The term Cannabis-Derived Terpenes (CDT) refers to the complete essential oil extracted from the cannabis plant. This essential oil includes both terpenes and non-terpene components that together create the plant's unique and distinct aroma. Unlike isolated terpenes sourced from other plants, the non-terpene elements in cannabis essential oil cannot be replicated effectively, making CDTs highly valuable. Cannabis-derived terpenes are currently sought after for flavoring products intended to smell just like the plant in its natural form. They capture the full-bodied aroma unique to each specific cannabis varietal, not just some of its parts.
Before you buy cannabis derived terpenes, you want to be sure you get exactly what you're looking for. Not all CDTs come from the plant.
First, let's discuss the key factors that help you determine if you're buying a pure CDT or not.
Choosing the correct CDT profile is extremely important as it can effect the smell and taste of your final product and because you want it to compliment your formulation perfectly.
Pure CDTs give your products a more natural taste and smell that is hard to mimic using botanicals alone. Blends that use CDTs and botanicals are good cost-effective options, but pure is alway the best way to go.
Using pure CDTs maintains the true essence of the plant along with it's entourage effects since the terpenes are pulled directly from the plant during the first pass.
When it comes to buying and using pure CDTs, here's what you want to pay close attention to in order to avoid simple mistakes that cost you money.

When you are formulation, the key is to start low and increase as needed and in small increments.
