About Zoap

Zoap was created by Connected Cannabis (one of the premier California cultivators and breeders) by crossing Zkittlez with Girl Scout Cookies. Unlike the dozens of other Zkittlez crosses flooding the market, Zoap stood out for its unique terpene profile — a distinct floral, soapy, lavender-infused fruitiness that was immediately recognizable. The name 'Zoap' (slang for soap) perfectly captures the aroma. Buds are dense and trichome-heavy with purple and green coloration. Effects are indica-leaning but functional: a relaxing body buzz with clear-headed euphoria. Zoap became a cult favorite among cannabis connoisseurs and won multiple awards.

The Story & Lineage Origin

Connected Cannabis, already known for their premium flower production, released Zoap in 2021 as their flagship in-house bred strain. The strain quickly developed a cult following for its unique 'soapy' terpene profile — a lavender-floral-fruity combination that nobody else was doing.

Zoap won multiple awards including the 2022 Emerald Cup. Its distinctive character made it a sought-after parent for breeding, with Cookies later using it (crossed with Gary Payton) to create Pave.

Zoap demonstrated that there were still genuinely new terpene territories to explore within the Cookies/Zkittlez family.
