🕒 Estimated read time: 2 minutesTerpenes are nature’s aromatic wonders — the compounds behind the distinctive scents of citrus fruits, pine forests, and even your favourite herbs. In the world of hemp and cannabis, terpenes play a crucial role in shaping the flavour, aroma, and experience of different strains. This guide explores what terpenes are, why they matter, and how you can explore their diverse profiles in 2025.
🌿 What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in plants, responsible for their unique aromas and flavours. They’re what give lavender its soothing scent, lemons their zesty zing, and pine needles their refreshing sharpness.
In the plant world, terpenes:
- Attract pollinators
- Repel pests
- Help plants recover from damage
Today, terpenes are also being explored in essential oils, aromatherapy, and botanical products for their aromatic and sensory benefits.
🌿 What Are Cannabis Terpenes?
Cannabis terpenes are the aromatic compounds found in hemp and cannabis plants. They are what give different strains their signature scent and flavour, from earthy and musky to sweet and citrusy.
While CBD and THC get the most attention, terpenes are the unsung heroes shaping the character and appeal of each variety. There are over 100+ known cannabis terpenes, each contributing to the overall sensory profile.
Good to Know: Terpenes can also interact with cannabinoids (known as the "entourage effect"), enhancing the overall experience.
