What is Terpinolene?
Terpinolene is one of the cannabis plant’s 200 terpenes. Terpenes are natural chemical compounds that have protective effects and fragrant aromas. The unique combination of terpenes in a cannabis plant is what gives each strain its different flavors and medicinal benefits.
Terpinolene is found in many cannabis strains, but usually in small amounts. Unlike other terpenes that have a distinct flavor profile, terpinolene is multi-dimensional. You’ll notice floral, pine, herbaceous, and citrus notes. It is also found in plants like nutmeg, cumin, apples, tea tree, and lilac.
