Build Your Terp Map: Shop ThisThat by Aroma (Citrus, Gas, Dessert)
Dec 01, 2025
Why Shopping by Aroma Makes Sense
If you’ve ever picked up two different strains with similar THCA percentages and wondered why they feel completely different, the answer usually isn’t potency — it’s terpenes. These aromatic compounds shape each strain’s scent, flavor, and even the overall vibe of your experience.
At thisthat, we think the best way to shop THCA flower is by aroma and mood, not just numbers. Every cultivar has a story told through its terps — from bright citrus zest to deep diesel funk to creamy dessert notes.
The Three Major Terp Families
1. Citrus & Fruity
These strains are powered by terpenes like limonene and pinene, which give off lemon peel, orange rind, and tropical fruit aromas. They tend to deliver a lighter, daytime-friendly experience that feels crisp and creative.
Perfect for: summer afternoons, social sessions, or creative bursts.
Examples: Super Silver Haze, Apple Jacks
2. Gas & Earth
Heavier terpene blends like myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene dominate here — think skunk, diesel, or earthy kush. Expect richer smoke and a more grounded, full-bodied effect.
Perfect for: unwinding, slow evenings, or flavor-focused flower fans.
Examples: Grease Monkey, Bubba Kush
3. Dessert & Sweet
If you love creamy, candy-like profiles, look for linalool, ocimene, and terpinolene. These strains often blend vanilla, cake batter, and berry tones — smooth, flavorful, and indulgent.
Perfect for: cozy nights, weekend relaxation, or pairing with a movie.
Examples: MAC #1, Super Boof, Bubblegum
Why It Matters for THCA Flower
THCA converts to THC when heated, but terpenes define the nuance. The right terp mix can enhance your perception of potency, smoothness, and taste. Instead of chasing lab numbers, build your own terp map — your nose knows best.

Quick FAQ
Q: What’s the best terpene profile for beginners?
A: Start with citrus or fruity strains. They’re often smoother and lighter than gas-heavy cultivars.
Q: Does higher terpene % mean better effects?
A: Not always — balance matters more. A 2–3% total terp mix with diverse compounds can be more flavorful than a single dominant terp at 5%.
Q: Can storage change aroma over time?
A: Yes. Heat, air, and light all degrade terpenes. Always keep your jars sealed and cool.
