PITTSFIELD, MA, October 26, 2020 – Berkshire Roots continues to deliver innovative cannabis products,
with the introduction of the first Massachusetts collaboration between a "mainstream” food company,
No. Six Depot Roastery and Café, and a Massachusetts cannabis cultivator.
Berkshire Roots has officially announced the launch of the first local product collaboration with their
Berkshires neighbors, No. Six Depot, a multi-award winning roastery and café with headquarters in West
Stockbridge, MA. Curating the best possible ingredients for Berkshire Roots’ products is one of the cannabis
provider’s top priorities. The new partnership began a year ago resulting in a premium blend of ingredients
for Berkshire Roots’ infused Cold Brew Coffee Chocolate Bar.
The special edition, Premium Cold Brew Coffee, Belgian Style Dark Chocolate THC Infused Bar is a unique
opportunity to combine the No. Six Depot Roastery and Café coffee expertise and high-quality standards
with Berkshire Roots 'own product mission.
Six Depot's Cold Brew is a mix of aged, Monsooned Malabar and high grown Brazil Oberon coffee beans
which creates a smooth, chocolate-y, almost cognac quality with virtually no acidity. Mixing that with
Berkshire Roots’ delicious, Belgian Style dark chocolate and exceptional high-quality THC distillate
creates a premium, infused experience.
The No. Six Depot team was thrilled to add their brand to a cannabis creation including their specially
sourced coffee beans. The partnership provides No. Six Depot the ability to expand their brand into
cannabis and provides Berkshire Roots the opportunity to incorporate a well-known, well-respected
local company into its product offering.
“No. Six Depot is thrilled to work with Berkshire Roots on this collaboration to create such a unique
consumer experience. Our companies have many things in common as we each put great emphasis on
choosing the highest quality, most ethically sourced ingredients and processes - for us, including our
coffee beans sourced from around the world.” said Flavio Lichtenthal, No. Six Depot’s co-owner.
Berkshire Roots is dedicated to evolving its edible ingredients and offerings and this collaboration marks
a milestone for the company as well as the Massachusetts’ cannabis industry in general. According to
Berkshire Roots’ CEO, James Winokur, “The cannabis industry has shown its passion for creating unique
products and, in some states, interesting partnerships have developed between traditional companies
and cannabis companies. We are so excited for our customers to taste this amazing chocolate bar which
could not have happened without the support and interest of Six Depot. We want to be on the leading
edge of cannabis product innovation and this first-in-the-state collaboration demonstrates our ability to
deliver on that vision.”
