Red Lebanese Hash
Lebanese Hash is renowned for its quality and distinct flavor. This premium hash is made from the rugged indica Hash crops that have been harvested, dried, and treated. It is then left to age over one or two whole seasons (4-8 months) which is what sets Lebanese Hash apart from other hash variations. This aging or curing process allows Lebanese Hash to develop very strong spicy and woody notes, along with a smooth flavor.
Types of Lebanese Hash
Lebanese hash comes in two common varieties, blonde (yellow) and red. Though some argue that blonde and red are two separate strains, they are made with cannabis harvested at different stages in the growth cycle. Blonde hash is made from plants harvested early when they are high in THC and produces nice cerebral effects. Red Lebanese hash comes from plants that are a little bit older and are said to contain higher amounts of non-psychoactive CBN, making the effects sedating and highly relaxing.
Cultivation
The most important Cannabis-Fields are located in the valley of Baalbek. The fields are cultivated on a very large scale, many of them using modern machinery. The production is very industrially oriented, tradition is not very involved in the Hash-Business.
Color & Smell
The red in Red Lebanese hash comes from the natural drying and curing process of the raw cannabis plant – cultivators leave the plants on the field until they’re just about ready, and during this process, they acquire a unique red tint from sunlight, and it’s own natural pistils which give off an orange-reddish color. Lebanese hash has a spicy to very spicy, refreshing smell.
