Where Earthy Flavour Comes From

According to the Ontario Cannabis Store, a strain's aroma and taste come from its terpenes, the naturally occurring fragrant oils that can make cannabis earthy, woody, spicy or herbal, diesel or cheesy, citrusy or sweet. Research suggests individual terpenes may also play a large role in a strain's potential effects. Of the terpenes we cover, Myrcene is described as spicy, earthy and musky.
