About Blue Zushi
Blue Zushi is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica / 40% sativa) selected by The TenCo from their proprietary Zushi genetic line—a cross of Zkittlez and Kush Mints. The buds are visually stunning: dense, compact nugs with deep blue and purple hues that emerge under cool temperatures, covered in a thick coat of capitate-stalked trichomes. The aroma is a complex blend of sweet blue raspberry candy, sharp gas, and cooling menthol, with earthy kush and floral notes underneath. The flavor follows: sweet candy on the dry hit opening into rich, earthy kush with a lingering herbal mint finish. Effects are balanced and smooth—a calming, grounding physical relaxation paired with clear-headed mental lift, avoiding both the racy sativa rush and heavy couchlock. Blue Zushi typically tests between 22% and 26% THC.
