Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give cannabis — and plants like citrus, pine, and lavender — their smell and flavor. In cannabis they're a big part of why two cultivars with similar THC can smell and taste completely different. Green Apple's counter reads terpene character the way a wine list reads tasting notes, which is often a better guide to a lot than the THC number alone.
