About Yellow Zushi
Yellow Zushi is an indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 60% indica / 40% sativa) from The TenCo's Zushi series, crossing Zkittlez with Kush Mints #6. The buds are dense and squat with a distinctive forest green and bright yellow-green coloration, thin orange hairs, and a thick coating of white crystal trichomes. The aroma is immediately striking: sweet and sour lemony citrus bursts from the bag, followed by spicy menthol, creamy gas, and floral flowers. The flavor is a complex mix of sweet tropical fruit candy, pine, creamy mint, and diesel. Caryophyllene and limonene dominate the terpene profile. Effects are more functional and uplifting than the other Zushi variants: a clean, focused head buzz that enhances productivity and mood, followed by gentle physical relaxation. Yellow Zushi is the best-selling strain in the TenCo Zushi lineup in many markets.
