Brand refresh addresses
shifting consumer preferences to deliver an innovative product
portfolio with a
fresh look and feel
SMITHS FALLS, ON, Jan. 27, 2022 /CNW/ - Canopy Growth Corporation
("Canopy Growth" or "the Company") (TSX: WEED)
(NASDAQ: CGC), a world-leading diversified cannabis, hemp, and
cannabis device company, unveils the next chapter of the Tweed
brand with the launch of new products, formats, and a refresh of
the brand's look and feel. Today, the brand is introducing a new
era of Tweed, inspiring Canadians to start their year off in
whatever way feels good for them.
"Since we first introduced Tweed to Canadians in 2014, it has
been recognized as an iconic symbol of Canadian cannabis
legalization, garnering the highest brand awareness amongst
Canadian cannabis consumers 1. The brand is proud
to deliver a new look and feel and a revitalized product lineup
with new product formats," said Kelly
Olsen, Vice President, Global Flower Business. "With the
launch of 'Whatever Feels Good,' we're committed to maintaining our
position as an approachable brand that delights Canadians through
our innovative new products to deliver joy in everyday
moments."
Tweed has transformed the brand's flower lineup with the
introduction of higher THC strains and improved grow techniques,
including hang drying all flower to produce higher quality bud with
increased moisture. Newly launched Tweed flower is now available in
new packaging that offers a trifecta of benefits, including: a
heat-sealed bag to preserve freshness; 90 per cent less material by
weight than the original tin packaging; and new colour profiles by
strain type, making it easier for consumers to find what they're
looking for.
The Tweed brand evolution includes the introduction of three new
flower strains:
- Chemdawg, a proprietary sativa strain derived from a series of
unique phenotypes of Thai and Nepali origin, known for its
distinct, diesel-like aroma;
- Powdered Donuts, a unique indica strain derived from dessert
strains Jet Fuel Gelato and Orange Cookies, with orange hues and
dense trichome coverage;
- GG#4, a beloved hybrid strain crossed from three legendary
genetics that is known for its earthy, woody and citrusy
notes.
These strains join Tweed's current roster of sought-after
varietals – Green Cush, Hindu Kush and Skunk
Haze - and come in a range of product sizes, including 3.5 gram
and 28 gram whole flower, and in Tweed Quickies, 0.35 gram pre-roll
joints in packs of ten.
Innovating in the edible category, Tweed is introducing the
XPRESS gummy, the brand's first-ever 2mg THC-infused gummy
offering. Available in Berry Citrus Blast and Tropical Rush, Tweed
XPRESS gummies contain 5 gummies per pack.
As beverages fuel growth in the ready-to-enjoy product category,
Tweed continues to be a leader in the category while bringing new
innovation to market. The addition of the new Tweed Sparkling Water
offers consumers a citrus-forward, 2.5mg THC- infused
ready-to-drink product available in Grapefruit, Lemon, and Lime
flavours. This builds on the existing lineup of multiple dosage
levels for different consumers and occasions – with 2mg THC, 2.5mg
THC and 5mg THC Iced Teas and Soda ready-to-drink formats.
The new Tweed flower, beverage and edible offerings are
available for purchase nationally via legal recreational cannabis
retail locations and e-commerce channels.
