Tea Time
Tea Time is a modern hybrid strain derived directly from Rainbow Zkittlez. Developed with a focus on consistent production, the plant carries a moderate difficulty rating for cultivators and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Tea Time is characterized by a specific and layered terpene expression, dominated by caryophyllene and humulene. The aromatic complexity continues through secondary contributions from linalool, limonene, and bisabolol, followed by trace amounts of myrcene, nerolidol, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, and finally pinene. This terpene profile creates a unique sensory experience that reflects the strain's genetic lineage.
As a THC-dominant variety, Tea Time is primarily recognized for its ability to induce effects of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make it a frequent choice for users seeking support with stress management, pain relief, and sleep. Beyond its immediate application, the strain has established a concrete genetic legacy, serving as a parent to notable offspring such as L.I.I.T.

●●○○
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.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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.
