Lebanese red hash | tale of two strains  is an incredibly pure form of hash, which is made from the trichomes of the cannabis plant. This hash is made by hand in the Bekaa Valley region of Lebanon. It is a very thick and dense concentrate that can be used in a number of different ways, from infused joints to vaporizers and bowl toppers.

It has a unique reddish hue due to the production process and the age of the cannabis plants used to produce it. The process of making lebanese hash differs from other countries that make it, in that the plants are left on the field longer to allow for more natural maturation and the trichomes will naturally acquire a red tint through sunlight and also orange-reddish colouring from the plant’s own pistils.

Cultivators will collect these trichomes from the raw plants and press them together using silk-cloth, which helps to remove any excess chlorophyll (the green colour) and create a pure and consistent hash product. This is then sifted using mesh cloths with varying pore sizes and graded by quality.

The final result is a fully cured, pure lebanese red hash that can be used with any extraction method, from a dry herb grinder or hash bowl to a dab rig. Its flavour is earthy and refreshing and when smoked it provides a powerful cerebral high. This is the opposite of the blonde lebanese hash which tends to have a more sedating effect and can be quite heavy in body stone.
