A Look at Our Hemp-Derived Terpenes for Sale
29th Jan 2024
When it comes to flavor, the isolation of terpenes creates a unique space within the hemp industry. Today we'll delve into the characteristics that set hemp-derived terpenes apart from their cannabis-derived counterparts and discuss their practical applications in flavoring a variety of hemp-based products.
For those who aren't familiar, terpenes are aromatic organic compounds that are found in various plants. They contribute to the distinct smells and tastes associated with those plants. In the context of hemp, these compounds play a key role in shaping the plant's fragrance and the taste of concentrates.
Hemp vs. Cannabis-Derived Terpenes:
The primary difference between hemp-derived and cannabis-derived terpenes lies in the plant source. Hemp and cannabis are both varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant, with the key distinction being THC content. Hemp contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, which leads to hemp plants and the products derived from that being categorized differently from high delta-9 THC cannabis plants.
Hemp-derived terpenes have gained attention for their ability to enhance the flavor profile of hemp-based products. Because a lot of hemp products are developed with isolated cannabinoids, the terpenes have to be reintroduced to the final product in order to provide the desired flavor. Whether developing CBD oils, tinctures, edibles, or topicals, hemp-derived terpenes offer a natural and versatile way to infuse appealing tastes and aromas.
- Flavor Enhancement: Hemp-derived terpenes provide a diverse range of flavors, from earthy and piney to citrusy and fruity depending on the varieties of hemp being used. These flavors can help cover up the taste of cannabinoids in oils and other products.
- Entourage Effect: The synergy between terpenes and cannabinoids, known as the entourage effect, may enhance the overall therapeutic experience. Combining hemp-derived terpenes with cannabinoids offers a more holistic product that many users enjoy.
- Customer Satisfaction: As consumers become more discerning, offering products with unique flavors becomes a key differentiator. Our quality Hemp-derived terpenes provide a flavorful and natural solution to improve the taste of products and capture the attention of a discerning audience.

Which Terpenes to Pick?
Choosing between hemp-derived terpenes and cannabis-derived terpenes often depends on legal considerations, the desired end product, and the specific goals of a business. Here are some reasons why one might opt for hemp-derived terpenes over cannabis-derived terpenes:
Legal Compliance: Hemp-derived terpenes are sourced from industrial hemp, which, according to the 2018 Farm Bill, must contain less than 0.3% THC. This legal threshold distinguishes hemp from cannabis with higher THC levels. Using hemp-derived terpenes ensures compliance with federal regulations, allowing for the creation and distribution of products without the legal complications associated with cannabis-derived terpenes.
Wider Market Access: Hemp-derived terpenes offer a broader market reach. Most parts of the country have legalized the cultivation and use of industrial hemp, allowing for the extraction and utilization of hemp-derived terpenes in products. This broader legality can facilitate the distribution and sale of products across different jurisdictions.
Consumer Preference: Some consumers prefer products with lower or no THC content. By using hemp-derived terpenes, despite the fact that cannabis derived terpenes also contain no THC, businesses can cater to this segment of the market and appeal to individuals seeking the potential benefits of terpenes without the psychoactive effects associated with higher THC levels.
Diverse Aromatic Profiles: Hemp-derived terpenes provide a wide range of aromatic profiles, offering flavors from earthy and piney to citrusy and fruity. This diversity allows for versatile flavor formulations, providing flexibility for product development.
Cost: Hemp is more affordable than cannabis, so our hemp derived terpenes for sale tend to also be more affordable. Our quality hemp derived terpenes offer bold flavors that can rival cannabis derived terps at a lower price point. While some businesses might be interested in the classic strain names attached to cannabis derived products, there's big savings and big flavor in hemp.
Using hemp-derived terpenes may mitigate legal and regulatory risks associated with cannabis-derived products. Businesses can navigate a more predictable regulatory landscape, avoiding potential challenges related to varying cannabis regulations across the country.
It's essential for businesses to carefully consider their target market, legal constraints, and consumer preferences when deciding whether to use hemp-derived or cannabis-derived terpenes. By understanding the distinctions and potential implications, businesses can make informed choices that align with their goals and the regulatory environment in which they operate while offering the best and tastiest products possible.
