About Umpqua
Bred by Arcadia Biosciences, Umpqua is an indica-dominant cultivar resulting from a cross between Sour Diesel Bx2 and Blueberry. Developed specifically as a high-CBD hemp flower, the strain is grown from seed, which results in a variety of phenotypes that exhibit diverse terpene expressions. The name is a tribute to the Umpqua Valley in Oregon, referencing the region's Native American heritage and the "dancing waters" of the local river.
Users report that the experience is characterized by a relaxed state that retains mental clarity, a quality often attributed to its high-CBD content. The flavor and aroma profile is notably complex, combining notes of mango and grapefruit with a distinct cheese funk. These primary notes are balanced by secondary undertones of hops, cinnamon, and chamomile, finishing with a floral citrus quality. The chemical profile is defined by a terpene blend including bisabolol, myrcene, guaiol, caryophyllene, and nerolidol.
