IYKYK: Conscientious Solventless Hash: Rosin Tech Labs
Rosin Tech Labs combines artistry and science to master the craft of solventless hash. This blog captures their commitment to quality, community engagement, and innovative techniques, offering an in-depth look at their journey in redefining hashmaking excellence.
Fueled by a deep affinity for hash, Rosin Tech embarked on a journey into the hash industry. Making the conscious choice to follow a solventless approach, Rosin Tech was founded in 2015 at a time when the concept of solventless extracts was still in its early stages of evolving beyond hair straighteners and parchment paper.
Rosin Tech’s initial goal was to empower individuals to craft their own concentrates within the security and comfort of their homes. Their relentless dedication led them to refine techniques employed by renowned hash artists across the globe, thus becoming advocates for the widespread adoption of live rosin solventless practices.
"Few extraction brands have done what Rosin Tech Labs has done for hash," said Mitch Pfeifer of Respect My Region. “Traveling the world teaching people the importance of solventless, Rosin Tech made a name for themselves by producing hash-making equipment. By 2018 when they put out their first line of products, they were already a household name for at-home squishing. Their concentrates reflect their sheer dedication to solventless and the pioneering they’ve done in the space."
What started as passionately creating stainless steel presses and equipment for rosin making evolved into entering the market themselves. Their unyielding passion for solventless hash drove them to establish Rosin Tech Labs in 2018, marking a new chapter in their hash-related endeavors. This move marked a significant shift, demonstrating their steadfast dedication to advancing the art of hashmaking. This commitment to their craft was infused in every aspect of their venture.
“You have to be part of the community to survive in this industry," said Sam Jurist, owner and CEO of Rosin Tech Labs. “You’ve got to actually be part of it, not fake it. You need to really live it and breathe it. Show up for the community. We really love what we do, so I feel like that comes through in the products that we make.”
Crafting Excellence in Solventless Hash
Hash embodies a way of life. Beyond the lab, the Rosin Tech Labs team extends their devotion to hash by participating in events across California, where they passionately share their hash expertise and enthusiasm. Functioning as hash enthusiasts, educators, and advocates, this dedicated collective of connoisseurs is committed to enhancing the craft of live resin and rosin solventless extraction. Their commitment is evident in the heartfelt approach they take to the creation of every high quality solventless product.
Partnered Together with Passion
The procurement team is tasked with discovering genetics featuring distinct terpene and cannabinoid profiles. Collaborating with esteemed heritage farms renowned for their exclusive strain lineages passed down through generations, they collectively endeavor to continually innovate and explore novel flavor profiles. Rosin Tech Labs has established a strong relationship with cannabis cultivations like LUMA California, Emerald Queen Farms, Valley Grove, Huckleberry Hill Farms, Happy Dreams Farm, and Savage Farms. Above all, these partner farms remain ceaselessly dedicated to seeking out hash-making strains that captivate both hash-makers and enthusiasts.
Thriving within the demanding California industry demands a unique type of farmer. Rosin Tech Labs partners with farms that cultivate cannabis driven by a genuine passion for the cannabis plant, prioritizing its well-being. Each partner farm possesses an exceptional background, boasting unparalleled cannabis flower phenotypes and distinct personalities that set them apart.
Solventless Experience
Rosin Tech Labs production team harnesses the combined powers of water, heat, and pressure to extract the highest levels of flavor and potency for their cannabis concentrates. Never utilizing butane, alcohol, or any unnatural solvents in the creation of their concentrates, their approach is focused on maintaining purity. Guided by these modern, solventless hash-making principles, they are dedicated to curating a Solventless Experience that will leave an indelible impression.
With utmost care, Rosin Tech Labs pours fresh frozen whole plant material into wash buckets. The material, spanning from harvest to consumption, is meticulously washed to extract the complete essence of each cultivar.
Washed with Care
Upon identifying material that exhibits potential quality, the subsequent stage involves test washing. This essential process aids in evaluating the strain's compatibility with ice water extraction before embarking on full-scale production. If a particular strain meets the benchmarks for flavor, potency, and yield while demonstrating commercial viability, the ultimate litmus test entails subjecting it to the meticulous evaluation of the team's discerning palates. Only upon successful completion of this evaluation does the decision to proceed with production take shape.
Rosin Tech Labs’ commitment to maintaining a diverse array of flavor profiles within their menu is unwavering. This drive compels them to engage in a perpetual cycle of testing and washing raw materials, a practice that underpins their continuous pursuit of fresh genetics that can contribute to their evolving selection.
Employing sifters, they isolate the most exquisite trichome heads. Their meticulous selection process ensures that only specific trichome heads are chosen, maintaining the purity of their products by preventing any undesirable plant waste from being included. This stringent approach focuses on washing material within the 73u to 159u micron ranges, as any material below the 73u micron bag size would result in plant waste unfit for consumption.
Mastering the Art of Hash Pressing
The hash pressing process is exclusively conducted using Rosin Tech machines, meticulously crafted by the product development team and continually improved over time in tandem with industry advancements and procedural refinements. The preference lies in utilizing manually operated rosin press stations, a choice that guarantees precise application of optimal heat and pressure across the surface area throughout the procedure. This commitment to manual operation ensures the production of rosin under the correct pressure and heat conditions, a result achieved through the utilization of small batch methods.
