Hey guys. Josh with Denver Terpenes here. Just wanted to thank all of you for creating such an amazing community.
1st off I wanted to let everyone know we are giving out free samples to anyone at no charge at our website.
Also I just want to share a little bit about who we are as a company.
I am the owner and we started in November of 2014. I met my friend in college about 12 years ago and his father owns a very large essential oil company that was started in the early 1900s.
That November, we had a drink at a bar after a few years of not seeing each other, we wound up talking about terpenes. That was the first time I had heard the term. He told me how his family makes them but didnāt want to directly get into the industry.
I knew a bit about web design and am very passionate about concentrates and flower. I even moved to Colorado the day after they legalized it.
So I offered to build a website and see if I could get some interest.
Six months later I received my first call for someone who found my website and needed terps. I immediately called my friend and we got on a three way call with his dad. For the next six months I simply listened to a master essential oil extractor talk with master thc/cbd extractor allowing me to gain an incredible array of knowledge.
Finally I started taking calls myself, and if I didnāt know the answer to the question I refused to bullshit them, I would write the question down, call my friends dad and get back to them. Over the last 5 years I have been the one to answer the Denver Terpenes phone line and have had thousands, if not tens of thousands of conversations about this product.
Finally after a year of conversations and helping hundreds of people out, I finally started my brand in November 2015, with just 7 isolated terpenes and 5 pg flavorings. For two more years I took every call, filled every bottle, packed and shipped every box myself. You see I started with just a $1000 and didnāt come from any sort of money. This is why people donāt see us at trade shows, or spending a ton on marketing. This was a purely organic grassroots campaign with a goal to provide the best quality of terpenes and even better customer service. Thanks to every single person who has passed us a referral, without you we wouldnāt be here.
You see, with the advice of a 100 year old industry leader as my mentor, he taught me how to watch the market, recognize trends, and to play it safe. This is why we were able to avoid the whole vitamin e acetate situation and the the TT mineral oil thing. We had the opportunity to duplicate those products, we just chose not to. We just wanted to sell the best products with the most research behind them.
I also noticed all these companies coming out with 50-200 different blends. Most of them smelled very similar, and to be honest they were just a few isolated terpenes and all of them smelled like grass, oranges, or chemically.
This is why we only have 30 blends of our main product line. They are all completely unique and have incredible taste. We only release 10-15 new ones per year because we send back 95% of the blends that our award winning flavor chemist gives us because itās just to similar to another strain, or didnāt have a pleasant taste or aroma.
Now we hear we are 5 years later and we have a thriving flagship storefront in Denver, another great store in Humboldt County in Eureka, an incredible team of employees, wonderful customers in all 50 states, and what we believe to be the are best terpenes on the market.
We believe in doing good things and good things will come back in our direction. This is why we want to give away these samples, also what better way to sell a flavor/aroma than allow the customer to actually smell and taste it. We know are terps are great, which is why they cost a little bit more, but donāt forget that ours are very concentrated so you need 2-3 x less than most of the other companies in my industry.
So we will allow you to get our terpe for free, and you can pay for some cheaper terps from someone else and see why we have such a good reputation online.
Thanks again
