Hyperwolf keeps innovation at the forefront of its operations. From top-of-the-line vape hardware to Cold Cure flower, they can’t help but push the boundaries of the cannabis market. 

But hold up! Let’s backtrack for a moment… Did we say ‘Cold Cure’ flower? If you’re sitting in front of your screen, scratching your head, and wondering what that could possibly be, hang tight; answers are coming. 

Cold Cure flower is the latest and greatest in cultivation. An exclusive collaboration between Talking Trees and Hyperwolf, we can’t wait for you to get your hands on your very own jar.

Instead of leaving you guessing about the details surrounding Cold Cure flower, we’re giving you the inside scoop straight from the source. We recently sat down with the founders of Hyperwolf (Jake) and Talking Trees (Craig), who kindly shared some insight into Cold Cure flower. We covered all the important details of what it is and how it’s made. 

First thing first: What even is Cold Cure flower? Simply put, Cold Cure flower is a fancy way of referring to freeze-dried flower. 

Like freeze-drying fruit, for example, Cold Cure flower preserves the cannabis nug in its exact condition upon harvest – but more on that later. 

The team at Talking Trees is no stranger to freeze dryers; and we’re not talking about small, household appliances. 

Given that Talking Trees uses industrial-grade freeze dryers to craft their popular bubble hash, the question, What would happen if you put flower in a freeze dryer, naturally piqued Craig’s curiosity. 

After the initial testing phase, Craig and his team got to work comparing air-dried flower (a typical curing process) with its freeze-dried counterparts. And the results were revolutionary. 

When cannabis flower is freeze-dried, it pauses the flower in that time. Unlike other methods of drying and curing, the Cold Cure flower doesn’t shrink or lose its size; it’s bulkier but with a lighter feel. And who doesn’t love extra fluffy nugs? 

But that’s not all. Since Cold Cure flower is basically frozen in time, it doesn’t continue to ripen as it would if it were hung and air-dried. Instead, it stays in the exact same condition it was in upon harvesting. 

Finally, Cold Cure flower allows for a much quicker process. While other methods of drying and curing take a substantial amount of time to complete, freeze-dried flower goes from harvest to smoke in just 24 hours. Extra fresh flower? Yes, please!

Unfortunately, we wouldn’t classify Cold Cure flower creation as an easy DIY project. Instead, leave it to the experts. But to keep you in the loop, here is how the teams at Hyperwolf and Talking Trees perfected their Cold Cure flower process:

First, they harvest the cannabis fresh, and immediately upon harvest, they put the flower in an industrial, commercial-size freeze-dryer. As mentioned earlier, these aren’t your typical run-of-the-mill freeze dryers; these are high-tech machines that allow for 30 pounds of flower at any given time.

And a quick note for the discerning stoners reading this: Talking Trees processes all of their bubble hash, or hash that becomes live resin, through the freeze dryer. This produces a nicer color and better quality than air-dried.

We get it: the cannabis industry is full of innovation. It’s one of those industries still in its infancy, and everybody has something to prove. But Cold Cure flower is the real deal because it is just straight-up cool and benefits you as a consumer. 

Because here’s where the real magic comes into play – Cold Cure flower is actually more potent. Hear us out… 

Air-dried flowers inevitably lose their terpenes. However, the Cold Cure process preserves the terpenes better. This allows for higher terpene percentages and, therefore, greater potency. 

Craig and his team have run extensive tests on Cold Cure flower. Both Hyperwolf and Talking Trees wouldn’t release anything that they wouldn’t personally smoke, and freeze-dried flower is no exception. According to recent tests, Cold Cure flower yielded 2-5% higher potency and an approximate 0.25-0.50% increase in terpenes. 

Now, if you don’t require too much convincing, let’s address the simplest reason you should smoke Cold Cure flower: It’s a new thing to try! It’s something cool, something different. It isn’t necessarily better or worse, but it’s a different type of smoke compared to what you may be accustomed to. 

Given that the effects of cannabis are highly individual, cold-curing may or may not affect your individual experience with the flower. More than anything, Cold Cure flower is a bit grainier — a bit airier, compared to air-dried flower. Ultimately, this impacts the preparation and smoking experience more so than anything else. 

Additionally, Cold Cure flower has a lower moisture content by about 2% less than the normal 8-9% moisture content, which could lengthen its shelf-life.

Like all other cannabis flower varieties, Cold Cure flower is best stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. Would we suggest storing it in your freezer? No, but who are we to stop you. 

Anyways, given that Cold Cure flower is quite literally frozen in time, it skips the natural degradation that happens as flower ripens during the typical curing process. Flash-freezing could allow for your favorite flower to stay shelf-stable for a bit longer, but trust us when we say that you will likely smoke through a jar faster than ever because it’s just that good.

And that’s it for your inside scoop on Cold Cure flower! Given that it’s a relatively new concept, Cold Cure flower is just something you’ll have to see to believe.
