What’s Terp Sugar? MPX continues to innovate new and exciting products and has dubbed the term “Terp Sugar” to describe one of the best consistencies to date. As with all MPX products, the Terp Sugar process starts in cultivation. Proper growing practices paired with a minimal handling philosophy is key, as our products can only be as good as the cannabis they were derived from. The initial extraction phase yields a raw solution of essential oils (terpenes) and cannabinoids, which is then manipulated in the post process phase to create interesting textures and forms. Below describes the process and the characteristics of a proper Terp Sugar.
Breaking Down Terp Sugar
Once the initial hydrocarbon extraction phase is completed, we collect the raw solution from the system. The solution is then lightly warmed to encourage solvent evaporation. As solvent slowly evaporates, the concentration of everything left behind increases. At this stage the solution is predominately rich in THCA, which will begin to crystallize – this is referred to as the saturation point. As crystals begin to grow, the terpenes are rejected from THCA’s crystalline lattice and begin to separate as a liquid. Once full crystallization has occurred, the crystals and High Terpene Extract (HTE) can now be separated and used in many different ways.
For Terp Sugar, the crystals are pulverized into a uniform granule size. The HTE is then added back in its entirety. This creates a wet, gritty texture that can be easily handled with a dab tool. This process ensures a proper balance of flavor and potency with every scoop. The resulting product is incredibly flavorful, and often has a higher terpene content than other forms of extracts such as shatter, wax, or crumble. This observation is especially true of our unique Live Resin Terp Sugar.
The Look
Our top shelf Live Resin Terp Sugar will have a wet, gritty texture. It sort or resembles raw honey that has crystallized. It will range in color from goldish/yellow to orange/amber.
The Potency
Our Live Resin Terp Sugars offer a perfect balance of flavor and potency., Typically THCA levels range from 75-80%, with total cannabinoids reaching high 80’ or low 90s. Terp Sugar often has an elevated terpene content compared to other extracts. and as the research suggests play a vital role in the potentiation and uptake of THC into the endocannabinoid system (they get you higher!)
The Feel
Both Terp Sugar and Live Resin Terp Sugar provide a buzz that is very similar to that of cannabis flower, largely due to the elevated terpene profiles found in these products. Users can expect a potent experience due to the high cannabinoid content, so exercise best judgement when consuming these products.
The Taste
Terp Sugar provides a near-unmatched taste, and flavor is directly comparable to the cannabis flower from which it’s extracted. Users can expect a burst of clean, concentrated flavors that run the gamut of the cannabis flavor spectrum.
MPX offers both our Terp Sugar and Live Resin Terp Sugar to our consumers in Arizona, Nevada, and Maryland. Be sure to compare and contrast both products, and we would love to hear your feedback!
