Know Your Grower -- Sitka
by Rachel Hantula, customer & product manager
Sitka Hash House
is a cannabis processor operating out of Seattle known for crafting old school, classic, full spectrum dry sift and bubble hash that carries, quite simply put, incomparable taste and consistency.
Sitka was built up from an idea shared by a couple of old colleagues and buddies who saw an opportunity at the rise of recreational legalization in Washington state. They had a passion for the hashin’ and thus, Sitka was born.
For those unfamiliar with hashish’s majestic wonder, hash is a just refinement of the glands isolated from the cannabis plant containing all the organic compounds known to get you “high”.
The refinement of these resinous glands is achieved only through solventless, chemical free means. Hash by Sitka is only crafted using mechanical and temporal aging tech.
Nick Saad, one of Sitka’s founders, came up with a hash-making process that is both old and new, invoking a way that is extremely time consuming because of its intimate attention to detail but well worth it, resulting in a full spectrum hashish with an incomparable taste and consistency.

Sitka Hash House is truly like nothing else out there.
Sitka remains dedicated to honoring ancient methods, as hash is the oldest form of concentrate out there having been crafted by humanity for thousands of years.
After taking years to refine and perfect their Sitka specific processes, Sitka has defined some guiding principles for their making of fine hash-
First is to insist on demanding farming, curing and quality control methods that most would consider excessive.
Sitka then works arduously until arriving upon the most delicious kief. Sitka will apply their proprietary processes that will protect the integrity of the terpene profile. This will deliver an end product rich in flavor and all the full spectrum psychedelic feels with a richer, brighter finish.
Their last guiding principle which ensures utmost quality control lies with Nick. To date, only Nick prepares the Hash, one master hashishin to produce consistent and impeccable quality.
Hashtag carries all the varieties Sitka produces including:
bubble hash, bubble hash temple balls, aged lebanese dry sift hash, hash infused pre rolled joints and more!

Hashtag Suggests:
If you’re looking for a bright, uplifting head buzz, Sitka's Lebanese Gold Hash is the one for you! Sitka’s Lebanese Gold is a blend of sativa varieties, personally chosen by the hashmaster. Experience its bold and complex taste, an aroma featuring bright, citrusy notes.
If you prefer a heavier, body-focused effect, we recommend opting for the Lebanese Red, a blend of classic indica strains selected by the hashmaster. Sitka’s Lebanese Red carries a bold, complex, yet smooth taste, with an aroma reminiscent of roses, spice and lavender.

There are many ways to enjoy your hash! Many folks will simply top off a flower bowl or add hash to a joint they roll. If you’d like to consume in a more traditional, nuanced fashion, however, we do have a few fun accessories at Hashtag that can help enhance the experience.
