🎙️ Terp Basel Miami 2025 – Episode 5: Tony Verzura (Blue River Terps)

For Episode 5 of the Terp Basel Miami 2025 series, JP sits down with Tony Verzura, founder of Blue River Terps — one of the most respected names in solventless hash and terpene preservation.

Blue River Terps has built its reputation on doing things the right way: fresh frozen material, ice water extraction, real craftsmanship, and an obsession with flavor. Tony has been a major force in pushing solventless forward, helping elevate hash from underground art form to globally respected craft.

In this episode, Tony also introduces two brand-new products that are changing the way people experience cannabis:

🔥 The Pioca — a double-concentrated hash product unlike anything currently on the market.
⚡ Ampersand — a fast-acting powder edible that kicks in within 15 minutes, bringing a whole new lane to the edible game.

We get into Tony’s journey into hash, the early days of Blue River, and what it takes to consistently produce elite solventless at scale. We also talk terpene preservation, cultivar selection, and why innovation matters just as much as tradition.

Terp Basel was the perfect place for this conversation — surrounded by growers, hash makers, and flavor chasers from around the world. Tony breaks down what separates real craft from shortcuts and why solventless is more than a trend — it’s the future.
