cross-pollination from contemporary Western-bred varieties. The resin profile delivers the distinctive warm, uplifting sensations characteristic of authentic Himalayan charas traditions.
