Terpenes are aromatic compounds found throughout the plant world. In cannabis, they are a major part of the smell and flavor that make one cultivar feel distinct from another.
Start with aroma, not promises
Terpene names are useful for describing a profile, but they should not be treated as a guaranteed prediction of how a product will affect every person. Human experience depends on more than a single terpene, including the full chemical profile, dose, format, individual tolerance and context.
Three terpenes you will see often at PCC
Limonene
Often associated with citrus-forward aromas such as lemon, orange and bright fruit.
Myrcene
Commonly found in earthy, herbal, musky and ripe-fruit profiles.
Caryophyllene
Known for peppery, woody, spicy and sometimes gassy aromatics.
How PCC uses terpene information
We use primary and secondary terpenes as a discovery tool alongside cultivar, flavor and our broader experience categories. That means you can shop by terpene without pretending that a single molecule tells the whole story.
