Facility

Built for manufacturing, not for display

The laboratory sits in El Tejar, El Guarco, in the province of Cartago, at the eastern end of Costa Rica's Central Valley. It was designed around one flow: flower in, tested medicine out.

Separate areas handle receipt and quarantine, extraction, formulation, filling, packaging and quality control. Materials move forward through the building, never backwards.

  • Incoming flower comes from EU-GACP certified cultivation at Hybrida Farms.
  • We are licensed. We do not claim GMP or pharmaceutical certification.

Process

Five stages, each documented

MANUFACTURING: GMP / THC products formulated and produced

  1. 01

    Receipt

    Dried flower arrives from Hybrida Farms with batch documentation, is weighed, reconciled and held in quarantine until sampling is complete.

  2. 02

    Extraction

    Approved material is extracted under controlled, recorded parameters. Yields and solvent records are reconciled per batch.

  3. 03

    Formulation

    Extracts are standardised and formulated into the target presentation: oils, syrups or tablets, against a written specification.

  4. 04

    Filling and packaging

    Product is filled, closed, labelled and coded in a controlled area, with line clearance and reconciliation records.

  5. 05

    Testing and release

    Each batch is tested for potency, purity, microbiology, heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins. Documentation is reviewed before release.
