Our Goals

Denver Terpenes Is proud to present a video series that is based around helping people understand exactly what terpenes are and how they can be used. There seems to be a lot of misinformation and lack of consumer education readily available. We want to change that. So instead of boring you for hours and hours we want to make the education easy to digest, while still being thorough enough to make you feel like you truly learned some worth learning. Plus we will be showcasing a ton of products, doing several giveaways, and maybe even have some fun while doing it.

Who Are We

The origins of Denver Terpenes starts in 2008 where the CEO met a good friend in college. His father owned a large essential oil manufacturing facility that was founded over 100 years ago. This company has ties to some of the largest ​nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, candy & soda manufacturers in world. They are known for producing the highest quality products with the highest standards that have to pass FDA regulations on a daily basis.

As they saw their products were extremely applicable to the cannabis industry, and with terpenes becoming a very hot topic over the last several years it was an easy decision to make. They saw an opportunity to become an industry leader in the blooming cannabis industry without having to actually enter the market. The current CEO  and founder of Denver Terpenes, saw an opportunity to fill the gap needed and has been assisting the cannabis, wine, beer, CBD, industries ever since.

Our Story

Since November of 2014, Denver Terpenes, has been working towards bringing the highest grade terpenes possible to cannabis industry. 
​
The start 2015 was mainly dealing business plans, but in that Summer, we started marketing our services. We quickly began receiving calls daily from extractors who were looking into using terpenes inside their product. I mean at that time there was only one other company "Mr Extractor" providing a similar service. There was a lot of consultation about isolated terpenes, ratios, blends, tools, and material compatibility. In November 2015 we launched our online store and our line of flavorings. This site was exclusive to extraction companies. We then started taking on dozens of clients by the end the year.

The first few months of 2016 were dedicated to starting the research behind our strain specific blends, but more on that later. Our main goal  was getting  isolated terpenes into the hands of as many extractors as possible. We knew that we that market needed as many educated individuals as possible to experiment and help the grassroots movement that terpenes has become. So as we spread the isolated terpenes to a large majority of the extraction industry, more and more consumers were getting these enhanced products with terpenes already inside them. As small companies started to have enormous success selling these enhanced products, larger manufacturers started looking into how these nobodies were making such an incredible product and outselling them on the shelves. Since then the snowball effect has been in full force as it seems like more and more companies are developing additional lines of enhanced product lines with terpenes.

In addition to all the small extractors becoming big players in their local markets, small terpene companies started to pop up offering special blends of the terpenes they had purchased individually then combined them at specific ratios to create a strain. Dozens of small terpene companies popped up since the end of the year.  We then felt the time was right to open our store to the public in September and start to compete with the strain specific terpene blend market that we helped create. While a lot of these new terpene companies have good intentions, there are some that are out there to make a quick buck. They just have a basic terpene analysis done on a strain, match the profile to the test results, then blend the ingredients at those specific ratios. The big problem with that is, most are only blending 3-15 terpenes from the test results they got from the flower. Problem with that is, without other modifications it is extremely difficult to get the correct flavor and aroma. After all, a huge benefit of adding these products is that it is supposed to make the product taste and smell better, not worse. I have seen a lot of companies throw up 30-50 blends like this and they all wind up tasting like grass. So after almost a year of development and trying sample batch after sample batch, group taste testing, in December we released the first of our standard strain specific terpene blends, and soon after that our full spectrum terpene blends. We feel like our blends are better in both quality and consistency. 

Now that 2017 has begun, we are continually adding new flavorings and blends to our availability.  We are also looking forward to focusing on bringing as much educational value to the market as possible though Terpene TV.

If you actually took the time to read this whole article, I am impressed, and would like to thank you for actually looking into the companies who you choose to buy from.

​We promise that "These are the terpenes you are looking for"
