Flavor taxonomy

Pineapple-flavored cannabis strains

Flavor categories in cannabis trace back to the dominant terpenes a strain expresses during late flower and post-cure. The cultivars on this page all share a common flavor or aroma note in breeder catalogues and aggregated grower reports. Most modern flavor categories sit on top of a small number of terpenes — myrcene, limonene, pinene, linalool, caryophyllene, and humulene — combined in different ratios. Effects within a flavor category can vary substantially because terpenes alone do not determine the high. Read the individual strain entries below for full grow data, parent strains, and the specific terpene profile.
