THCA LIVE RESIN
BLUE LOBSTER THCA LIVE RESIN HEMP TEA EXTRACT
BLUE LOBSTER THCA LIVE RESIN HEMP TEA EXTRACT
Blue Lobster is a Leafly Strain of the Year 2025 nominee and it earned that recognition. A Cipher Genetics and Maine Trees collaboration - Cipher bred the original cross from Apples and Bananas and Eye Candy, Maine Trees hunted the phenotype, named it and put it on the map. The result took three awards at the East Coast 2023 Zalympix: Gassiest, Best Terps, and runner-up for Best Overall. The terpene profile delivers on all three of those. Blueberry candy leads with vivid fruit character, plum and grape layering underneath, apple brightness sitting alongside, and a herbal undertow running through everything that stops it being purely sweet. Deep green buds tinged with dark periwinkle beneath a thick frost in flower form. In live resin extract it's one of the most distinctive and immediately recognisable profiles in the range. Relaxed, euphoric and talkative in character. Brewed as a tea.

DESCRIPTION
Live resin as a format is defined by its terpene richness. Traditionally associated with fresh-frozen extraction that preserves the native aromatic profile of the plant before any degradation can occur, it's the extract format most associated with a broad, expressive and complex terpene character. Viscous and resinous in consistency, it releases its profile gradually into hot water which makes the brew time worth taking seriously.
Blue Lobster is a collaboration between Cipher Genetics and Maine Trees. Cipher Genetics bred the original cross from Apples and Bananas and Eye Candy. Maine Trees hunted the specific phenotype, named it and popularised it - a process that in cannabis genetics is often as important as the breeding itself. The right phenotype selection can take a promising cross and produce something that sits in a category of its own. As the breeders state, Blue Lobster is in a league all her own and the awards back that up. Three at the East Coast 2023 Zalympix - Gassiest, Best Terps, and runner-up for Best Overall. That's not a profile that's just sweet or just fruity. It's something more layered.
The aromatic character opens with vivid blueberry candy at the primary level. Plum and grape sit underneath that, adding a darker fruit depth. Apple brightness runs alongside and gives the profile a freshness that stops it sitting too heavily in the berry-forward category. A herbal undertow pulls through everything, weaving complexity into what could otherwise be a straightforward fruit profile. The citrus zest from the Limonene dominant terpene composition ties the layers together and gives the whole thing lift.
In the cup the blueberry and candy character comes through first and most immediately. The plum and grape depth develops as the brew steeps. The herbal and citrus notes are there throughout and bring the profile to life across the full steep. One UK reviewer on Leafly described it simply - when you can get it in the UK, grab it and don't let it go. That's the right advice.
All ingredients are independently lab tested. We calculate cannabinoid percentages from verified constituent lab reports. Certificate of Analysis available on this page.
How to brew: add a small amount to your infuser or tea bag. Pour water at around 80°C. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Worth trying without milk first - the blueberry candy and plum character is most vivid in a straight brew. Adding milk softens the herbal depth and brings the sweeter fruit notes forward.
Sold for hot water infusion and herbal tea use only. Do not combust, vape or expose to high temperatures. Store sealed, away from heat and direct light. Keep out of reach of children. Not for use by persons under 18.

Certificate of Analysis
Heat Exposure Risk Notice
If this tea extract is exposed to combustion or sufficiently high heat (well above brewing temperature), decarboxylation may occur, resulting in the chemical conversion of THCA into Δ9-THC.
Δ9-THC is classified as a controlled substance under UK law. Any alteration of the cannabinoid profile through heat exposure may therefore change the legal status of the material.
Potential Side Effects of Δ9-THC:
In some individuals, Δ9-THC has been associated with adverse physiological or psychological responses. Reported adverse responses include disorientation, anxiety, altered perception, impaired coordination, nausea, increased heart rate, and temporary cognitive disturbance.
These risks do not apply to normal brewing at or below boiling point, and may arise only through combustion, vaporisation, or other misuse.

Blue Lobster THCA Live Resin Hemp Tea Extract | The Bud Works
Blue Lobster was a Leafly Strain of the Year 2025 nominee. It took three awards at the East Coast 2023 Zalympix - Gassiest, Best Terps, and runner-up for Best Overall. It has a 4.7 star rating on Leafly from 56 reviews. It's been described by UK consumers as something you grab when you find it and don't let go. The reputation is earned and it's built on a terpene profile that's genuinely unlike most of what's in the market.
The strain comes from a collaboration between Cipher Genetics and Maine Trees. Cipher bred the cross from Apples and Bananas and Eye Candy. Maine Trees found the specific phenotype that made it what it is, named it after the most celebrated crustacean in New England, and introduced it to a market that immediately recognised it as something different. Apples and Bananas on one side - itself a celebrated four-way cross from Compound Genetics with tropical fruit and creamy depth - and Eye Candy on the other, adding the vivid berry and candy character that defines the top of the Blue Lobster profile.
The result is blueberry candy at the primary level with a clarity and vividness that's immediately striking. Plum and grape sit underneath with a darker fruit quality. Apple brightness runs alongside without dominating. A herbal undertow pulls through the whole profile and gives it the complexity that sweet and fruit-forward profiles often lack. The citrus zest from the Limonene dominant terpene composition provides lift and stops it settling.
In live resin format the layered character develops properly across the steep. The blueberry candy hits first. The plum and grape develop through the middle. The herbal and citrus notes are present from start to finish. It's a profile that holds attention across the full cup rather than delivering everything at once and fading.
One Leafly reviewer described it as their favourite indica-hybrid. Sweet, fruity, yet lightly gassy terps. Relaxing and euphoric without much couchlock. Another said it gives OG Purple Haze a run for its money as a favourite all time strain. The common thread across the reviews is a profile that's distinctive, genuinely enjoyable and that people come back to.
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.
