If you’re unfamiliar with Known Rosin, now’s the time to get to know them (see what we did there?). The elusive brand can’t be found on the internet, or on Instagram, but is one of the most popular rosins on the shelves today. In fact, if you’re in the dabhead community, it’s likely your resident connoisseur has suggested picking up a gram or two. 

So, if you’re in the market for a fresh take on some of Michigan’s top solventless rosin, this is the guide for you. Here, we’ll cover our top 5 strains to try from Known Rosin Michigan, with a detailed description of what makes rosin so special for our rosin-curious consumers. Keep reading for everything you need to know about Known Rosin at Moses Roses. 

What is Rosin? 

Regular dabbers are welcome to proceed, but we would be remiss if we didn't explain what makes rosin truly special and why it commands a higher price than other concentrates. First and foremost, “live” rosin refers to extracts that come from fresh frozen flower. This means that cultivators immediately freeze the flower upon harvest to capture its terpene and cannabinoid profile at the peak of freshness. 

To give you an idea of how this makes a difference, most flower you consume is dried and cured, which can result in cannabinoids and terpenes degrading or transforming. So, if you’ve ever been in an indoor facility and taken in a whiff of plants just about to be harvested…that’s the pungent, potent aroma and flavor you can expect to taste from Known rosin. 

Now, the difference between rosin and resin lies in how the two concentrates are extracted. Rosin is extracted with solventless methods, i.e., the flower is washed in an ice water bath, and the hash from that process is pressed to squeeze the oils from the trichomes. Resin, is extracted with solvent-based methods where the trichomes are agitated and isolated with solvents like butane, ethanol, or CO2. 

Rosin is considered a cleaner, more pure extract because no other ingredient other than water, pressure, and temperature is used to make it. Ready to try Known Rosin for yourself? Start with our team’s picks for the top X strains to try first.
