What is humulene?
Humulene is a terpene that was first found in the oils of the hops plant. As a member of the Cannabaceae family, hops are a close relative of cannabis and humulene gives both plants a distinctive bitter, earthy taste.
What does humulene smell like?
Humulene can give weed plants a distinct hoppy scent that reminds one of their favourite beer.
Humulene can also deliver subtle hints of wood, spices, and herbs. When humulene is found in weed, it’s most commonly found in sativas.
Other plants that contain humulene include basil, coriander, cloves, and black pepper. The somewhat bitter, crisp taste and smell of humulene is partially responsible for the complex flavours and aromas of these plants, as well as certain strains of weed.
