What is the Sweet Tea strain?
Sweet Tea is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and floral flavor profile.
Sweet Tea is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (65% sativa / 35% indica) developed through a collaboration between Cookies and Seed Junkie Genetics. The strain was originally created by crossing California Orange, Alcatraz OG, and Space Queen, with later phenotypes involving a backcross with The Dude (Space Queen). This sophisticated genetic combination results in a strain that exemplifies modern cannabis breeding excellence, offering both recreational appeal and therapeutic potential. The strain's development represents careful consideration of achieving a harmonious balance between potency, aroma, and therapeutic efficacy.
Sweet Tea produces small, round, dense buds that display a vibrant appearance with bright green coloration accented by spots of yellow and vivid orange hairs. The buds are heavily coated in puffy, yellow-tinted trichomes that give the strain its distinctive frosty appearance. The plant itself exhibits typical sativa growth characteristics, growing tall with wide branches and large elliptical leaves, requiring ample space whether cultivated indoors or outdoors. The strain has gained recognition for its intensely sweet flavor profile that mirrors its namesake, combining floral jasmine tea notes with sugared orange undertones and a woody aroma that helps balance the citrus sharpness.
