Live Resin Hemp-Derived Terpenes

Live Resin is ultra premium 100% hemp-derived terpenes, from Farm Bill compliant hemp plants that are selected, grown, harvested, and extracted specifically for flavor-not for cannabinoids. Like all of our terpene products, Live Resin can be used to flavor and add the full Entourage Effect to a wide range of applications. Live Resin delivers authentic cannabis flavor but can be sold and shipped across state lines under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Hemp-derived terpenes are extracted from Farm Bill compliant hemp, versus botanical terpene isolates derived from apples, lavender, rosemary, and other plants. When we extract hemp terpenes for Live Resin, we pull the complete flavor profile, so the result is a truer expression of each unique cannabis flavor profile. There is no THC in Live Resin hemp-derived terpenes.

Hemp terpenes are legal to sell, ship, and transport across state lines under the 2018 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill also protects the right to import and export hemp products internationally, into and by countries in which hemp and international hemp trade are legal.

In short, it's premium genetics, premium cultivation, premium processing. This is the trifecta that allows us to capture the full range of flavor held within each plant at its peak. Here's what it comes down to:

• genetics hand-selected by our team of veteran cannabis breeders & sensory scientists
• cultivars chosen for terpene and flavor production, not cannabinoids
• craft cannabis cultivation methods
• R&D test field where we vet the best-performing cultivars for large-scale cultivation
• field sensory to determine optimal moment for harvest
• flower is harvested by hand (not put through a chipper) to keep trichomes intact
• processing begins immediately after harvest
• proprietary live resin extraction methods

Live Resin can be used to add flavor and effects back into any application, including live resin, concentrates, and distillate. It's a great way to create a premium consumer experience with pre-rolls, vape, concentrate, and more-and it can even reduce losses when used to revitalize tired flower. Working with bulk product? Our Live Resin line of unique, expressive, authentic cannabis flavor profiles can be used to create an entire line of differentiated products from the same batch of bulk extract or distillate.

Start with a lower percentage and add as needed to achieve the desired experience.

• Vape*: 1-5% of total volume. Allow terpenes to steep in distillate for 24 hours before filling carts. Allow distillate to steep inside vape cart for 24 hours before taste testing.
• Concentrate: 1-5% of total volume. Allow terpenes to steep for 24 hours.
• Edibles: 1-3% of total volume. Depending on the type of edible (gummies, chocolates, etc.) this may vary.
• Beverages: Most of our customers would recommend about 0.5ml for every 20,000 ml (20 L). Our terpenes are oil soluble but when paired with an emulsifier (a type of surfactant), they can be used in beverages. Spirits are a little different and easier to work with and don't necessarily need an emulsifier.

Most clients prefer to add the terpenes just after brewing, before fermentation, and after any vigorous mixing to avoid foaming.

Whenever formulating with any True Terpenes products, we strongly recommend testing a small batch first before working at scale. Differences in distillate as well as storage and handling practices at your facility can have an impact on end result, so it's always good practice to test in your own conditions, in the final form factor. (In other words, make a few carts or pre-rolls and taste them before making a large batch.)

*We defer to the FDA, which has not formally recommended any substance to be "generally regarded as safe" for smoking or vaping.

Terpenes are highly concentrated and must always be diluted for use. See "How much should I use?" for mixing guidance. Terpenes are typically added after any heating or vigorous mixing process. If higher heat is required to bring concentrate to a mixable state, allow it to cool to within the temperature limit recommendation range before adding terpenes. Avoid subjecting terpenes to high heat, as it can cause a loss of aromatic compounds and modification of the compounds.

Temperature limit recommendations:

• D9: 70-80°C
• D8: 70-80°C
• CBD: 50-60°C
