Our team of passionate growers have honed their craft over these decades, gaining the knowledge share of generations of BC growers.
Grown with glacial mountain water and hand-crafted care, the cannabis produced in this spiritual place is something to be revered. The Qwest Estate is home to Qwest, Qwest Reserve and Qwest Special Reserve.
Built in partnership with the Thunderchild First Nation in Battleford Saskatchewan, Thunderchild Cultivation is home to our Qwest, Qwest Reserve and Blendcraft by Qwest products. The facility features 20 small batch grow rooms following the same, hands-on, high standard craft cannabis cultivation as at the Qwest Estate: small batch, hang dried, hand trimmed, top cuts.
Growing high-caliber flower requires tailoring our process from one cultivar to the next. We carefully monitor and attend to the needs of each individual plant - growing in small batches allows us to maintain this level of care.
- We pour over our flower to inspect, and hand pick the best buds from each of our lots. This means only worthwhile flower in every hand-packed jar.
- We hang dry and dry trim. This ensures the buds are not overly handled, protecting those hard won trichomes and delivering top cannabinoid potency. As the plants dry, the chlorophyll fades away which results in a frosted, beautiful bud and a clean, smooth, flavourful burn.
- We individually hand-trim each and every bud. This level of quality control ensures the strains unique characteristics stand out.
- We don't use shake or trim - all Qwest Family pre-rolls contain only the best bud. Each whole flower pre-roll passes through a set of human hands to be twisted and weighed for extra attention to detail. We believe this level of care translates into a better consumer experience.
- We honour the whole-plant from cure through to extraction. As with our cultivation, attention to detail is king and we are just as selective without flower inputs as we are with the methods and practices we incorporate into crafting our extracts.
Potency goes beyond cannabinoid content. For too long concentrates, like cultivation, has become a numbers game relegated to highest THC. We see the most potent expressions as a marriage of terpenes and THC – flavour and experience. We craft only the most flavourful, terpene-rich extract to transform cannabis experiences from potent to decadent.
