When shopping for CBD flowers in the UK, it’s normal to come across multiple product types: premium CBD flowers, CBD trim, hemp blend, or even CBD biomass. All of them come from the same hemp plant, but they offer different aromas, cannabinoid profiles, structures, and price points.
If you’re trying to understand which option is best for you, or you’re deciding whether to buy CBD flowers or explore CBD trim/hemp blend, this guide breaks down everything you need to know with clear, practical information.
At Iguana Smoke, we offer both premium CBD flowers and a high-quality line of Hemp Blend (CBD Trim) products available in multiple blends: Original, Amnesia, Super Skunk, Lemon Haze, and Zkittlez.
What Are CBD Flowers or CBD Buds?
CBD flowers are the fully matured, hand-selected buds of the hemp plant. These are the premium top-quality parts of the plant, grown with care so they can develop rich cannabinoid and terpene profiles.
Key Characteristics of CBD Flowers
- Highest quality part of the plant
- Dense, resinous buds with strong aromas
- Rich terpene profiles → stronger flavour and better experience
- Uniform appearance and carefully trimmed
- Usually contain the highest levels of CBD
CBD flowers are ideal for users looking for:
Aroma intensity
Beautiful, compact buds
High CBD content
A premium experience
This is why CBD flowers are the most sought-after form of hemp in the UK market.
What Is CBD Trim / Hemp Blend / Biomass?
CBD trim, often labelled as hemp blend or CBD biomass, refers to the small leaves, tiny buds, and resinous plant material collected during the trimming process.
Because it contains small buds, crystals, and leaves full of trichomes, it still carries a good amount of CBD, but at a more affordable price point.
It’s important to highlight that at Iguana Smoke, our hemp biomass is made exclusively from ground CBD flowers, not the typical low-grade trim found elsewhere. This is why our “Ready To Enjoy” Iguana Smoke blend offers such exceptional quality, rich aroma, and consistent texture compared to standard hemp blends on the market. Taste the difference for yourself, try only the best. Choose Iguana Smoke Ready To Enjoy.
Key Characteristics of CBD Trim / Hemp Blend
- A mixture of micro-buds and small leaves
- Grounded CBD Flowers
- Contains CBD-rich trichomes
- Offers good flavour and aroma, though lighter than premium flowers
- Excellent value for money
- Perfect for users who want quantity at a lower price
CBD trim is great for:
Rolling in large quantities
Making tea, infusions or extracts
Users who want CBD on a budget
Those who prefer mild aromas
At Iguana Smoke UK, our hemp blends are strain-specific, meaning each blend still offers the unique flavour fingerprint of the original genetics — something not all shops provide.
