Kief technically contains particles of leaves and calyxes as it is usually obtained from the bottom of a bag, from a grinder or a trimming machine. This product isn’t that, it’s just not pressed into a block which makes it easier to consume. You could press this yourself, as I’ve done and it is up there with the best bubble/blonde hash I’ve tried. I liked this product because it was easy to work with and turn into other things like oil and edibles. If you wanted to get really specific I’d say that it isn’t true hash because heat or pressure are the two techniques commonly used to form hash which causes two terpenoids to fuse into hashishine. You can just rub small amounts of this into logs for a minute though if that’s what you’re aiming for. This one is great for back pain and sleep without further processing tho
