Elements Papers in Queens hands.
rice-based rolling papers.
Live at Terp Bros NYC — both Astoria and Ozone Park counters carry this brand. Products go through New York OCM’s regulated testing framework before they hit the shelf.
What Elements Papers means at the Terp Bros counter.
Elements is the rolling paper brand Terp Bros stocks alongside the flower at both Astoria and Ozone Park — the rice-based paper Queens shoppers grab when they want a clean burn and minimal taste interference. It is not a cannabis brand; it is the accessory the budtenders hand across the counter when a customer buys flower and asks for papers. The papers run thin, burn even, and leave less ash than most wood-pulp alternatives, which is why they end up in the rotation for people who care what their joint actually tastes like. Astoria customers leaving the Ditmars store with an eighth and a Clipper tend to add a pack of Elements without a second thought. Same energy on Cross Bay Blvd. The brand was created by Josh Kesselman — the same founder behind RAW — as a tribute to his father's favorite Spanish rolling paper, Marfil. Originally founded in 1995 and produced in Spain under HBI International, Elements landed on the Terp Bros counter for the same reason it landed at every serious smoke spot in New York: it is the paper that does not get in the way of the flower.
Terp Bros carries Elements because every flower buyer eventually becomes a paper buyer. The rice-based build matches the Queens shopper who reads COAs on flower and does not want a wood-pulp paper undercutting the terpenes they just paid for. Pair an Elements pack with a Dank By Definition eighth or Doobie Labs flower, add a Clipper, and that is the most repeated counter combo at both stores. It is shelved with the other accessories — not because it is an afterthought, but because it is the default add-on to a serious flower purchase. The clean-burn property is what makes it a budtender recommendation, not just a stocked item.
Watching a customer roll an Elements at home after a Terp Bros run — the paper disappears into the joint, the seal goes clean, and the only ash left when the session ends is near-white. That clean burn is the entire pitch for the brand in five seconds, and it is why every Queens regular who pays attention to flower quality eventually ends up with a pack of Elements in their kit alongside the Clipper.
Out of Spain, on the Queens shelf today.
Elements Papers originated in 1995 in Spain. Like every brand on our wall, it earned its spot only after passing the New York OCM compliance lab and our buyer’s shelf review. What lands on Ditmars and Cross Bay is the same formulation the brand makes everywhere — held to the same independent test we hold our Hudson Valley growers to.
What folks ask about Elements Papers.
Q.01Are Elements Papers sold at Terp Bros NYC?
Yes. Elements Papers are stocked as a counter accessory at both Terp Bros Astoria (36-10 Ditmars Blvd) and Terp Bros Ozone Park (135-26 Cross Bay Blvd). They sit on the accessory shelf alongside Clipper lighters, rolling trays, and other papers. As a non-cannabis accessory, Elements does not require NY OCM lab testing — but the brand pairs directly with any flower purchase on the Terp Bros menu and is one of the most-recommended papers at the counter.
Q.02What does Elements make that lives at Terp Bros?
Elements is a rolling paper brand — that is the category. At Terp Bros, the paper packs sit in the accessories rack alongside the lighters and other rolling gear. The papers are rice-based and built for a clean, even burn with minimal flavor interference, which is why they end up paired with the top-shelf flower SKUs at the register. The brand also makes related rolling accessories at the parent level, but at Terp Bros the rolling paper packs are the headline Elements stock.
Q.03Why pick Elements Papers over other rolling papers?
Two reasons Queens regulars cite at the counter. First, Elements is rice-based — the burn is cleaner and the taste interference is lower than wood-pulp papers, which matters if you are smoking terpene-forward flower from brands like Connected or Dank By Definition. Second, the paper is thin enough to disappear in the joint, leaving a near-white ash and not competing with the flavor of the flower. Pair it with a Clipper and a top-shelf eighth and that is the standard Terp Bros take-home.
Q.04Where in Queens can I get Elements Papers?
Both Terp Bros locations stock Elements: 36-10 Ditmars Blvd in Astoria (N/W to Astoria-Ditmars) and 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd in Ozone Park (A train). Pick up a pack at the counter with any flower purchase — it is the default rolling paper for shoppers who care about taste and clean burn. Originally founded in 1995 and made in Spain under HBI International, Elements is part of the Josh Kesselman family of paper brands alongside RAW, created as a tribute to his father's favorite Spanish paper, Marfil.
