Where Tea Time Comes From
Tea Time comes from Wizard Trees, a Los Angeles cannabis brand, which released it in 2023 according to Leafly. Leafly and Grow Diaries both give the cross as Zkittlez (often shortened to Z) x RS11. SeedFinder also lists a Wizard Trees Tea Time and notes it has been sold as feminized seeds.
Wizard Trees has used Tea Time in its own breeding. Grow Diaries describes Tea Party as a Wizard Trees cross of Tea Time and Zangria. A separate Tea Time also appears in the catalog of the European seed company Anesia Seeds, which used it as a parent of its Think Tank strain, with a family tree tracing back to Zkittlez-type and RS11 lines. How that seed line relates to the Wizard Trees cut is not documented, so this page focuses on the Wizard Trees original.
Tea Time Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly reviewers call Tea Time mostly energizing, with energetic, happy and uplifted as the top reported effects, and Leafly pitches it as a daytime strain that hits like a very potent hybrid. Grow Diaries describes a similar arc: an early burst of energy and better mood, followed later by physical relaxation.
The labels vary. Grow Diaries calls it sativa-driven, while SeedFinder simply lists it as an indica and sativa cross, which is why we class it as a balanced hybrid. Given the potency claims, start with a small amount and see how the second half of the high lands for you.
Tea Time Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Leafly describes tropical hard candy and tangy sherbet on both the nose and the palate, which fits the Zkittlez and RS11 parentage. Grow Diaries adds a creamy, tropical base held together by a mildly pungent green pepper note. Leafly users also tag blueberry and cheese flavors, which may reflect differences between batches.
We did not find lab terpene data for this strain, so no dominant terpenes are listed.
Side Effects and How to Use Tea Time
Dry mouth is the most commonly reported side effect on Leafly. Beyond that, the main risk is strength: at the higher THC figures some sources report, a heavy dose can feel overwhelming for newer consumers.
If you are new to Tea Time, start with one small inhalation or 2.5 mg in an edible and wait before taking more; see our dosing guide.
Do People Use Tea Time for Medical Reasons?
Leafly reviewers mention reaching for Tea Time for low mood, stress and occasionally insomnia, and Grow Diaries notes that medical users mention insomnia, depression and low appetite. These are anecdotal, self-reported uses.
These are user reports, not clinical findings. For what research actually supports, see our cannabis health and research section, and talk to your doctor before using cannabis for a health condition.
Growing Tea Time
- Flowering: Reported as 8–9 weeks (SeedFinder); some growers report much longer
- Height: Medium
- Environment: Indoor or outdoor
Grow data for Tea Time is inconsistent. SeedFinder lists an 8–9 week flowering time and says it can be grown indoors and outdoors. Grow Diaries describes medium-height plants that are easy to grow with large yields, but its reported flowering time of just over 13 weeks conflicts sharply with SeedFinder, so treat both figures with caution.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients. Check your state in our cannabis laws by state guide before you plant anything.
