Temple ball hash is one of cannabis culture’s most storied formats — a hand-rolled, solventless puck of sieved trichome resin aged to deepen its terpenes and mellow its high. It is not new, but it is finally getting the spotlight it deserves in the Canadian craft market. Our newest drop, Pink Bubba Temple Ball Hash AAA+, brings BC’s favourite sweet-floral indica into that traditional format — and the result is a deeply relaxing, terpene-rich smoke that feels older than it is.
This guide walks through what temple ball hash actually is, where it comes from, why Pink Bubba is such a natural fit for the format, and how to get the most out of it whether you are crumbling it into a joint or warming it up for a dab.
Temple ball hash is a traditional solventless hashish format made by gently pressing and hand-rolling sieved trichomes into a dense, glossy puck. The technique was popularised by the late Frenchy Cannoli, a French-Italian hash maker who spent decades studying traditional Himalayan and Moroccan methods before bringing them to North America’s craft cannabis scene.
The “temple ball” name comes from the polished, almost lacquered appearance of the finished hash — a smooth dark sphere that looks like it could sit on a temple altar. Under the surface, the trichomes slowly oxidise and meld together, deepening the colour and developing complex aged-cannabis flavours over weeks and months.
How Temple Ball Hash Is Made
The process is simple in concept but takes serious skill to execute well:
Dry-sift or ice-water extraction — Trichomes are separated from the flower using mesh screens or cold water and ice, with no solvents.
Hand-rolling and pressing — The collected resin is gently warmed and rolled by hand, applying just enough heat and pressure to bind the trichome heads without scorching them.
Aging — The finished puck is sealed and rested for weeks or months. During this aging period, terpenes redistribute and oxidise, smoothing out harsh notes and developing the deep, layered flavour temple ball is known for.
Because there are no solvents, no machinery, and no high-heat presses involved, temple ball hash is one of the cleanest and most artisanal formats in the concentrate world. For a wider primer on solventless versus solvent-based extracts, our cannabis concentrates buying guide breaks down all the major options.
The Pink Bubba Strain: Why It Works So Well as Hash
Pink Bubba is a beloved BC indica that crosses Pink Kush with Bubba Kush — two heavy hitters in the Kush family with long-standing reputations for deep body relaxation and sweet floral aromas.
That terpene profile is exactly why Pink Bubba translates so well into a temple ball. Caryophyllene brings a peppery, grounding base note. Limonene adds a bright citrus lift that keeps the flavour from feeling heavy. Linalool — the same terpene found in lavender — contributes a soft floral finish that is widely associated with calm, restful feelings. For a deeper look at how terpenes shape cannabis flavour and effect, see our complete guide to cannabis terpenes.
If you have tried our Pink Bubba flower review, the hash version delivers a similar effect curve in a much more concentrated, smooth-smoking package.
Flavour and Aroma: What to Expect from Pink Bubba Temple Ball
Open the jar and you get a rush of sweet floral berry with a soft kush warmth underneath — the kind of aroma that almost smells like dessert. The aging process rounds out the sharper Kush gas notes and replaces them with something deeper and more incense-like.
On the smoke, expect:
Front palate: Sweet berry and floral notes, almost rose-like
Mid palate: Soft, peppery Kush warmth from caryophyllene
Finish: Smooth, slightly creamy, with a lingering floral aftertaste
This is not a harsh, throat-scratching hash. Properly aged temple ball burns slowly and smoothly, which is part of why it has been prized for centuries.
Pink Bubba Temple Ball is built for nighttime. The Pink Kush × Bubba Kush lineage is famously sedating, and the aged solventless format tends to bring out the heavier, body-leaning side of those genetics. Some users report:
Deep physical relaxation and muscle melt
A slow, settling mental wind-down rather than a racing head high
A heavy “couch lock” feeling at higher doses
Sleepy, dreamy effects that pair well with late-evening routines
Because hash is significantly more potent than flower gram-for-gram, a little goes a long way. This is a great option if you are looking for a clean, concentrated way to unwind without reaching for solvent-based extracts. If you are still figuring out what kind of cannabis suits your evenings, our guide to the best cannabis strains for sleep is a good starting point.

How to Use Temple Ball Hash
Temple ball is one of the most versatile concentrates out there. Because it is malleable at room temperature and burns cleanly, it works in nearly every consumption method.
This is the classic method. Pinch off a small piece (start with rice-grain size), warm it gently between your fingers, then either crumble it onto your ground flower or roll a thin “snake” of hash to twist into the joint. Pink Bubba Temple Ball pairs especially well with indica flower like our other indica strains for an extra-heavy effect, or with a balanced hybrid for a more layered smoke.
Topped on a Bowl
Pack your flower as usual, then break off a small chunk of hash and place it on top. The hash will melt and bubble as it heats, releasing concentrated vapour through the bowl. Use a hemp wick if possible — the lower flame temperature preserves the delicate terpene profile.
Dabbed at Low Temperatures
For experienced concentrate users, temple ball hash can be dabbed using a low-temperature nail (around 400–450°F / 200–230°C). Lower temps protect the terpenes and give you a smoother, more flavourful pull. Higher temps will work but may burn off some of the more delicate floral notes.
In a Vaporiser
If your vape supports concentrates or has a concentrate pad, temple ball hash vaporises cleanly. This is one of the most flavour-forward ways to enjoy it because you can dial in lower temperatures than combustion allows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is temple ball hash?
Temple ball hash is a traditional solventless hashish that is hand-rolled into a dense puck and aged to develop deeper flavours. The format was popularised by hash maker Frenchy Cannoli and is made by collecting trichomes through dry-sift or ice-water methods, then gently warming and pressing them by hand — no solvents, no machinery.
How strong is Pink Bubba Temple Ball Hash?
Hash is significantly more potent than flower, gram-for-gram, because it is concentrated trichome resin rather than whole-plant material. Start with a rice-grain-sized portion, especially if you are new to concentrates, and give yourself time to feel the effects before adding more.
How is temple ball hash different from regular pressed hash?
Regular pressed hash is typically mechanically compacted into bricks, often using high pressure or heat. Temple ball hash is hand-rolled at low temperatures and then aged for weeks or months, which preserves more terpenes and develops smoother, more complex flavours over time.
Can you dab temple ball hash?
Yes. Temple ball hash dabs cleanly at low temperatures, usually around 400–450°F. Lower temperatures protect the delicate terpene profile and give you a more flavourful pull. Higher temperatures work but can scorch off the floral and citrus notes that make Pink Bubba distinctive.
Is temple ball hash solventless?
Yes. Authentic temple ball hash is made entirely without solvents — the trichomes are separated using dry-sift screens or ice-water extraction, then hand-rolled. That is one of the reasons temple ball is considered a premium artisan format.
