The Tenco
About The TenCo
The TenCo is the brand that created Zushi — the most hyped strain family in modern cannabis. Built by a London-bred hash champion and a San Jose creative director, they fused California genetics with European cultivation craft and Japanese-inspired aesthetics into something that broke the internet. If you’re looking for the tenco weed strains in Thailand, we carry their selection at How High Hub.
The Story Behind The TenCo
TenCo started when Staks, a British-Cypriot who’d been winning hash competitions across Europe since 2011, crossed paths with Gerry, a San Jose-based creative director fresh from WorldStar Hip Hop. They met through a music industry deal in 2019 — Staks needed a designer, Gerry needed fire flower. Staks brought Cookies to Europe for the first time in 2014 and had been perfecting his Zkittlez x Kush Mints cross that would become Zushi. Together they wrapped world-class genetics in anime-inspired branding, limited runs, and cultural collaborations, turning TenCo into a global cannabis lifestyle brand.
Origin: Los Angeles, California. Founded 2019.
What Sets The TenCo Apart
TenCo sits at the intersection of elite genetics and cultural branding in a way no other cannabis company has pulled off. Their Zushi lineage (Zkittlez x Kush Mints) is the foundation, but what sets them apart is relentless phenotype hunting — every new release is a distinct expression of that core cross. The Japanese food-inspired naming convention (Zushi, Wazabi, Chiizu, Kabosu, Black Cod) reflects their attention to craft and the idea that cannabis should be treated with the same reverence as fine cuisine. They grow organically in living soil and release in limited batches.

Budtender’s Take
TenCo is the real deal — when a pack lands on the shelf, it moves fast and for good reason. The Zushi family delivers consistently: clean ash, complex terps, and highs that match the hype. Grab a Blue Zushi or Chiizu before they’re gone. Not the cheapest smoke, but you’re paying for genetics that won Gold at the Zalympix.
