New brand promises great product and taste.
First lineup includes flavour packed 50% THC pre-rolls and 1,000mg
vapes
EDMONTON, AB , Sept. 19,
2023 /PRNewswire/ - Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:
ACB) (TSX: ACB), the Canadian company opening the world to
cannabis, is launching a bold new brand, TASTY'S, to the Canadian
adult market, designed to deliver on taste, potency, and price.
Anchored by a disruptive brand identity, TASTY'S celebrates
its market arrival today in Toronto at Hall of Flowers, a premier cannabis
trade show. The TASTY'S brand is available for cannabis
enthusiasts, including buyers and budtenders, to experience and see
firsthand that TASTY'S promises to deliver highly potent weed that
tastes ridiculously good. Period.
"We could not be more excited to bring a net new brand to the
Canadian market, and especially a brand that packs the punch as
TASTY'S does and meets the rapid growth of the pre-roll segment,"
says Geoff Hoover, Senior Vice
President, Consumer at Aurora. "We leaned into valuable consumer
insights and recent market performance to develop TASTY'S, a brand
that promises the cannabis experience Canadians are seeking at a
price they can feel good about. This is what great innovation looks
like at Aurora."
TASTY'S is the newest brand to join Aurora's leading portfolio
of brands loved by Canadian cannabis consumers, including
Greybeard, San Rafael '71 and Daily Special. The brand takes a
bold approach with a disruptive look and in-store marketing that
differentiate TASTY'S as a brand that is all about flavour and
potency.
Addressing the increasing importance of the pre-roll category,
now ranked second behind the flower category and expected to
deliver further growth, TASTY'S will launch in two primary formats
– vapes and infused pre-rolls. TASTY'S 50% THC infused pre-rolls
are packed with whole milled flower infused with concentrate inputs
and enhanced with botanical terpenes in a 3 x 0.5g pack. The 510
vapes offer up to 1,000mg of THC and huge flavour enhanced by
botanical terpenes contained in a deluxe 1.2g cartridge. A
brand that's all about bold flavour, TASTY'S consumers will
experience the intensity from the likes of blue raspberry, green
apple, watermelon and more.
TASTY'S infused pre-rolls and vapes will be available at
cannabis retailers across Canada,
starting in September. For more information, visit
