About this profile
First Ascent is strongly caryophyllene-led: caryophyllene makes up roughly 61% of its measured terpenes, with humulene and limonene behind it. Those lead terpenes are usually described as peppery spice (caryophyllene) and woody, hoppy notes (humulene). In the lab results, THC averaged 14.5%, toward the lower end of the library, and total terpenes averaged 0.94%, toward the lower end of the library. It rests on 15 lab samples, all from Nevada, so the picture is fairly steady.
