Hemp Terpenes

The short answer is that these are exactly like what you’re thinking of by saying “live resin” terpenes - except “live resin terpenes” is really a misnomer in the first place.

“Live resin” is a honey-like concentrate created from fresh frozen cannabis via hydrocarbon extraction. By contrast, “live resin terps” almost never come from that concentrate - it makes no economic sense and isn’t what most people think they’re buying.

Our brand name “Live Resin” refers to steam-distilled hemp-derived terpenes. They’re distilled from fresh (never frozen) live flower and further refined using molecular distillation, all under the USDA Organic standards. So you get a product that truly captures the essence of the plant - without the misleading label.

Some brands may source hemp from organic-certified farms, but that doesn’t mean their final extracts are USDA Organic-certified. Without full certification, there’s no guarantee that the extraction process, handling, and final product meet organic standards. Terplandia™ is different.

We complete the entire process under USDA Organic certification - from seed to extraction to final bottling. That means no synthetic additives, no questionable solvents, and no uncertainty. With Terplandia™, you get full transparency, full compliance, and the peace of mind that every drop is truly organic.

No - using USDA Organic-certified terpenes is a great start, but your final product must go through its own organic certification to be officially labeled as organic. Certification ensures that every ingredient and processing step meets USDA standards.

That said, Terplandia gives you the cleanest, purest foundation possible. With 100% USDA Organic-certified hemp terpenes, you can trust that your supply chain is free from synthetic additives, pesticides, and contaminants - giving you a major advantage when pursuing organic certification for your own product.

Our Hemp-Derived Terpenes are created from an extraction of live hemp flower, containing a full range of aromatic compounds: terpenes, aldehydes, esters, ketones, thiols, alcohols, and more. It’s a very “full” flavor profile.

By contrast, our botanically-derived terpenes (BDT) are a formulation based on our industry-leading analytics. Both have their place: HDT can add that extra dank, earthy, or herbal note, while BDT can deliver specific, targeted aromas - like fruity or dessert flavors.

Neither is “better”; they’re just different tools to achieve your desired flavor goal. With USDA Organic certification and 2nd Generation breeding, our Hemp-Derived Terpenes are becoming richer and more diverse with every harvest - the only ones officially certified on the market.

Just like any other terpenes! Hemp-Derived Terpenes are a great way to elevate your brand portfolio with unique products that drive growth across multiple applications.

• Flavor your distillate/concentrates
• Add dank flavor to your edibles
• Infuse your pre-rolls and flower
• Combine with botanically-derived terpenes to create entirely new profiles

Because our USDA Organic, 2nd Generation Hemp-Derived Terpenes capture a truly authentic essence, each application benefits from their potent, natural aroma.

Absolutely. We offer a wide range of botanical terps so you can create truly unique combinations. Here are three of our favorite ideas:

Example One: Pair HDT with our Cloudburst Series for a dank, earthy base plus intense fruity or dessert top notes.

Example Two: Mix HDT with our Native Series for added gassy or skunky notes (e.g., King Louie XIII).

Example Three: Go all out - use HDT as the base, add Native Series for skunkiness, then finish with Cloudburst for fruity explosions.

With our 2nd Gen HDT, these combos become even more dynamic, reflecting an evolving flavor and aroma profile that only gets better each year - and can claim the exclusivity of USDA Organic certification.

Single-source means we’re not creating mystery blends. Every bottle contains the extract from the specific cultivar on the label - no mixing with other genetics. You’re getting the pure, unadulterated flavor and aroma of that individual cultivar.

We also maintain control over the entire process - USDA Organic cultivation, genetic selection, planting, harvesting, extracting, refining, and delivery. Single-source means we can guarantee the highest quality product from start to finish.

“Full spectrum” is a marketing term that doesn’t really apply to isolated terpenes alone. While our Hemp-Derived Terpenes do include the full range of aromatic compounds, they lack cannabinoids, which are required for a product to be labeled truly “full spectrum.”

However, you can use these terpenes to create full-spectrum finished products by combining them with a rich cannabinoid base. Our USDA Organic Terplandia™ Terpenes are half the equation - the other half is choosing an extract or distillate that contains a broad range of major and minor cannabinoids.

You need two things:

• A full range of cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN, THCv, etc.).
• A full range of flavor & aroma compounds (terpenes, flavonoids, esters, ketones, thiols, aldehydes, etc.).

By combining our 2nd Generation USDA Organic Hemp-Derived Terpenes with a multi-cannabinoid extract, you can create truly robust, full-spectrum products.

In short - no. We don’t label them as CDT because they come from hemp, not high-THC cannabis.

Hemp and cannabis are technically the same species (Cannabis sativa L.), but their breeding histories differ. We’re selectively breeding hemp specifically for flavor and aroma, and this is our second generation of doing so. It may take several more generations to fully close the gap with high-THC cannabis, which has had decades of selective breeding.

Still, these terps are robust, authentic, and officially USDA Organic - a clear indication of our quality and sustainable approach, which sets us apart from competitors’ claims of “organic” without certification.

Founded in 2018 by Christine Miller and Taher Afghani, Terplandia is rooted in the desire to educate and deliver the highest quality natural terpenes. Just real people, growing real flowers, producing real products - no fillers, no additives, no adulterants.

Thanks to our second-generation hemp-breeding program and exclusive USDA Organic certification, we’re pushing the boundaries of what hemp-derived terpenes can offer in terms of flavor, aroma, and overall quality.

We believe in transparency and authenticity - because at the end of the day, the best terpenes come straight from the source.
