Everything you need to know about the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinct aromas and flavours.

WHAT ARE TERPENES?

Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They're responsible for the complex aromas and flavour profiles that make each cannabis cultivar unique.

    Terpenes give plants their distinctive smells and tastes. For example, some terpenes create citrusy, piney, fruity, or earthy aromas in cannabis.
