TANNINS
are naturally occurring molecules found in grape skins and oak barrels that add color, complexity, bitterness and a dry-mouth feel to each sip of many types of alcohol. Tannins are influenced by weather, natural setting and cross-selection. Red wine has more tannins because the grapes used are fermented with the seeds, skins and stems, while white wine is frequently fermented from just the crushed juice of white grapes or skinless red grapes. Foods such as meat or cheese that are high in protein or fat go well with tanninrich wines.
TERPENES
are produced by the trichomes of the plant: the same place where THC is produced. They provide powerfully beneficial circulatory and muscular effects. Much of Cannabis’ smell results from terpene content. More than 120 types of terpenes can be produced in Cannabis. The terpene Limonene is also found in citrus fruits like oranges and tangerines. Limonene is a potent anti-fungal and anti-cancer agent, helping naturally reduce the presence of carcinogens in the body.
