Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a Perfect Score
Not a 97. Not a 99 with a polite note about "room to grow." A perfect 100. Twice. Same brand, two flavors, one blind judging panel, zero mercy. Paradise Pineapple and Radical Raspberry both walked into the Pr%f Awards 2025 Best of Show at 10mg and came out the other side with matching perfect scores. That does not happen. And then it did.
Welcome aboard. Your seat was apparently waiting.
What Pr%f Actually Is (And Why Blind Judging Changes Everything)
The Pr%f Awards are the cannabis and hemp industry's version of a no-favors taste panel. Judges do not know what they are drinking. No brand name on the cup, no beautiful can to fall in love with, no friendly rep hovering nearby. Just the liquid, the effect, and a scorecard. It is the format that strips out every shortcut a brand might lean on and leaves only the thing that actually matters: does it work, and does it taste like something you want again?
Best of Show is the top of that pile. Not "best in category." Not "judges' honorable mention." Best. Of. Show. The kind of score that makes the other entries nod slowly and say "yeah, fair."
Both flavors hit a perfect 100. That is not a marketing spin. That is arithmetic.
The Part That Is Actually Wild: the Buzz Scored Too
Here is where it gets interesting, because the Pr%f panel does not just score flavor. It scores the full experience: onset, effect quality, consistency, the whole flight from first sip to wheels down. Which means when Paradise Pineapple and Radical Raspberry each pulled a perfect 100, the buzz was part of that math.
And that is exactly the point. Orchard was never just a pretty can. The native botanical nootropic (NCN) formula underneath uses a TTS emulsion that makes the Delta-9 water-compatible and fast-acting, typically landing in under 15 minutes. The effect is bright, balanced, and social, the kind that keeps you in the conversation instead of sending you sideways out of it. The judges noticed. A blind panel, no context, no branding, just the drink doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
If you want to see the third-party lab work behind the formula, the lab results are right here. Not hidden in a drawer. Right here.
What a Perfect 100 Feels Like at 10mg
The 10mg dose is the sweet spot for a reason. It is enough to feel the shift, golden and easy, shoulders dropping, the evening getting a little warmer and a little funnier, without anything that asks more of you than you want to give. The Pr%f panel scored this dose specifically, which means the award is not for a 50mg hammer. It is for a drink that works beautifully right where most people want to be.
Paradise Pineapple arrives like a flight path toward somewhere with palm trees and no agenda. Radical Raspberry is a little more electric, a little more "let's actually go out," the kind of can you crack when the night is still deciding what it wants to be. Two different climates. Same perfect score. Book the pineapple flight here or board the raspberry one here. Your gate, your call.
Why This Award Matters More Than Most
The hemp and cannabis space has a lot of brands promising a lot of things. Bold claims are easy. Perfect blind scores are not. When a panel that cannot see your label, your origin story, or your very good Instagram aesthetic hands you a 100, that is the market telling you something real.
It also lands at a specific moment. Functional beverages are pulling hard toward the center of how adults socialize. The question "what are we drinking tonight?" now has more interesting answers than it did three years ago. Orchard's answer just scored a perfect 100 at Best of Show. That is a pretty good answer.
If you are curious about the wider world of what goes into a drink like this, the dose-control guide is worth a read before you fly.
The Local Move
Do not just buy the winner. Try them side by side on the same evening, pineapple first, raspberry second, about an hour apart. One is a golden coast afternoon; the other is where the night goes after the sun drops. The judges scored them both perfectly and separately. You can do the same research. We call it the double-blind taste test. The only difference is you already know what brand you are drinking, and honestly, that part is not a secret worth keeping.
Find both, plus every other flavor in the lineup, at the shop or check a store near you.
Cleared for takeoff. The bar is now at 100.
