Terp Sauce

Terp sauce is a potent cannabis extract that separates THC crystals and flavorful terpenes into an enhancer for dabs and concentrates.

The name comes from its “saucy” liquid texture.

What is Terp Sauce?

Terp sauce begins as cured and extracted cannabis oils, most often live resin. Advanced extraction techniques are then used to further refine the product.

This involves separating the THC crystalline solids from the terpene-rich liquids via filtration and separation.

The result is two components: The THC crystals test at around 99% potency while the liquid terpenes retain all the flavorful aroma compounds.

By blending purified THC crystals back into the terpenes, an ideal combination of flavor and effects can be achieved. This terpene-infused crystalline creation is what’s known as terp sauce.

Terp sauce has a wet, sauce-like texture from the high terpene content. Color and consistency can vary based on strain and process.

The terpenes make it aromatic and flavorful, while the THC crystals supply extremely high potency, upwards of 80-90%.

It is a premier cannabis concentrate thanks to this maximized combination.

How is Terp Sauce Made?

Making quality terp sauce relies on multi-step fractional distillation using cannabis oils made via live resin methods.

Botanical compounds are first separated based on boiling point. Lighter, more volatile terpenes evaporate fastest and can be isolated, while the THC solids require higher temperatures to purify.

Once isolated, the THC crystalline solids are reintroduced and blended with the liquid terpene extraction to achieve the ideal viscosity and potency.

Additional cannabis-derived terpenes may be added to enhance the flavor profile as desired. The finished terp sauce is then dispensed for dabbing and vaping use.

Difference Between Terp Sauce and Live Resin

While both are high-quality cannabis concentrates, terp sauce and live resin has some key differences:

• Terp sauce has a higher THC potency, typically 80-90% versus 60-70% for live resins.
• Live resin retains a fuller spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes, while terp sauce isolates specific compounds.
• Terp sauce has a separate look with liquid terpenes and solid THC crystals. Live resin is more homogeneous.
• Live resin tends to be cheaper and easier to produce compared to more complex terp sauce.
• Terp sauce can be customized with isolated terpenes, offering more flavor control.

In summary, terp sauce offers outstanding potency and flavors, while live resin provides a more complete cannabis experience.

Connoisseurs may prefer terp sauce for its purity and customization.
