Tea Time is Wizard Trees' hybrid of Z and RS-11, released by the Los Angeles breeder in 2023. It is the brand doubling down on the cut that made its name rather than chasing a new lane, and it reached the market twice over: as licensed California flower and as feminized seed. Reported experience starts bright and settles.
Where It Comes From
Wizard Trees built its reputation on RS11, the Rainbow Sherbert selection that became one of the most copied cuts of the early 2020s. Tea Time does not run from that identity. It leans in, adding Z to reinforce the sweet side instead of reaching outside the family for something unfamiliar.
The cross reached consumers on two tracks. Wizard Trees ran it as licensed California flower, and Wizard Trees Genetics released it as feminized seed, where the pack has since sold out. Z and Zkittlez are the same parent under two names: California menus mostly print Z, the seed listing uses Zkittlez.
Both parents are modern. RS11 emerged in the early 2020s and Z has been in wide circulation for years, which puts Tea Time in the current candy-and-cream lane rather than any heritage line. There is no long paper trail on this one because there has not been time for one to build.
The Cross
Wizard Trees holds breeder and brand credit. The direct cross is Z x RS11, which the brand's seed page frames as the ultimate fusion of Zkittlez and Rainbow Sherbert. The stated goal is structural: Tea Time inherits the flower and plant structure of RS11, while Zkittlez brings the candy.
Seed-catalog specs list the release as feminized, flowering in eight to nine weeks, with a medium-to-heavy yield and no strong preference between indoor and outdoor rooms. Buds run green with orange hairs, closer to Z than to RS11's louder color.
RS11's own parentage is commonly given as Pink Guava x Sunset Sherbert. The cut is credited to Deo Farms in Oakland, with Wizard Trees the LA brand that selected it and pushed it into wide circulation. That relationship is why a Z cross to RS11 counts as in-house work rather than an outside collaboration.
Because the release moved as seed as well as flower, the finished product varies more than a clone-only cut would. Two growers working the same pack can land on different expressions. Printed potency belongs to the tested batch and the lab that ran it, never to the cultivar.
What It Left Behind
Tea Time's significance is genetic rather than ceremonial. It is one of the crosses that kept the RS11 family commercially relevant after the original cut saturated California menus, and releasing it as feminized seed let the line travel past Wizard Trees' own gardens and into other breeders' work. No competition placement attaches to it.
The High Rise Take
Tea Time is Wizard Trees' Z x RS11: the brand's signature structure with the candy side turned up, sold as both licensed California flower and feminized seed. Judge it by the package and the batch panel in front of you.
