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 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 Zinger reportedly yields a laser like focus. Still having significant Indica ancestry, Zest Zinger is still reportedly helpful in keeping the muscles and nerves relaxed and may be helpful with chronic pain and tension related disorders.
