BANANA RUNTZ THCA CRUMBLE TEA EXTRACT

Banana Runtz THCA Crumble Hemp Tea Extract | The Bud Works

Banana Runtz is a Banana OG x Runtz cross bred by Solfire Gardens - a hybrid profile with over 5,000 saves on Leafly and a 4.5 star average from reviewers who consistently describe the same thing: vivid banana and tropical fruit character, smooth and sweet without being heavy, uplifting in the cup rather than sedating. That consistency is what makes a profile worth coming back to and Banana Runtz delivers it reliably.

The Banana OG side of the cross provides the primary banana and tropical fruit character. Runtz - itself a Zkittlez and Gelato cross - is what gives the profile its candy complexity and layered depth. Zkittlez brings the tropical fruit and candy sweetness. Gelato adds the creamy, dessert-adjacent quality that produces the vanilla finish that lingers after the cup. The combination produces a tree fruit, tropical and apricot-adjacent character across the profile that's more nuanced than a flat banana flavour and noticeably more interesting in the cup.

The terpene base is cannabis-derived from California-grown source material. Real hemp terpenes doing the work. Caryophyllene dominant, providing the peppery structural grip that keeps the sweetness grounded. Myrcene providing the earthy warm base character. Limonene adding tropical citrus brightness. The same terpene composition that Leafly identifies as defining the Banana Runtz profile - Caryophyllene, Myrcene and Limonene - doing exactly what they're supposed to do in the cup.

Crumble is a practical format for a daily hemp tea. The dry, friable texture means it's easy to measure, breaks apart cleanly and sits in an infuser without clumping. It's one of the more forgiving formats to work with and the terpene character is well preserved through the production process despite the dry texture. The banana and candy notes come through clearly from the first pour. The creamy vanilla depth develops as the brew opens. Adding milk brings the creaminess forward further and is worth trying - it's one of the profiles in the range where the milk addition makes a clearly positive difference to the cup.

Worth noting on timing - the Leafly community describes Banana Runtz as an uplifting, afternoon-appropriate profile rather than a heavy evening one. It sits at the energising end of the sweet and tropical category rather than the settling end. Good for mid-morning or afternoon. Not the one for winding down.

At 82% THCA it sits in the mid-to-upper range for the crumble products. A small amount goes a long way.

THCA as a Naturally Occurring Hemp Compound

THCA is tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in raw hemp. It belongs to the same family of plant compounds as CBDA found in hemp flower. Just as ginger contains compounds in its raw form that change when cooked, THCA exists in its natural acid form in unheated hemp. It's non-psychoactive in this state and is not a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Brewing hemp as a tea at temperatures well below decarboxylation threshold keeps the compound in its natural form. The Bud Works sells all THCA products exclusively for hot water infusion. Combustion and vaping are not an intended or supported use.

All ingredients are independently lab tested and we calculate cannabinoid percentages from verified constituent lab reports. Delta-9 THC is below 0.2%, within UK legal limits. Sold for hot water infusion only.
