Bulk Cannabis Derived Terpenes and High Terpene Extract (HTE)

Nine Cloud Cannabis produces cannabis derived terpene fractions and High Terpene Extract (HTE) for licensed manufacturers, vape brands, and concentrate formulators across California. Our terpene products are extracted from high grade cannabis, and are designed to integrate directly into cartridge oil production, concentrate blending workflows, and infused product development.

Rather than relying on reconstructed botanical terpene blends, our terpene fractions originate from cannabis extraction and separation methods that preserve native aromatic compounds from the plant itself. This allows manufacturers to build formulations with more authentic strain expression and greater control over viscosity, flavor architecture, and cannabinoid interaction.

We offer two primary terpene inputs depending on formulation goals:

• Water clear Cannabis Derived Terpenes (CDTs)

• High Terpene Extract (HTE)

Cannabis Derived Terpenes (CDTs)

Our Cannabis Derived Terpenes are isolated after extraction and during distillation workflows designed to preserve volatile aromatic compounds before cannabinoid recombination.

For manufacturers, CDT fractions function primarily as:

• strain specific flavor architecture inputs

• viscosity modifiers for vape oil in cartridges and disposables (AIOs)

• enhancement of formulated products

• replacements for botanical terpene blends

Unlike reconstructed terpene mixtures built from isolated molecules, Cannabis Derived Terpene fractions retain the native ratios present in the source material. This allows brands to produce cartridge oil with profiles that remain closer to the original extract rather than approximated strain flavors.

In practice, CDT fractions are most commonly used when clarity, repeatable strain identity, and controlled terpene loading are priorities.

High Terpene Extract (HTE)

HTE is the terpene-rich fraction separated during crystallization workflows and preserved for downstream formulation.

Unlike isolated terpene fractions, HTE contains:

• terpene classes across volatility ranges

• minor cannabinoids

• flavonoids

• additional aromatic plant compounds

Because of this composition, HTE functions less like a terpene additive and more like a full-spectrum formulation component.

Many manufacturers use HTE when building products intended to maintain closer alignment with the original extraction input rather than reconstructed terpene systems.

HTE is especially common in:

• diamond recombination workflows

• full-spectrum cartridge oil

• terpene-forward concentrate blends

• high-potency vape formulations
