Nerolidol

Woody, floral, jasmine tea — like a warm evening in a tropical garden.

Nerolidol is the terpene of the deep evening — woody, floral, and gently sedating. It's found in jasmine, tea tree, and ginger, and it's one of the most effective terpenes at crossing biological barriers (which is why it's studied as a drug-delivery enhancer). In cannabis, nerolidol-heavy strains tend to be deeply relaxing, making them ideal for winding down. In the kitchen, it's your bridge to anything that evokes warmth, depth, and contemplation — jasmine rice, dark chocolate, and tea-infused preparations.
