Find your perfect strain

Nirvana Shop

When you think about cannabis strains, you usually think of the names and their potency in THC. We often get the question "Which strains should I pick?", and that's actually pretty hard for us to nail down without knowing your preferences.

So, why do terpenes actually matter? The terpenes don't only form the smell and taste of a certain strain. They also establish the following effects: uplifting, relaxing, creative, calm, and focused. These are the core experiences, and based on your preferences, it can either be a smooth experience or a rough one if you don't like a certain taste or effect. This is why we think it's important to lock down your preferences first, and find the most fitting terpene profiles for you.

Terpenes... terpenes, terpenes, terpenes.

From what we've gathered so far, deciding on which terpenes you like the most and picking a strain with all your favorite terpenes is by far the most effective way to choose a fitting strain for yourself.

Fundamentally, terpenes determine how a strain smells, tastes, and even feels after consumption. For example, based on your daily preferences in fruits or scents, we can determine which terpenes you like. Shall we begin?

Your favorite terpene profile.

The easiest way to find your preferences is to start by looking at the scents and flavors you already enjoy in your daily life. Because these can usually be translated directly into a certain terpene profile.

Try the following choices:

🍋 "I enjoy the taste of citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruits."
If you like the acidity in citrus fruits, you are prone to enjoy the terpene Limonene. This terpene will give you the fruity and citrus aroma, but also give you the stress relieving and elevated mood sensation.

🌲 "I love the smell of a pine forest or freshly cut wood."
You will most likely enjoy the terpene Pinene. Strains with this terpene will give off pine and woody like aroma. It's also responsible for focusing effects.

🥭 "I like the taste of mango and other tropical fruits."
Strains with the terpene Myrcene will likely fit your taste. They tend to give a tropical, fruity taste. Often mixed with some herbal notes. It's responsible for sedating and relaxing effects. 

🌶️ "I enjoy the scent of fresh spices and earthy flavors."
You can find the same tones back in the Humulene terpene. This terpene gives the strains the spice like and earthy aromas. It can also help with suppressing appetite and inflammation.

🌺 "I enjoy sweets and flowery scents."
Linalool will most likely suit your taste. This terpene gives the strain a floral and sweet aroma. It's also responsible for sedating and calming effects.

🌿 "I adore rich and pleasant musky tones in food"
The sharp and punchy terpene Caryophyllene will suit your taste. This terpene gives you a lovely musky scent with a spicy tone. The terpene can help with muscle spasms, pain, and insomnia.
