About Terpenes

Terpenes are organic compounds that occur naturally in plants and certain animals. They play a crucial role in producing the distinct aromas, flavors, and even colors that are associated with different types of vegetation. When it comes to cannabis, terpenes are responsible for the unique smells and tastes that differentiate one strain from another.
