Just like with wine or coffee, cannabis can be \u00abtasted\u00bb: observe, smell and savour it to distinguish the subtle nuances. We\u2019ll show you how.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Observe<\/h2>\n<p>Take a look at the appearance of the flower: its colour, the shape of the buds and the amount of trichomes (that shiny coating that looks like frost). A well-cured flower is neither damp nor so dry that it crumbles.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Smell<\/h2>\n<p>Gently break open a bud and smell it. There they are, the <strong>terpenes<\/strong>, the plant\u2019s aromatic compounds. Some of the most common are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Limonene:<\/strong> citrus, such as lemon or orange.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myrcene:<\/strong> earthy, herbal, with notes of ripe fruit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pineno:<\/strong> to pine trees and forests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caryophyllene:<\/strong> spicy, peppery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Linalool:<\/strong> floral, reminiscent of lavender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Try<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tobacco-free:<\/strong> Tobacco masks the flavour. If you can, use a clean pipe or a vapouriser set to a low temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The first drag<\/strong> It\u2019s the one with the most flavour. Pay attention to how it goes down and the aftertaste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink some water<\/strong> between different varieties to cleanse the palate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Compare<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to train your palate is to compare two or three different varieties in the same session, in small quantities. Make a note of what you notice: aroma, flavour, smoothness and how you feel.<\/p>\n<h2>Mistakes that ruin a wine tasting<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Grind the herb until it becomes a powder.<\/li>\n<li>Use flavoured paper or petrol lighters.<\/li>\n<li>Tasting with a saturated palate (after a heavy meal, coffee or a cigarette).<\/li>\n<li>Drinking too much: the aim of a wine tasting is to appreciate the wine, not to get drunk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Do terpenes affect the effect?<\/h3>\n<p>It is thought that they may influence the experience, but research in this area is still limited. What is clear, however, is that they affect the aroma and flavour.<\/p>\n<h3>Where can I go for a wine tasting?<\/h3>\n<p>At a cannabis club, amongst members of legal age.
