StaffHouse of Saka, Inc., producer of the first and only alcohol-free, award-winning cannabis-infused wines from the iconic Napa Valley appellation, announced today an exclusive partnership with Carbidex LLC Michigan, a family-owned holding entity with companies rooted in the cannabis and facilities management industries, to provide full-service manufacturing, bottling, and distribution. The Michigan market has become incredibly important in the cannabis industry. The Anderson Economic Group found that one in five Michigan residents used cannabis in 2020 – an increase of 75% since 2010. “We estimated that Michigan’s cannabis industry totaled $3.1 billion in 2020. In 2020, retailers reported sales of approximately $1.0 billion. The remainder of cannabis consumed across the state came from non-retail sources, including home cultivation, medical caregivers, and illicit adult-use sales.”
The first of House of Saka’s luxury-infused beverages, Saka Spark Mimosa, will launch at Carbidex’s retail locations: The Botanical Co.. this spring. Available in 187ml, single-serve champagne bottles, House of Saka Spark & Mimosa is the first and only cannabis-infused beverage to blend premium, alcohol-removed California sparkling Chardonnay with Mimosa
strain-specific live resin and natural essence of orange blossom and nectarine. The result is all the flavor and celebration of a traditional Mimosa without the negative effects and unwanted
calories of alcohol.
“Partnering with companies that exemplify our mission to ‘bring good people together and enhance lives by creating extraordinary cannabis experiences’ is crucial to us,” stated Carbidex
Founder and CEO Russell Chambers. “The team at House of Saka embodies our core values and mission. We are honored to bring the extraordinary House of Saka products to the Michigan market.”
House of Saka, Inc. and Carbidex came together based on a strong set of shared values and beliefs. The core mission of the Carbidex family of companies remains committed to supporting the backbone of the industry; caregivers and small businesses. Our customers & patients remain at the core of what we do and to ensure they continue to have access to the products they rely on, we only source the highest quality products from companies that align with our mission. The team and products with the House of Saka perfectly align with all of our values and core beliefs.
“Finding a partner who shares our quality standards and core values was our most important goal,” explains Tracey Mason, Co-founder & CEO. “The team and mission of Carbidex was a
perfect match. Their incredible knowledge of beverages, manufacturing, and the Michigan market made their partnership the best possible fit for our combined goals.”
