The award-winning team at High Road in Maine is back with another standout offering that smells and looks amazing and smokes really well. If chasing the Z wave is where your flavor profile is, this one might be your great white whale. The intense flavor crashes down on top of your taste buds in a way that will flood your brain with good feelings and energy. I was lucky enough to sample a few jars during a recent dinner with the High Road team and was really impressed by the quality of this particular selection.
Zsunami #17 is a stellar cross from Archive Seed Bank that combines their Zazul #5 with Moonbow 112 F2 #60, and this hash leaves your mouth washed with Zkittlez terps from both sides of the lineage. The potent Z isn’t watered down in flavor, but it instead packs the punch of its Moonbow 112 lineage, leaving you so stoned that you feel that floating sensation without sacrificing any flavor. Meanwhile, the potent high leans on the indica side but doesn’t knock you out. Users can expect a pleasant, full-body warming and numbing high that elevates their mood and sparks creativity.
I asked Rob Thibodeau, owner of High Road, what makes the strain so special. “Our Zsunami #17 is the conclusion of a 120 seed pheno hunt conducted in the winter of 2024. The genetic not only grows well, but naturally makes six-star melt,” he said. “Aromas and flavors come in waves of island fruits, with big notes of mango, pineapple, cream and Z. After a year-plus on the market, Zsunami #17 is a front-runner in the genetic pack that we’ve become very fond of.”
So, if you’re looking for a delicious and exciting terp adventure, don’t be afraid to jump into the deep end, take a big glob and ride the wave of good vibes from this fire jar. If you’re like me and appreciate great Z terps, Zsunami #17 from High Road may just be the next big wave you should try to catch.
