Carlotta Gardens • Native Soil • Van Duzen River Floodplain • Tested 11/22/2025
Triple Junction is a concentrated expression of Humboldt terroir, sourced from flower grown by Carlotta Gardens in native riverbed soil along the Van Duzen River floodplain in Carlotta, Humboldt County. The alluvial ground—rich in minerals and biological activity—imparts a depth and warmth to the resin that can only come from true native-soil cultivation.
The Arcata Fire team harvested this crop using proprietary cryogenic harvest procedures, immediately flash-freezing the live flower at subzero temperatures to capture its peak aromatic and flavor profile. This rapid preservation locks in the plant's most delicate volatile compounds before extraction, ensuring the final resin tastes as close to the living cultivar as possible.
Once harvested, the material was refined into 100% Live Resin, removing all remnants of the hydrocarbon extraction process and delivering a clean, unadulterated flavor designed specifically for connoisseurs. Packaged on 11/22/2025, this batch presents a bold and layered profile: warm, sweet spice rises first, followed by a bright citrus edge and soft resinous sweetness. As the flavor unfolds, deeper notes of forest earth and gentle wood emerge—direct reflections of the Van Duzen floodplain's nutrient-rich soil and natural moisture profile. The finish is smooth, clean, and supported by an intensely expressive aromatic composition measuring over 7.7% total volatiles.
The experience is focused and steady, offering clarity without rush, warmth without weight, and a complexity that rewards slow, intentional savoring. Triple Junction stands as a jar that captures place, craft, and season in their truest form—nothing added, nothing obscured, just flash-frozen live flower at peak expression.
