Green Tea is a modern hybrid whose precise provenance remains a subject of uncertainty, as its exact origins and breeder history are undocumented. While common lore associates its genetic foundation with Gelato, the specific lineage remains unconfirmed and largely ambiguous within the industry. This lack of a clear pedigree reflects the strain's mysterious background, with no publicly verified breeder records or developmental timeline currently available to clarify its emergence in the contemporary market.
The sensory profile of Green Tea is defined by a complex chemical composition. Its dominant terpene is limonene, followed by caryophyllene, humulene, myrcene, linalool, pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, and terpinolene. Because these findings are confirmed through lab data, the aromatic experience consistently presents as a layered bouquet of these constituents. The strain carries an estimated 22% THC, placing it firmly within a potent range for most users. When cultivated in either indoor or outdoor environments, it maintains a moderate level of difficulty, completing its flowering cycle in 63 days and providing a high yield for successful harvests.
Consumers of Green Tea report a state of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a common choice for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. While it serves as a distinct hybrid in modern circulation, there are currently no recorded or notable offspring attributed to the variety. Its utility is grounded in these specific therapeutic applications, providing a consistent experience for users looking to manage their symptoms through its established cannabinoid and terpene presentation.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
