Terpenes are not exclusive to cannabis. They are found throughout plants: citrus peel, pine needles, pepper, lavender, hops. In cannabis, they help create the aroma and give you clues about the product character.
Read the top terpene first
The first terpene in the list is usually the clearest clue. Myrcene-forward products often read heavier, limonene-forward products often read brighter, and caryophyllene-forward products often bring a peppery, grounded note.
Total terpenes tells you how loud the profile is
Total terpene percentage is a volume knob. Around 1 to 2 percent can be subtle. Around 3 to 4 percent often means a more aromatic, expressive batch.
Terpenes are clues, not guarantees
Your dose, tolerance, form, CBD level, and setting still matter. Terpenes give a better read than strain names alone, but your own journal is what turns a clue into a pattern.
