Cannabis Concentrates New York | Expert Guide to Extracts from Beleaf


CANNABIS CONCENTRATES NEW YORK – FULL-SPECTRUM GUIDE FROM BELEAF

Cannabis concentrates in New York are gaining momentum. Thanks to their strong effects, full flavor, and versatile formats, more people are choosing these products every day. At Beleaf, we stock a full lineup of premium concentrates at both our Brooklyn and Calverton locations, so you can find what fits your needs and preferences.

What Are Cannabis Concentrates?

Cannabis concentrates are powerful extracts made by separating cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant. These products contain much higher THC levels than flower. While traditional cannabis flower typically has 15%–30% THC, concentrates can range from 70% to 95%.

Because they are so strong, you only need a small amount to feel the effects. You can use them in a variety of ways: by dabbing, vaping, mixing with flower, or infusing into edibles. No matter how you choose to consume them, concentrates offer quick, noticeable results.

Why People Choose Cannabis Concentrates in New York

Consumers turn to cannabis concentrates for several reasons:

  • More strength in smaller doses

  • Faster relief, especially for medical users

  • Richer flavor due to high terpene content

  • More options, from dabs to vape carts

  • Low odor, ideal for discreet use

Whether you’re seeking quick relief or a new cannabis experience, concentrates provide plenty of options.

Common Types of Concentrates at Beleaf

Kief and Hash

Kief is the powdery substance found at the bottom of a grinder. It’s rich in THC and can be sprinkled on flower or pressed into hash. Hash is simply compressed kief, created using heat and pressure. Beleaf offers both dry-sift and ice-water hash, which are solvent-free and naturally potent.

Ethanol Extracts

This method uses alcohol to draw out cannabinoids and terpenes. The resulting products include:

  • FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) for medical relief

  • Capsules and tinctures for controlled oral dosing

Cold ethanol extraction preserves flavor, making it a great choice for balanced products.

Hydrocarbon Extracts

Hydrocarbon extraction uses butane or propane. It delivers several textures:

  • Shatter – brittle and glass-like

  • Wax – soft and sticky

  • Crumble – dry and fluffy

  • Budder – smooth and whipped

This method captures flavor extremely well, especially in live resin.

Live Resin

Live resin is made from fresh-frozen cannabis. This helps preserve the plant’s natural flavor and aroma. At Beleaf, you’ll find live resin in forms like sugar, sauce, or diamonds in terpene-rich sauce.

CO2 Extracts

CO2 extraction is a cleaner method using high pressure. It’s often used to make:

  • Vape carts

  • Edibles

  • Topicals

Though it may reduce flavor slightly, it’s preferred for solvent-free products.

Distillate

Distillate is a refined cannabis oil containing mostly THC or CBD. It’s used in:

  • Vape cartridges

  • Edibles

  • Capsules

Manufacturers often add terpenes back in to mimic strain profiles. At Beleaf, you’ll find both cannabis-derived and botanical terpene options.

Live Rosin

Live rosin is a solventless extract made by pressing bubble hash from frozen cannabis. It retains full flavor and purity. Rosin comes in textures like:

  • Cold cure

  • Jam

  • Batter

This is one of the cleanest, most flavorful concentrates you can buy.

Resin vs Rosin

  • Live Resin: Made with solvents, strong and flavorful

  • Live Rosin: Made without solvents, smooth and pure

Think of live resin like shelf-stable juice and live rosin like fresh-squeezed juice.

Vape Concentrates at Beleaf

We carry several vape options at our Brooklyn and Calverton stores:

  • Distillate + BDTs: Affordable and flavorful

  • Distillate + CDTs: Mimics natural strain effects

  • Live Resin Vapes: Potent and terpene-rich

  • Live Rosin Vapes: Premium and solvent-free

Our carts are clearly labeled, making it easy to find your favorite.

Advanced Concentrates for Experts

Looking for something bold? Try:

  • Diamonds: Isolated THCA crystals

  • HTFSE: High Terpene Full Spectrum Extract

  • HCFSE: High Cannabinoid Full Spectrum Extract

  • Live Sauce: A mix of diamonds and terpenes

These options are great for experienced consumers.

Understanding Terpenes

  • CDTs (Cannabis-Derived Terpenes): Offer authentic effects

  • BDTs (Botanical-Derived Terpenes): Deliver flavor and affordability

Ask our team which terpene types are in your concentrate. CDTs usually provide a more natural experience.

How to Read Concentrate Labels in New York

Every cannabis concentrate in New York must show:

  • THC/CBD content

  • Extraction method

  • Terpene source

  • Manufacturing and batch info

  • QR code linking to the Certificate of Analysis (COA)

Only purchase products with a full label and verified testing.

Single Source Products

Single source means a product is made from a single strain and harvest. This ensures flavor, consistency, and quality. Ask our budtenders about current single-source drops at Beleaf.

How to Dose Concentrates Safely

New to concentrates? Start small. A dab the size of half a grain of rice is usually enough. When using a vape, take a single, short puff and wait 10–15 minutes. Always give your body time to respond before taking more.

Storage Tips

To keep your products fresh:

  • Store in an airtight glass or silicone container

  • Keep them away from light and heat

  • Label your jars if you have multiple strains

Proper storage helps preserve both potency and flavor.
