What is it;

Dry sift is composed almost entirely of trichome heads, the resin glands that contain cannabinoids (like THC and CBD) and terpenes. The result is a sandy, powdery substance that can be used loose or pressed into hash.

How It’s Made

1. Fully dried cannabis is placed over fine mesh screens.

2. The material is gently agitated or rubbed.

3. Trichomes fall through the screen while plant matter stays behind.

4. The collected resin is refined through multiple screens for higher purity.

Texture & Appearance of Dry sift Hashish

• Fine, sandy powder (often called “kief” at lower refinement)

• Light blonde to golden at high quality

• Darker color may indicate more plant contamination

Aroma & Flavor

• Strong terpene presence

• Clean, strain-specific flavor

• Can taste very fresh if properly stored

Potency

• Typically 40–60% THC (higher if well refined)

• More potent than flower but generally less than rosin or distillate

How It’s Used

• Sprinkled into joints or bowls

• Pressed into traditional hash blocks

• Dabbed if high enough quality (full-melt dry sift)

What Makes Good Dry Sift?

• Melts or bubbles when heated

• Minimal green plant particles

• Soft, resinous feel rather than dusty
