CBD Tea
CBD teas are a registered dietary supplement. The teas contain flowers, leaves, seeds and buds of the hemp plant with a higher CBD content (1.6% - 4% CBD) and other cannabinoids (CBDa, CBG, CBN). CBD teas are popular and effective for migraines or sleep problems. It is also recommended as an effective supplement to CBD drops. The tea is prepared as an infusion: Pour 2dl of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of the mixture and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes, then strain. To enhance the effect, add a little butter or milk to the infusion (cannabinoids dissolve in fat). For migraines or pain, we recommend taking it twice a day. For sleep problems, take 1 hour before going to bed. The effect takes effect within 1 hour and lasts up to 8 hours.

What is CBD Tea and Why is it So Popular?
CBD tea is one of the most popular hemp products available today, known for its calming and healing properties. In this article, you'll learn what makes CBD hemp tea unique and why it's the go-to choice for those seeking relaxation, regeneration, and overall well-being.
High Cannabidiol (CBD) Content
While many hemp varieties are traditionally bred for high THC levels, the focus has shifted to breeding hemp plants with higher CBD content, the second most important compound in hemp for therapeutic effects. For example, the French variety Ferimon boasts over 4% CBD, making it a potent choice for CBD tea.
Harvested at Peak Maturity
To maximize the CBD content in the tea, the hemp plants are harvested later than usual—around 5 months after sowing, when the plants are fully matured. This later harvest results in a higher CBD content, with the tea often containing at least 1.5% CBD, although the more, the better. The mature harvest also gives the tea its characteristic green-brown color.
Distinct and Full-Bodied Flavor
The later harvest not only boosts CBD content but also enriches the tea’s flavor. The mature hemp plant gives the tea a fuller, more earthy, and distinct taste. It's also versatile—CBD tea can be mixed with other herbs to suit your preferences. For instance, combining it with chamomile or marigold creates a soothing and flavorful blend.
Strong Relaxation Effects
CBD tea is known for its powerful calming and relaxing effects. For first-time users, it’s recommended to enjoy a cup about an hour before bedtime, as the tea can induce deep sleep, allowing your body to regenerate and heal. You can also drink it in the morning to help you focus and approach the day with a calm mind. However, it’s best to avoid drinking CBD tea after lunch or in the afternoon unless you plan to relax, as it can enhance feelings of fatigue.
Addressing the Most Common Question: How Does It Work?
A frequent question is how CBD tea can be effective when cannabinoids are typically soluble in fat and alcohol.
Understanding the Science:
-
Beyond Cannabinoids: Hemp is not just about cannabinoids; it also contains terpenes, essential oils, and other beneficial compounds that contribute to its overall effects on the body and mind.
-
Hemp Seeds in the Tea: CBD hemp tea often contains hemp seeds, which release oils (fatty acids) into the water, helping cannabinoids bind and be absorbed more effectively.
-
Cannabinoids in Water: While cannabinoids primarily dissolve in fats and alcohol, they do have some solubility in water, which enhances the tea’s effectiveness.
How to Prepare CBD Tea
Preparing CBD tea is simple:
- Use: Add one tablespoon of CBD tea to 250ml of boiling water.
- Steep: Allow the tea to steep for 5-10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor and effects.
- Enhance: For maximum therapeutic effect, add a small piece of butter or a few drops of hemp seed oil at the start of the steeping process.
CBD tea is not just a beverage; it's a pathway to better health and well-being. Its rich CBD content, unique flavor, and powerful effects make it the best-selling hemp product for a reason. Whether you're looking to relax, sleep better, or simply enjoy a moment of peace, CBD tea is the perfect choice.
