High Beta Caryophyllene
High Beta Caryophyllene strains are cultivars selected or bred to express elevated levels of β-caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene commonly associated with spicy, peppery, and woody aromatic profiles. This terpene is notably present in black pepper, cloves, and hops, making it a recognizable marker in cannabis lineage work. Breeders pursuing this trait often cross established peppery-pheno parents or select for expression during phenotype hunting in existing stock. The prevalence of this terpene in certain landrace and modern hybrid families has made it a consistent breeding target for sensory consistency and marker-assisted selection.

Breeders use high β-caryophyllene as both a sensory phenotype marker and a cannabinoid-terpene correlation study variable. Selection for this trait across generations helps stabilize flavor profiles and supports research into how terpene ratios may influence overall plant chemotype.
