// Definition
Terpenes extracted from cannabis through steam distillation, as distinct from terpenes naturally present in the whole plant resin. Steam-distilled terpenes often have a harsh, 'popcorn-like' taste and may not accurately represent the original terpene profile of the source plant.
// From the Episode
In episode 031, Bubbleman criticized steam terpene extractions, noting that 'people that are trying to steam turps out, they're getting a very popcorn taste, a very harsh taste.' He emphasized the importance of keeping single-source terpenes.
