The Zoap is a balanced hybrid created by the breeder Deep East (Deo Farms), based in Oakland, California. It was created by crossing a Rainbow Sherbet and a Pink Guava, it quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after strains on the recent American cannabis scene, before gaining prominence in Europe.
Its THC content can reach up to 29% depending on the phenotypes grown, making it a potent strain best suited for experienced users.
A genetic lineage spanning several generations
What sets Zoap apart is the complexity of its family tree. It all begins with the’OZ Kush (Eddy OG x Z) by Dying Breed Seeds. Deo Farms selected certain phenotypes of this OZ Kush to create its own Pink Guava. The latter was then crossed with the Sunset Sherbet, giving rise to the «RS» (Rainbow Sherbert) lineage. A Los Angeles-based grower, Wizard Trees, selected the RS#11 and RS#54 phenotypes, while Deo Farms took the RS#16 and backcrossed it with the original RS line. It was this last cross that produced Zoap.
Doja Pak also helped market and popularize this exotic variety (among others, such as the Zkittlez or the Permanent Marker) on a global scale
This multi-step lineage explains the variety's rich aroma, which it inherits from several strains renowned for their sweet and fruity profiles (Sherbet, Guava).
Aromas and Flavors of Zoap
Zoap has a sweet, floral aroma, with characteristic, slightly soapy notes—which gave it its name—softened by an earthy undertone. Some phenotypes cultivated by other breeders develop more pronounced cherry and citrus notes, with a sweet-tart finish. This aromatic variability is common in genetics derived from Sherbet strains.
What effects can we expect from the Zoap?
The high comes on quickly, marked by a wave of euphoria and positivity. The effects then settle into a relaxed and cheerful state, often accompanied by an increased appetite. This balance between mental stimulation and physical relaxation makes it a versatile strain, suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on the dosage.
Medically speaking, Zoap is sometimes used to relieve chronic pain, stress, depression, and nausea.
