Live Terpenes

Live terpenes are the terpenes found in live resin and live rosin: the bright aroma of fresh cannabis that hasn't been dried or cured. We capture our Live CDTs from fresh flower straight from the field, never frozen, and sell them on their own, so you can add that live aroma to carts, distillate and concentrates. From $57 for 3 mL, each with its lab summary on the product page.

When to choose live

Choose live when the first draw should smell like fresh flower: high end carts, live resin and live rosin. Live resin cartridges made with the terpene technology behind Lágrimas del Sol placed 2nd (Lemon Cake, 2019) and 3rd (Strawberry Banana, 2021) at the Emerald Cup. Compare both formats in our live vs cured guide.

Curious what you're smelling? Our guides to myrcene and terpinolene, two of the main terpenes in these profiles, explain each one.

FAQ

What are cannabis terpenes? 

Terpenes are the aroma compounds a cannabis plant makes in the same resin glands as THC and CBD. They give each strain its smell and much of its flavor. Lágrimas del Sol terpenes are captured from cannabis flower and test at 0.0% cannabinoids.

How do cannabis terpenes enhance flavor and aroma?

Processing such as distillation strips out most of a strain's terpenes. Adding cannabis derived terpenes back puts that strain's aroma and flavor into the finished product. Most vape cart formulations start at 4 to 8% by weight; our dosing guide explains how much to add.

Can I buy cannabis terpenes online here?

Yes. Every profile is sold online from 3 mL: live from $57 and cured from $51. Shipping is free in the US on orders of $150 or more, and the Discovery Trio lets you try any 3 profiles for $139.

What applications do cannabis terpenes have?

Our buyers use them to add strain aroma to distillate and vape carts, to pre rolls and flower as a terp spray, to concentrates such as live resin and rosin, and to cannabis beverages.
