Badder | The Zest

The word "Zest" is a noun used to describe a food ingredient, referring to scraping the peel of citrus fruits. It is also a verb, describing enthusiasm or energy. Both meanings are quite fitting for this uplifting sativa with a zesty-orange flavor. It is believed that Zest was originally bred by NorStar Genetics by crossing Cali Orange Skunk with Alcatraz OG.

The aroma and flavor is rich, with orange-citrus and cedar, and leaves a spicy-ginger aftertaste.

The dominant terpene, Limonene, not only is believed to be the one responsible for the zesty-orange flavor, but experts believe it is in part responsible for the reported energetic cerebral blast users are feeling. User's desiring more concentration take note, as Zest reportedly yields a laser like focus. Still having significant Indica ancestry, Zest is still reportedly helpful in keeping the muscles and nerves relaxed and may be helpful with chronic pain and tension related disorders.

Bred by Wolf Genetics, Lemon Zest (also known as Lemon Butter) is a sativa-heavy strain with undisclosed origins. Carrying an aroma that the breeder describes as “zesty goodness,” Lemon Zest is said to have a flavor profile that fuses forest fruit, citrus, hash, and butter into a delightfully pungent smoking experience.

Wolf Genetics claims that its Lemon Zest plants will yield massive, dense buds with tightly packed calyxes over a 55-to-65-day flowering cycle. These skyscraping colas appear to be drenched with frosty trichomes and wispy, amber-colored stigmas. According to the original breeder, effects of Lemon Zest are reported to be both cerebral and creative, making it an appealing option for daytime use.
