Triple filtered hash is hash made from resin that has been sieved three times, and double filtered hash has been sieved twice. Each pass takes out more plant material, so triple filtered is usually the purer of the two. Filtered hash is one of the oldest ways of collecting cannabis resin, and this guide explains how it is made, what double and triple filtered mean, and how kief and moon rocks differ.
How filtered hash is made
The resin glands on a cannabis flower, called trichomes, can be separated from the dried plant by shaking or rubbing it over fine screens. This is known as dry sifting. The fine powder that falls through the screens is collected and pressed, traditionally with warmth and pressure, into a block of hash. Morocco, and in particular the Rif region, is famous for hash made this way.
Double and triple filtered: what the number means
Each pass through the screens takes out more plant material, so the more times hash has been filtered, the purer and cleaner it usually is.
- Double filtered hash has been sieved twice, as with our Beldia Double Filtered Hash.
- Triple filtered hash has been sieved three times, as with our Forbidden Triple Filtered Hash.

| Moon rocks | Flower buds coated in concentrate, then rolled in kief | No | Kief and moon rocks |
What is Beldia?
Beldia is the name given to the traditional local cannabis variety grown in Morocco, which has been used for hash making for generations. Beldia hash is made from that traditional plant.
Kief
Kief is the loose trichome powder itself, collected by sieving but not pressed into a block. It is what filtered hash is made from.
Moon rocks
Moon rocks are flower buds coated in concentrate and then rolled in kief, so they combine flower, concentrate and kief in one.
Storing hash
Keep hash in an airtight container somewhere cool, dry and dark, and out of the reach of children and pets.

Common questions
What does triple filtered hash mean?
It means the resin has been sieved three times before pressing, which removes more plant material than double filtered hash.
What is the difference between kief and hash?
Kief is the loose, unpressed trichome powder. Hash is that powder pressed into a block.
What are moon rocks?
Moon rocks are flower buds coated in concentrate and rolled in kief.
