It starts with small

You don’t need to reinvent your life. Or overhaul your habits. Just make one different call. Reach for something else.
Change the tone of the moment.

That’s what sparked Terps & Co.
That’s the butterfly effect.

Small move. Different outcome.

Turned on by nature

The idea didn't start in a boardroom. It started deep in nature, exploring the edges of what plants can do.

Our founders experienced firsthand how certain botanicals could turn up the saturation on life - making colors brighter, connections deeper, and the present moment feel infinite.

They wanted to capture that vivid, "technicolor" feeling of joy and presence - but in a way that fits into a Tuesday afternoon or a Friday night drive. They asked: Can we bottle that magic? Can we make a drink that clears the fog and helps you truly feel the vibe, without the trip? 

The answer was Terpenes.

Two Arjuns, One Mission. 

Yes, there are really two of them. Our founders - Arjun Bhargava and Arjun Narayanan - combine a taste for ancient Indian wisdom with a healthy dose of Kiwi mischief.

Drawing on their heritage, they knew that plants have been used for centuries (from Ayurveda to aromatherapy) to unlock the mind. They decided to bring this old-school plant knowledge to modern New Zealand, crafting drinks that don't just taste good, but do good.

They wanted a better way to drink: one that clears the fog, sharpens your senses, and turns the dial up on the real you.

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are the aromatic wizards found in citrus, lavender, pine - basically, the real flavour-makers of the plant world. They work with your body to support calm, focus, mood, and a touch of magic. 

So here’s to new rituals, big laughs, breaking a few rules, and feeling every bit of the ride.

You don't need alcohol or stimulants to be the person you want. Terpenes just help you let loose, feel good, and actually remember every glorious second of it.

Terps & Co is proudly NZ-made, independently owned, and built for humans who want to live fully, feel deeply, and stay clear-headed while they do it.
