Leafly accepts the Boveda challenge

We accepted the Boveda challenge “Save the Terps”.

Boveda sent us a cute little challenge in a box to prove once and for all just how great their two-way moisture control packages really are.

For this challenge, we took a quarter of the freshest and terpiest herb we could find and divided it into two glasses. One has only the grass in it and the other has a humidity of 62%, size 1 Boveda pack. After 30 days of storage in a cool, dry place, the two bud jars are ready for Justin & Ruben from Leafly to dive into the sniff test, the grind test and of course the smoke test.

Inside every Boveda pack are natural salts and purified water, enclosed in a semi-permeable membrane – this means that Boveda packs add moisture in the form of pure water vapor when your bud is too dry and soak in moisture when your flower is too wet is. Keep your crop at the ideal moisture level. Boveda packs form a single layer of purified water around the trichomes of your buds, keeping all of these valuable terpenes locked in.

Check out the video above to see what Leafly found on the Boveda Save the Terps Challenge.

How does the Boveda Challenge work?

Sniff test

Open both glasses and sniff at them. A less pungent aroma in the container’s headspace means that the terpenes have been successfully trapped in your bud.

Grinding test

Grind about a gram of each flower in clean, unused mills and smell both. A richer scent after grinding indicates that the terpenes have been well preserved.

Smoke test

Roll the ground flower into separate joints and light them. You should experience a rounder taste and a less pungent smoke from the flower stored with Boveda’s Terpene Shield Moisture Control Packs.

Our verdict? The Boveda flower definitely reigned in the Save the Terps challenge.

Boveda comes in a range of sizes that can protect a few grams from your stash, an ounce from your home-grown, or the pounds off your farm. They also have packs to protect your cigars and guitars so be sure to check them out over at bovedainc.com.
