Abstrax Partners with Leading Hemp Supplier Terplandia to Provide the Highest Quality Natural Hemp Terpenes to the Market

The strategic partnership sets the stage for continued innovation and development of terpene and flavor-focused hemp genetics while empowering customers with high purity and low cost Farm Bill compliant terpenes.

TUSTIN - August 22, 2023 - Abstrax, an industry leader in the study and production of cannabis and botanically-derived terpenes, has partnered with Terplandia, a renowned hemp cultivation and extraction company, to be the exclusive distributor and manufacturing partner of their hemp-derived natural terpene product offering. With a focus on superior genetics, zero-THC compliance, and innovative product offerings, the alliance between Abstrax and Terplandia is set to propel the quality and diversity of cannabis products to new heights.

Since its founding in 2017 in Humboldt County, California, Terplandia has partnered with leading seed breeders to gain access to the very best genetics possible. With operations out of California, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, Terplandia grows the seeds and extracts the non-psychoactive essential oils from mature cannabis and hemp cultivars compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill. Notable varieties include OG Kush, Frosted Grapes, Purple Punch, Blue Dream, Guava, Legendary Platinum, and Sapphire Kush Diesel.

“By combining our resources, technology, and expertise, we’re able to bring the highest quality and most diverse flavor offerings of naturally-derived hemp terpenes to the market,” said Max Koby, Co-Founder and CEO of Abstrax. “This collaboration is set to propel groundbreaking innovation and ongoing evolution of Farm Bill-compliant hemp genetics, prioritizing terpenes, flavors, and aromas for final products. This synergy empowers brands to transcend traditional innovation limits, crafting consumer experiences of an unmatched caliber.”

For several years, Abstrax has collaborated with farmers nationwide to validate the quality of naturally derived cannabis and hemp terpenes. Our aim is to provide a catalog that is comprehensive, of superior quality, and competitively priced. "During our discovery phase, Terplandia consistently supplied superior hemp terpenes, demonstrating a keen focus on unique genetics, process innovation, and advanced extraction methods. This was seamlessly aligned with our core values," remarks Koby.

Terplandia products utilize proven genetics centered on flavor and aroma. They are extracted fresh from the plant using a custom, low-temperature, solvent-free distillation process that preserves the most volatile aromatics. Abstrax then refines the extract using a molecular distillation process to further purify and eliminate undesirable compounds, enhancing the final product to ensure the most consistent and aromatic consumer experience. Each cultivar is then tested in our labs to provide full panel compliance and Terplytics, an advanced sensory mapping software developed by Abstrax for their GCxGC research. 

Through its exclusive partnership with Terplandia, Abstrax is well-positioned to significantly invigorate the cannabis industry by delivering high-end, hemp-derived terpenes sourced from premium and organic farms. Terplandia has successfully established itself as a leading hemp terpene supplier in the market, boasting an expansive infrastructure that stretches from California to Tennessee.

The 2023 harvest, available from 23Q4 onwards, promises some exciting new cultivars developed from Abstrax's in-house genetics program, reinforcing Abstrax’s commitment to driving innovation in the terpene market.

With a focus on zero-THC compliant products that meet the 2018 Farm Bill guidelines, Abstrax can seamlessly ship their compliant products both nationally and internationally, including countries like Canada, Japan, and across Europe. This compliance ensures that customers receive legal, customs-friendly products that meet the highest standards of quality.

“We’ve been wanting to work with Abstrax for quite some time. Aligning with a leader in the industry will enable us to leverage our capabilities and skill sets to make a lasting impact on the market,” said Taher Afghani, Co-Founder of Terplandia. “There’s a huge opportunity to leverage the power of the cannabis plant, and Abstrax jumping in to seize this opportunity with us is everything.”

The partnership not only impacts the cannabis vape market but also extends to aromatherapy, including diffusers and essential oils and further enables the creation of hemp-infused beverages, gummies, edibles, cosmetics and fragrances. Additionally, Abstrax can now offer Terplandia's hemp products in water-soluble versions to further unlock possibilities for applications in food and beverage products.
