In this article, we will explore these production methods, the resulting textures, and how they compare to more common sifted hash.
The Traditional Manufacturing Process
The making of charas is an art in itself. This process begins with the harvesting of cannabis flowers, usually during the flowering period when the trichomes are at their peak. Here are the key steps:
- Hand Harvesting: Producers hand-pick the cannabis flowers, ensuring that the trichomes are not damaged.
- Rubbing: The flowers are then rubbed between the hands, releasing a sticky and aromatic resin.

This artisanal process, often carried out at high altitudes in the Himalayas, gives charas a rich aroma and a unique texture.
