Z-Unit 90-119u 1st Wash Cold Cure Hash Rosin

Z-Unit is blasting onto the scene with its flashy flavor and knockout effects.

Misty’s Melts might be new to the Maine hash scene, but they produce work like seasoned veterans. This female-owned, small-batch brand takes you to the candy shop with their latest offering, Z-Unit. Washed in-house from 90-119u first pull heads, this selection was bred by New York’s own N.Y.CEEDS — a wild mashup of [Zkittlez x (Zkittlez x (Kosher Kush x OZ Kush)] x Spritzer). With a unique NYC breeder pedigree, the clear nod to 50 Cent’s once-legendary crew in the name hits differently. After testing, tasting and experiencing this cold cure hash rosin, it became clear why Z-Unit is blasting onto the scene with its flashy flavor and knockout effects. 

The bright, pearlescent white rosin has a sharp aroma of sweet berry buttercream with the tiniest hint of sugar rock candy. That richness is cut by shaved citrus peel, bringing a contrast that keeps it from feeling too heavy before landing on a nice grape exhale, courtesy of the Grape Pie from the Spritzer parentage. The initial sharp candy flavor ends with a pleasant berry fruit profile. This lip-smacking, sweet-candy flavor and uplifting high make it easy to go in for another dab, just to chase that flavor one more time. 

The mood-boosting high is potent but not a heavy couchlock experience. A consistent and long-lasting euphoria wraps around the body, melting stress without clouding the mind. Perfect for zoning into your favorite movie, spinning a classic album (author’s picks: Grateful Dead’s 12/19/73 or 50 Cent’s “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”), or, if you’re feeling inspired, getting productive and doing something as exciting as writing a stellar rosin review. 

Misty’s Melts dialed this one in. The texture is perfect. The inhale is silky with no harshness — just a flood of terps that demand attention even on the biggest stage. For a brand just getting started, Misty’s Melts is already starting to put out some heat and is not afraid to make a powerful statement. So if you see this one in a store near you, don’t be a “Window Shopper” and make sure you scoop “Just A Lil’ Bit.”
