Hemp tea with CBD
I ordered hemp tea from hemp flowers and leafs from Hanf-Gesundheit.de. The product surprised me pleasantly, so I decided to write a review and tell you my experience. I always try to write 1000 and more words but it is difficult to write 1000 words about tea only...be it hemp tea or tea in general.
Hemp tea preparation
As you can see on the pictures below, the tea is a mixture of finely cut pieces of hemp leaves and flowers. It scent is herbal and natural and so it does not smell like typical hemp flower. Maybe I could compare it to the smell of hemp leaves but I never had the opportunity to smell a bag of hemp, so I am not the right one to judge.
Tea is portioned well. I didn´t find any stems, stalks or flowers in it. I bought 40 grams tea bag but when I weighed it had 47 grams. If we take into consideration 5 grams weight of the bag and the sticker, it was all in all good.
Preparation: I boiled water in the kettle and put a spoon of hemp tea in my cup. I poured the hot water over and let it steep for 4-5 minutes. I wanted to find out what would happen if I let it steep for 10 minutes.
Hemp tea and its effects
It is about 10 minutes since I finished my cup of tea. I feel much more relaxed than before. It reminds me of having a cup of green tea when your stomach feels warm and your mind is calm. Hemp tea is very calming; I mean it is going to be better to have one cup of tea in the evening than in the morning.
I am not sure, what other substances does the hemp tea contain apart from cannabinoids. On the etiquette there is written it is Magnesium and iron. I could not find any prove on the internet that hemp leaves contain Magnesium that is why I am slightly suspicious towards this information. What I would say more (I feel that drinking of hemp tea is healthy). I am sure that one cup of hemp tea a day is going to be beneficial for your body.
CBD: Cannabinoid soluble in fats
It is recommended to drink hemp tea with a dash of fat. Milk is apparently one of them. However, I do not like the idea of it that is why I have decided to do it the other way. If you want to get the maximum amount of cannabinoids, especially CBD, it is necessary to add a drop of oil or fat in which the cannabinoids will dissolve.
Hemp tea: My opinion
It is a good, delicious and healthy drink which I can use every day of my life. Its effects do not affect my mind but bring pleasant feeling of calmness and peace. I can imagine drinking this tea during cold evenings; it will be definitely a perfect treat.
Is CBD oil going to replace medication against anxiety? Definitely not. Level of cannabinoids in hemp leafs is significantly lower than in flowers. However, the hemp tea is definitely a subtle alternative for stress relieve. You can enjoy this pleasant taste also in other products.
