Caryophyllene Terpene Cannabis Strains

These premium cannabis strains from Namaste are high in caryophyllene, a terpene with peppery, spicy aromas.

Terpenes like caryophyllene (or beta-caryophyllene, as it’s sometimes known) occur naturally in cannabis plants. Caryophyllene is responsible for the peppery, warm, spicy smell of some strains. A little bit pungent, a little bit spicy, caryophyllene is also found in hops, rosemary, cloves and cinnamon.

Caryophyllene stands out for its pronounced pepper notes. Like adding black pepper on your favourite dish, this terpene really adds a kick to cannabis strains that contain it.

Scientists are researching caryophyllene to investigate its potential uses as a pain reliever, antioxidant, antidepressant, and to help people consume less alcohol.
