Best Terpenes in 2023 - Cannabis Derived!
The best Terpenes of 2023, were also the best Terpenes of 2013. CDTs, also known as Cannabis Derived Terpenes, are exploding in popularity nowadays – and it’s easy to see why. Containing around 200 compounds per fraction, CDT is Cannabis condensed to its purest form. This pungent essential Oil is found within all Cannabis and Hemp plants, and works synergistically with Cannabinoids to enhance your experience with the plant.
With CDTs, instead of taking isolated Terpenoids and mixing them together in an attempt to recreate your favourite strain – we extract the entire Terpene profile directly from the Buds. As with Live Resin, the plants are chopped while live. We then deep freeze, and a Live Resin extraction is performed. The difference is, we further refine this Resin by separating it into its fractions – Cannabinoids, Lipids, and Terpenes. It is by this process that we break the plant down into its basic constituents. The Terpene fraction of this extraction, is the most valuable. Often yielding below 1% in weight, it takes at least 100 grams of fresh flower to produce 1ml of CDT Terpenes – thus, they’re the most valuable, expensive Cannabis product.
CDT vs BDT
The Terpene fraction we end with is a world apart from its botanical counterpart. Sniff a vial of our Zkittlez, and you are transported into a grow room. The day of the chop, plants swaying under the fans, Trichomes glistening like Diamonds under the LM301H Diodes. That intense odour, so powerful it becomes narcotic in and of itself, overwhelms your senses. And puts a wide smile on your face. This does not happen with Botanical Terpenes, which often have a chemical, perfume-like smell. While some BDT’s may smell pleasant, they definitely do not smell like proper Cannabis. How could they? A ‘mixologist’ with a pipette and some chemicals does not have the same expertise as the genetic sequencing found within a Cannabis Plant.
Terpene customers are buying Terpenes to re-invigorate their material with flavour, and with particular effects – whether used on Flower or mixed into Oil. Surely, when using a product designed to enhance, it is better to use the product that has the qualities you would have wanted in your original material? You need to add flavour to your bland, dry Buds; the logical conclusion is to use a substance comprising of the compounds that were already once in your material. Furthermore, when using real Cannabis Terpenes to formulate Oils for vaping, you are out competing 95% of other Cart fillers. Why? Because the overwhelming majority of fillers are focused on keeping their production cost as low as possible. In their minds, as long as the product ‘works’, it suffices. Not to the customer. Many first time users of vapes scoff at them, for their unnatural taste. How can they be sure what they’re consuming, when it doesn’t even taste as it should? Take a vape, fill it with Oil made with CDT’s, and that vape tastes and smells like the Genetics they know and love.
Landrace and Heritage Genetic Terpenes
Our Landrace strains are excellent in this regard. Many of the older generation have fond memories of their favourite strains, where they were when they first tried them, how they felt, what they got up to whilst enjoying the genetic. Sadly, many of these OG strains have been lost in the innovation, overshadowed by Ostentatious sounding strains such as Lemon Cherry Gelato or Wedding Cake. We say this is a travesty. So, to remind our community of the genetics that brought us to where we are today, we have focused a portion of our production to these heritage strains: Nepal Landrace, Hash Plant, Afghan Kush and a Colombian Landrace. It is our intention to bring long forgotten genetics into the 21st Century. Long gone are the 5% Cannabinoid, mud contaminated Hash Bars of years prior. Enjoy these landrace legends in their purest, most tasty form, without any contaminants or worries about Tobacco consumption, pesticides, cuts etcetera. A new way to enjoy old classics, these heritage strains should certainly be on your menu.
Terpenes, being VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), take long to produce – but can be lost in an instant. Every time you open that jar and take a whiff, you are smelling Terpenes that have evaporated from your material. The only way to effectively reintroduce these Terpenes into your material, is by using Terpenes that were derived from that material. By doing so, your product is enhanced, containing the natural Terpenes it should have but at a higher concentration. Enjoy elevated taste, elevated effects, and a higher quality consumption experience by using Cannabis Derived Terpenes. Dominate your market by stocking superior quality products to your competition, and give your tastebuds a treat!
