These cannabis grades use AA, AAA and AAAA to organize flower by an operator’s assessment of overall presentation and quality. Eon adds AAAAA Reserve as a fourth, more selective tier.
Cannabis grades: the four Eon flower tiers
- AA Value: straightforward flower positioned around value. Appearance, trim or aroma may be less refined than higher store grades.
- AAA Premium: a middle tier intended to balance presentation, aroma, trim and price.
- AAAA Quad: flower assigned to the store’s higher tier after considering several visible and descriptive quality signals.
- AAAAA Reserve: a limited top tier for flower the operator considers notably strong across its complete listing and presentation.
What Eon considers when assigning a grade
A grade can consider the information available for a batch: visual structure, trim, moisture and cure, aroma description, consistency, handling and overall presentation. No single measurement creates the grade, and a high potency number does not automatically make a product a higher grade.
What the grade does not tell you
The labels do not predict exactly how an individual will experience a product. They are not laboratory results, health guidance or industry certification. Grades can also differ between stores because there is no single independent body assigning AA through AAAA labels across the Canadian market.
How to compare two flower listings
- Confirm the current size and price.
- Read the grade as an operator comparison within Eon.
- Compare the listed THC and CBD units without treating potency as the only quality signal.
- Review the strain type, aroma and flavour description.
- Check stock and any batch-specific details displayed on the listing.
