Nature created us, California made us
Have you noticed how complicated cannabis has become? All of a sudden, it feels like you have to be an expert to kick back and relax.
With a laid-back line of cannabis gold
At Island, we’re bringing the pure, uncomplicated joy back to cannabis, with a collection of the highest-quality THC products created with the California spirit.
Quality & safety,
01 Appearance
We look for the most beautiful buds, a sign that they’ve been well-cared for throughout the growing process. We make sure every bud has been properly manicured with trimming to ensure there’s no excess leaf or stem material in the flower. We also look for vibrant colors that are consistent in the entire batch and true to their lineage.
02 Aroma
We look for flower with expressive and delicious terpenes, which is what gives the small you recognize. Its distinct scent is reliant on both its genetic and harvest environment, ensuring it was grown and correctly cured. The curing process can take up to three weeks after harvest –allowing for the flower to absorb all the delicious terpenes and essential oils.
03 Flavor
We ensure that each strain has the right terpenes, so you can taste great flavor every time you smoke. This means we only source top shelf flower that have been correctly prepared after cultivation. While minerals are essential to growth, if they’re not removed they make for a harsh and ashy smoking flavor.
04 Structure
We look at the flower’s more technical elements like good moisture content for easy smoking, high trichome production (known colloquially as “frostiness”) for potency, and consistent compact density. These factors help us understand how the strain was cultivated and harvested, ensuring it went through the best care possible.
05 Safety
Each product undergoes three rounds of testing, both by our facilities and third-party labs to make sure it’s pure and perfect before it gets to you. Our tests ensure there’s never any:
- Heavy Metals
- Insecticides
- Pesticides
- Fungus
- Microbials
- Mycotoxins
- Residual solvents
