Zushi
Also known as: Zhushi, The Original Zushi
What is the Zushi strain?
Zushi is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Zushi is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by TenCo (The Ten Co.) from a genetic cross of Original Z (Zkittlez) x Kush Mints. Created by the California-based TenCo breeders (Staks and Gerry), Zushi's rise to fame has been propelled by its award-winning flavors, potent effects, and hype-driven exclusivity, with TenCo's co-founder "Staks," a UK-born cultivator, bringing together European and California genetics to craft terpene-rich strains. The original Zushi strain has spawned many popular variants like Pink Zushi and Blue Zushi, establishing itself as the foundation of an entire family of cannabis cultivars.
The strain inherits its complex genetics from Original Z (Original Zkittlez), an award-winning indica-leaning hybrid known for candy-sweet terpene profiles born from Grape Ape × Grapefruit and an unknown strain, and Kush Mints #11 from Seed Junky Genetics, a balanced hybrid (Bubba Kush × Animal Mints) famed for its minty, cookie-dough flavor and calming potency. The resulting Zushi inherits fruity "Z" terps from Zkittlez and creamy kush gas from Kush Mints. Zushi is generally classified as a hybrid with slight indica dominance, though its effects bridge both uplifting and relaxing qualities, with users reporting a balanced experience: initial energy and focus followed by a soothing comedown, reflecting both parent strains' influence.
