Terpenes Degrade Fast

It was once said, and tested, that cannabis plants lose up to 80% of their terpenes after harvest and the several week drying period. A natural result of the drying process, the most volatile terpenes are quickly lost along with the majority of the terpene spectrum.

How We Saved The Terps

For decades we wondered, how is it possible to indulge and enjoy the cannabis plant exactly like it is at the moment of harvest? And for anyone who hasn't harvested a fresh and fruitful cannabis plant, take our word for it, the smell is incredible. But by the end of a two week drying period, the cannabis flower looks unlike the living plant and has lost a good majority of the terpene spectrum. It's how cannabis has always been, a dried version of the original fruit.

Fresh Fruit or Dried?

Speaking of fruits, the fruit of the cannabis plant is it's trichome glands, that line the surface of female plants during the flowering period. With the plant's cannabinoids, like THC and CBD and it's full spectrum of flavorful terpenes residing in these trichome gland heads, these are the fruit of the harvest.
