Quality

At the end of the day, it's all about the stuff in the jar. The true connoisseur doesn’t care about the hype. We just need to know that the product in our hands represents the finest expression of the plant we love. Our meticulous commitment to excellence at every stage of our unique process allows us to guarantee satisfaction with every session. 

Consistency

Being the best isn’t a part-time job. You need to know you’re buying the finest nugs every time you shop. Our relentless attention to every detail is a full-time commitment.

Legacy

Over the decades, we’ve discovered that there are no shortcuts to consistent excellence. There are no substitutes for earned experience. We’ve been perfecting our craft since the dark ages of prohibition, and we believe it is crucial to leave a legacy that preserves the craft and culture we love.

OUR PROCESS

  • Artisan Genetics

    Whether pheno-hunting for the newest, most exciting terpene profiles or pulling a classic off the shelf like a favorite old record, the process begins with strain selection. We cultivate a mix of classic strains and cutting-edge genetics. When we grow the classics, we honor our roots and draw from our deep experience with these staples that we know like old friends. By seeking out the newest, most innovative strains, we continue to learn and push the boundaries of the possible, bringing connoisseurs the unique flavors and experiences they’re searching for.

  • Craft Cultivation

    Once the strains have been selected, craft cultivation means bringing each strain to the fullest expression of its potential. We believe that mastery is a mixture of art and observation. We must first be keen observers of the plant. Then, we can draw on our experience and expertise to provide it with the perfect environment. With just the right mixture of elements, provided at just the right moment, each plant can fully flower into the greatest possible expression of its genetic potential.

  • Trichome Preservation

    Our cultivators and trimmers are trained as cannabis estheticians, ensuring each bud makes it to the jar glimmering with crystals. We handle each precious nug with care at every stage, holding the plant delicately by the stem whenever we interact with it. The trichomes are where the magic happens, so we build time into our process to ensure the magic makes it into every jar.

  • 3-Step Quality Control

    At every step, as the buds are harvested, cured, trimmed, and packaged, our painstaking QC team meticulously examines every nug for any defects or contamination.

  • UV Resistant Jars

    Our signature opaque black jars stop UV light from destroying THC and preserve the flower’s form, integrity and trichomes. A reusable press-on seal preserves the internal environment of the jar to lock in freshness, prevent oxidation and keep your flower in its optimal condition.

  • Sustainable Design

    At every step, we seek to minimize waste and maximize water and energy efficiency, always searching out new and innovative ways to minimize our environmental impact.
