TORONTO, May 4, 2021 /CNW/ - The Green Organic
Dutchman Holdings Ltd. ("TGOD" or the "Company") (TSX: TGOD) (US:
TGODF), a leading producer of premium certified organically grown
cannabis, is pleased to announce the launch of its refined line of
premium organic whole flower products available to provincial
boards across Canada.
"Our new leadership team started in the Fall of 2020 with the
mandate to restore TGOD's positioning as a premium organic cannabis
brand. While our 2.0 portfolio is top notch and attracts a certain
demographic, whole flower is what defines a truly premium brand in
today's market. After soliciting feedback from budtenders and
customers, our team overhauled our methods and processes, and
that's how CleanCraft™ was created," commented Michel Gagné, TGOD's
Chief Operating Officer. "Bold, obsessed with quality and
precision, and passionate about cannabis. Those are the words I
would use to describe the team we have assembled here at TGOD. I am
extremely proud of our improved product portfolio; it is day and
night compared to our previous flower. Boasting a THC content of at
least 20% and an increased percentage of fragrant terpenes, our
whole flower is a total sensory delight. When someone opens a TGOD
jar, they get large buds, vibrant colours, and rich aromas.
It offers a consistent, clean, best in class consumption
experience."
The commitment to quality and consistency includes large,
hand-selected top cola buds, greater than 20% THC potency in each
lot, and a moisture pack in each jar to maintain optimum humidity
levels from the moment it is packed. TGOD is reclaiming its
position as the premium organic cannabis provider in Canada.
"We are 100% committed to quality, consistency, and transparency,
and want to ensure that only top-quality flower is in market.
That's the TGOD Promise." added Gagné.
As part of its promise for quality, consistency, and high-THC
level, any core TGOD flower skus stocked in provincial warehouses
that did not meet the Company's strict quality standards have been
pulled out of the market by TGOD and replaced with TGOD's new
higher-quality flower. TGOD's new premium whole flower products are
available to provincial boards nationally.
CleanCraft™
TGOD implemented a set of enhanced
cultivation and processing methods to deliver on its promise of
bringing an organically grown craft quality product to Canadian
consumers.
1. Certified
organically grown
Not all cannabis is organic. TGOD grows beyond the standards set
for the industry. All TGOD flower is organically grown and
certified by Pro-Cert, an internationally recognized organic
accreditation body. Growing organically is how nature
intended.
2. Grown in Living
Soil
TGOD's living soil is a thriving ecosystem full of beneficial
microbes, enzymes, and minerals. Its ingredients are sourced from
all over Canada, including glacial
rock dust, maple syrup, and more, and there's a functional purpose
for each of them. These inputs act as a buffet for the plant to
select from based on its needs. Whereas many companies grow in an
artificial medium and try to manually "feed" the plant, TGOD feeds
the soil allowing nature to do what it does best.
3. Natural
Elements
TGOD's hybrid greenhouse is designed to bring the best of nature
indoors. It uses a combination of sun and full-spectrum LED light.
For hydration, the Company uses naturally purified, captured
rainwater. It also developed a proprietary aeration system that
maximizes clean airflow from the bottom upward through the canopy
to maintain ideal conditions.
4. Hand-selected and
Trimmed
The Company's harvesting team selects only the top
colas, the largest buds with higher cannabinoid and terpene
content, to be sold under the TGOD brand. Each bud is
meticulously trimmed to preserve the integrity of its shape
and the rich trichomes that cover it.
5. Slow-Dried and
Cured
TGOD's organic whole flowers dry at a cool temperature to let
the cannabinoids continue to develop after being harvested. Each
bud is given enough time to develop its full flavour and
aroma. In doing so, the oxygen and other compounds
react with chlorophyll in the flowers to improve taste,
intensify terpene flavours, and offer an overall better
consumption experience.

Enhanced Transparency
In parallel with the
implementation of CleanCraft™, TGOD is improving its
packaging. The Company's iconic glass jar will continue to be used,
but the labels will now feature additional information to provide
further transparency on flower quality and profile. Not only will
the percentage of terpenes be indicated, but also the dominant
three terpenes in each lot. Complete COAs will continue to be
available on TGOD's website for the full terpene profile.
Premium Organic Whole Flower Portfolio
TGOD's
portfolio of premium organic whole flowers currently comprises four
High-THC strains, with plans to introduce additional
innovative strains.
1. Organic Sugar Bush
(20-25% THC)
- Certified organically grown in living soil, this
trichome-covered high-THC Sativa gets its Sugar Bush name from the
maple tree forests in Quebec - the
source of maple syrup that is used to nurture the soil it grows in.
The result, a strain that is full of aroma - bringing with it a
fruity, sweet scent that is reminiscent of ripe melon and passion
fruit.
2. Organic Rockstar Tuna
(20-25% THC)
- Certified organically grown in living soil, this popular Indica
strain was originally created through crossing the classic strains
Tuna Kush and Rockstar. It has made a name for itself thanks to its
intense aroma, gorgeous buds, and unique flavour profile that
combines fruity-skunk and spicy herbs.
3. Organic Fire (20-25%
THC)
- Certified organically grown in living soil, this
Indica-dominant flower finishes with dark leaves and fire red
pistils. Organic Fire comes in chunky dense buds covered in frosty
trichomes that glitter against its dark leaves. Pleasant fruity
aromas are balanced with an earthy, woody undertone, and brings
with it a subtle fruity sour flavour that is made to be
savored.
4. Organic LA Con (20-25%
THC)
- Certified organically grown in living soil, TGOD's Organic LA
Con is dense, heavy-hitting Indica. This classic strain is a
perfect balance of fruity OG flavours and earthy tones.
