If you’ve explored CBD oils, vape products, rosin, resin, or full spectrum extracts, chances are you’ve come across the word terpenes. While often associated with hemp and cannabis products, terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found throughout nature — including citrus fruits, pine trees, herbs, and flowers.
In the CBD world, terpenes are best known for contributing to the aroma, flavour, and overall character of different hemp extracts. From bright citrus and pine notes to creamy dessert-like blends and earthy herbal profiles, terpenes help create the unique identity behind many modern CBD products.
At Improved Health, we believe education is just as important as quality products. Whether you’re completely new to CBD or already exploring advanced extracts, understanding terpenes can help you make more informed choices about the products you use.

What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds naturally produced by plants. They help give plants their distinctive smell, taste, and character. For example:
- Citrus fruits contain limonene
- Lavender contains linalool
- Pine trees contain pinene
Hemp plants also naturally produce terpenes, which is why different hemp strains can smell and taste completely different from one another.
In hemp extracts, terpenes are commonly found in:
- Full spectrum CBD oils
- Broad spectrum products
- Rosin and resin extracts
- CBD & CBG vape products
- Cannabis-derived terpene blends
For many users, terpenes are an important part of the overall hemp experience because they contribute to the flavour, aroma, and complexity of a product.

Why Are Terpenes Popular in CBD Products?
As CBD products continue to evolve, more people are looking beyond just cannabinoid percentages and becoming interested in the full plant profile of an extract.
Many experienced users seek out terpene-rich products because they enjoy:
- More natural flavour profiles
- Strain-inspired experiences
- Full spectrum hemp extracts
- Greater product customisation
Terpenes are commonly discussed alongside cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBC, and other naturally occurring plant compounds found in hemp.
For beginners, terpenes can also make products feel more approachable by helping users identify flavour profiles they already enjoy — whether that’s citrus, fruity, earthy, pine, or creamy dessert-style blends.

Different Types of Terpenes Explained
There are many terpene profiles available, each offering its own distinctive aroma and flavour characteristics.
Citrus Terpenes
Often bright, zesty, and refreshing. Commonly associated with limonene-rich profiles.
Pine & Herbal Terpenes
Fresh, earthy, and classic hemp-inspired aromas often linked with pinene and herbal botanical profiles.
Sweet & Creamy Terpenes
Popular in dessert-inspired profiles featuring smooth vanilla, fruity, or candy-like notes.
Gassy & Earthy Terpenes
Bold, rich, and more traditional strain-style profiles popular among experienced hemp users.
At Improved Health, we offer:

- Hemp-derived terpenes
- Cannabis-derived terpenes
- Botanical terpene blends
This gives customers the flexibility to explore different profiles and customise their experience.
Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum & Terpenes
One of the biggest differences between CBD products often comes down to their cannabinoid and terpene content.
Full Spectrum Products
Contain a wider range of naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant.
Broad Spectrum Products
Contain multiple cannabinoids while typically removing detectable THC content.
Isolate Products
Contain only a single cannabinoid without the wider plant profile.
Many users interested in full spectrum extracts actively look for terpene-rich products because they enjoy the more complete hemp profile these formulations can provide.
