The Ten Co in Phuket: Zushi Genetics, Now on the Shelf at Good Kush Bar

If you've spent any time around the Cali weed scene, you already know the name. The Ten Co is the Los Angeles breeder and cultivator behind Zushi, the strain family that turned the exotic flower market on its head and picked up some of the biggest trophies in the game along the way. Now you can find it in Karon, a few minutes from Kata Beach.

Who are The Ten Co?

The Ten Co came out of Los Angeles and built its name on breeding rather than hype. Founders Staks and Gerry spent years working genetics sourced from around the world, and the brand became known for keeping its lineages tightly guarded, releasing a small number of proprietary cuts instead of flooding the market. The result is a catalogue people talk about by name: Blue Zushi, Pink Zushi, Yellow Zushi, Nozu, Tank, and Tenbanger.

Blue Zushi is the one that cemented the reputation. It took the all-around win at the 2023 Emerald Cup, one of California's most respected competitions, and Pink Zushi followed as one of the most sought-after strains in the US that same year, famous for its vivid pink pistils and a lineage the founders still won't disclose.

What is Zushi? Genetics, flavor and effects

Zushi is a cross of Original Z (Zkittlez) and Kush Mints #11. The Zkittlez side brings tropical candy sweetness and serious bag appeal. The Kush Mints side brings a creamy, minty gas backbone and heavy potency. Grind it and the candy opens up into gas and a touch of lemon peel.

The effect is what made it a favorite in LA: a euphoric, heady lift that settles into full-body calm. It's an indica-leaning hybrid that's balanced enough for an afternoon and strong enough that first-timers should go slow. The terpene profile leans on limonene and caryophyllene, which is why the flavor carries through so cleanly from nose to exhale.

Why real Cali imports matter

Phuket has plenty of shops selling flower labelled "Cali." Very little of it came from California. The Ten Co's genetics are closely guarded, which means authentic product arrives in the brand's own sealed packaging, with the batch information intact. That's the difference between a Cali name on a jar and Cali flower in the jar. At Good Kush Bar we bring in authentic Ten Co stock, and we'll show you the packaging before you buy.

Where to find The Ten Co in Phuket

Good Kush Bar is at 119/1 Koktanod Road, Karon, a short walk from Kata Beach. Our budtenders can talk you through what's currently in stock from The Ten Co, and which Zushi cut suits what you're after, whether that's something to unwind with after the beach or a heavier evening session. Stock rotates because imports arrive in limited drops, so message us on WhatsApp to check availability before you come in, or ask us to hold a jar for you.

Pair it with a fresh pack of RAW or Elements papers, a clean glass tip, and you've got the proper way to try one of the most celebrated strains to come out of California.
