What Is Cryo Extraction? A True-to-Plant Cannabis Method Rooted in Purity
Discover how cryogenic extraction preserves terpenes and cannabinoids for a true-to-plant cannabis experience. Learn why it matters for Nevada consumers.
Cryo Extraction:
Keeping Cannabis True to the Plant
In a market full of bold claims and buzzwords, the phrase “true to the plant” has real weight. It speaks to respecting the plant’s natural chemical profile, the terpenes, cannabinoids, flavonoids, and the subtle synergy known as the entourage effect.
At True Harmony Co, staying true to the plant isn’t marketing. It’s our philosophy.
One of the extraction methods gaining real attention for achieving this purity is cryo extraction. It’s clean, efficient, and deeply aligned with the wellness-oriented cannabis consumer. Let’s break down what makes cryo special, why it’s different, and how it supports a more mindful, authentic consumption experience.
What Is Cryo Extraction?
Cryo extraction uses ultra-low temperatures (think: colder than a Nevada desert night in January) to freeze cannabis flower before extracting its essential oils.
By chilling the plant material to extremely low temperatures, the extraction process becomes:
- Gentler
- Cleaner
- More protective of the full terpene profile
Instead of blasting the plant with high heat or harsh solvents, cryo extraction respects the delicate compounds that give the flower its aroma, flavor, and therapeutic properties.
Why Terpenes Matter
If cannabinoids are the body of the experience, terpenes are the personality.
They influence:
- Mood
- Feel
- Flavor and aroma
- Effects like uplift, calm, or focus
Traditional extraction methods can damage or burn off these nuanced compounds.
Cryo preserves them; intact and expressive.
How Cryo Extraction Works (Without the Chemistry Lecture)
- Flower is harvested at peak freshness.
(Timing is everything….. like catching a Vegas sunrise.) - Material is rapidly frozen to cryogenic temperatures.
This locks in cannabinoids and terpenes before they can degrade. - Extraction happens at low temperature, preventing terpene evaporation.
Translation: more flavor, more aroma, more authenticity. - The result is a full-spectrum extract that feels like the flower it came from.
No burnt edges. No flattened flavor. Just the plant, preserved.
Cryo vs Traditional Extraction
Method | Temperature | Terpene Retention | Flavor Profile | Alignment With “True to Plant” |
Cryo | Ultra-low | High | Bright, expressive, smooth | Excellent |
Distillate/High Heat | Very high | Low-to-moderate | Milder, sometimes muted | Moderate |
Solvent-Based High Pressure | Medium-to-high | Variable | Depends on purge and solvent | Moderate |
Cryo extraction is one of the few methods that doesn’t just protect the flower — it honors it.
True Harmony’s Perspective
To us, cryo extraction aligns with our core values:
- Respect the plant
- Prioritize wellness
- Practice transparency
- Honor Nevada’s cannabis culture
We believe cannabis should feel grounded; like stepping into desert air at dusk. Centered. Clear. Connected.
Cryo extraction helps preserve that feeling.
The Experience: What It Feels Like to Consume Cryo Extracts
Expect:
- More flavor (the kind you can actually name)
- Smooth, cool vapor (no throat burn)
- Effects that feel layered, not one-note
It’s less “hit hard and sit still”
and more
“breathe deeper, settle in, enjoy the moment.”
Think wellness, not overwhelm.
We have HIGH hopes for this extraction methodology…. Stay tuned.
