CBD Herbal Teas

The difference between green tea and black tea comes down to how the tea leaves are processed. It is during the processing stage that black tea is oxidised and fermented, giving it its brown colour and excellent flavours. Black tea is rich in antioxidants (polyphenols) and helps prevent cardiovascular disease. It is also an excellent brain stimulant that pairs wonderfully with CBD.

How to enjoy your CBD herbal tea?

How much CBD herbal tea should you use?

For dosing CBD teas, herbal teas and infusions, add 2 grams of your CBD herbal tea per cup of water heated to a temperature of 80 or 85 degrees. Steep for 7 to 10 minutes.

CBD extraction and absorption

We recommend adding a fat to the boiling water, such as whole milk, vegetable oil (coconut, for example), cream or CBD oil, to help with the extraction and absorption of cannabinoids, particularly CBD. CBD is only soluble in fats.

Choose organic CBD herbal teas

First of all, it is best to drink organic teas and infusions (from organic farming). That is why all the infusions, herbal teas and teas we offer come from organic farming.

How to prepare your CBD herbal tea?

There are three ways to prepare herbal drinks: infusion, decoction and maceration.

Infusing CBD herbal tea

This is the best-known and most widely used method. A liquid (water or plant-based/dairy milk) is heated to a temperature close to boiling, then poured over the CBD herbal tea (or CBD tea or CBD infusion). Then leave it to "infuse" for a few minutes.

Tip: Cover your preparation, then before drinking, let the droplets that have formed on the lid fall back into it, as they contain a great deal of the active compounds that escaped in the steam. Also avoid plastic lids.

If you would like to sweeten your infusion, honey is a better choice, as it will also bring its own benefits (the infusion should not be too hot, as honey loses some of its properties with heat).

CBD herbal tea decoction

Soak the CBD herbal tea in boiling water for a few minutes, then remove from the heat.

CBD herbal tea maceration

Leave the plants to soak (to "macerate") in cold water for several hours (depending on your needs, oil can be used instead of water). The result is what is known as a "macerate".

How to store your CBD herbal teas?

Tea and infusion bags should be stored away from light, in a dry place at a moderate temperature (maximum 25ºC).

The history of infusion

Humans have used plants in their diet and medicine since time immemorial. In 2737 BC, the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung discovered the principle of infusion for tea. In antiquity, infusions were also used in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

It was only in the Middle Ages that the beneficial effects of plants on health were finally recognised. But during the Renaissance, with advances in science and botany, the presence of active compounds in plants was concretely discovered, attesting to their therapeutic usefulness and effectiveness.

Even so, the benefits of plants would later be set aside in favour of medicines.
