Shade Tree Brick Hash

What is Brick Hash: Brick hash is a traditional style of hash that has been popular for centuries in regions such as Northern Africa, Middle East, and Central Asia. This type of hash is named after its distinctive brick-like shape, which is achieved by compressing the hash into a dense block. Brick hash is typically made using traditional methods, which involve the careful selection and processing of high-quality cannabis plant material. The extraction method: Chilled water extraction is a tried and tested method for effectively separating trichomes from plant material. The cold temperature of the water causes the area between the trichome head and stalk to become fragile, facilitating easier separation and allowing for a more efficient extraction process. The lab team has perfected their water extraction process by eliminating the use of ice. Instead, a jacketed vessel is utilized to keep the water below freezing temperatures. During the extraction process, the chilled water current gently grabs and holds the trichome head without the risk of plant material contamination. The trichome saturated water is then filtered through a sieve. Each sieve bag has a mesh framework that collects trichome heads at their different stages of maturity. During filtration, bubbles will form within the bags. This is why the collected material is referred to as bubble hash. The pressing process: Once the hash is fully dried, it is then compressed into a solid mass, most notably brick shaped. Traditionally, brick hash is produced using a handheld press typically made of wood. The lab team uses a modern mechanical press which applies a great deal of pressure and produces a high quality and consistent product. The pressing process is followed by a period of curing, which allows the hash to be undisturbed and develop its distinctive qualities. Brick hash has a distinctive flavor and aroma, with a rich, earthy taste and a pungent, spicy aroma. Quality Control: The quality control measured used in producing brick hash involves careful attention to detail to ensure that the final product meets the standards of the producer(s), retailers, and consumers. Quality standards are measured by visual inspection, laboratory testing, and sensory evaluation. End-User Experience: One of the most traditional ways to consume brick hash is to crumble a small amount onto a bowl containing milled flower. Vaping is another popular way to consume brick hash. This can be done using a vape device designed for concentrates. Vaping can be a smoother and more flavorful way to consume brick hash, as it may also be less harsh on the throat and lungs. Brick hash can also be consumed by adding it to foods. This can be done by heating the hash in a fat (such as butter or oil) to activate the cannabinoids, and then adding the resulting mixture to a recipe. This may provide a longer lasting and more intense effect than smoking or vaporizing.
