About TNT

A sensory technology company — not a single-product brand.

TNT was founded to commercialize TIM, a patent-pending Taste Intensity Modulation platform. TerpSmooth is the first product. The same engine powers 37 more applications in cannabis, food, beverage, alcohol, wellness, and supplements — built to be licensed, not sold direct.
