Why You Should Add Terpenes to Your Distillate

As you learn to mix and master your terpenes, you will find many favorite uses for them. One popular application is adding terpenes to distillate, particularly CBD distillate. Adding terpenes to distillate is a much-loved mixing method for many reasons.

Most distillates don’t have much flavor on their own, so adding the right terpenes can greatly significantly enhance the “entourage effect.” Also, since terpenes and CBD distillate are both 100% legal, mixing terpenes and distillate is a safe, cost-effective, and stress-free means of creating delightful products - including muscle rubs, bath oils, skin creams, and more. When you start adding terpenes to distillate, you may be surprised at what you can accomplish.

The Power of Adding Terpenes to Distillate

As cannabis makes inroads to the mainstream and consumers become more interested in its finer points, terpenes have taken on a more central role in the cannabis conversation. Indeed, using the right terpenes is the secret weapon that separates experts from amateurs when it comes to creating excellent cannabis products and experiences.

Whether you’re already a master or you’re just starting out, we recommend adding terpene blends from our new Native Series to your distillate. Why? Because, with the Native Series, we’ve applied our tenacious research, scientific rigor, and unparalleled quality control to isolate and replicate the flavors associated with classic and much-beloved cannabis strains.

If you’ve been involved with cannabis for some time, you know the power of the “gas” aroma for creating an authentic cannabis experience. By adding terpenes from our Native Series to your CBD distillate, you can create blends that delight even the most skeptical of old-school cannabis consumers, and easily convert new ones.

Which terpenes should you start with? That depends on what effects you want to achieve. Here are a few ideas.

Get Powerful Pain Relief With SFV OG

Mix in Cerebral Bliss with King Louie XIII

A little bit of Louie XIII can kickstart a distillate like nothing else can - in a strange and wonderful way.

This heavy regal blend is popular with seasoned chemists and consumers alike. Its earthy pine and wood overtones promote serious, high-octane relaxation, while its familiar and unmistakable cannabis personality turns a CBD distillate into something much more transcendent and memorable.

Satisfy Soul and Spirit with Versatile Gelatti

The heady, galvanizing flavor of Gelatti can mix well with any number of distillates. A cross between Gelato and Biscotti, its pungent, sugary vibe is powerful and can be what you want it to be.

Our most adept terpene chemists have found Gelatti to be quite versatile and a whole lot of fun to mess around with. When consumers of CBD distillates get a taste of it, they know they’re in expert hands.

Indulge in Sweet Nostalgia with Orange Soda
