CBD Tea vs CBD Coffee

It’s time to face facts: the taste of CBD is not for everyone. Yes, some people like the earthy flavor, but many others aren’t scared to admit that they can’t stomach it. Some go so far as to avoid cannabidiol products entirely, just so that they don’t have to suffer the taste, which is a shame, because they miss out on a multitude of potential benefits. If this is you, we may have just the solution to help. Instead of losing out on the possible benefits of CBD simply because you can’t stand the taste, why not look for a yummy alternative?

An increasing amount of CBD products, such as CBD drinks, are entering the market, to suit all tastes. Delicious CBD drinks such as CBD tea and CBD coffee allow you to feel the full benefits of the cannabinoid without assaulting your taste buds. This means all the benefits – with none of the taste! But which is better? Let’s look at CBD tea vs CBD coffee to find out.

The beauty of CBD tea and coffee is that they dilute the naturally intense taste of CBD. No longer do you have to force down products that are not to your liking. You can now get your daily dose of CBD while having your morning tea or coffee – or actually any time you feel like a cuppa.

CBD tea and coffee are like the regular warm beverages you’ve come to expect, just with an infusion of CBD. Both CBD tea and coffee are made from industrial hemp, which contains no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that is responsible for the so-called ‘high’ people experience when smoking marijuana. Being free, or containing very little THC, there is no way CBD tea or coffee made using industrial hemp can intoxicate you. Instead, a range of CBD concentrations are used to produce the purported benefits associated with the cannabinoid, such as helping support wellness and relaxation.

At times, you may notice that some manufacturers use the terms ‘CBD tea’ and ‘hemp tea’ interchangeably, which can be confusing. Fortunately, CBD tea or coffee and hemp tea or coffee are the same thing. With that being said, you need to pay attention to the label of any CBD beverage product and avoid any that are labelled ‘hemp seed’. Hemp seed oil is very different to hemp-derived CBD oil and contains only trace amounts of CBD.

To be 100% sure about what you’re getting, only buy products that have third-party lab results. This not only allows you to look up the exact CBD content of the product, but also assures safety. Third-party lab testing is when a product is sent to a third-party testing facility to see if it meets set standards and ensures that everything the label states is correct. We recommend only buying CBD products from brands that do third-party lab testing, such as Canndid.

Is CBD Tea and Coffee Effective?

You may be wondering why you should swap your morning Nespresso or black tea in favour of a CBD alternative. Well, besides being delicious, CBD tea and coffee have a host of potential benefits. Many studies around the effects of CBD are currently being done, with many showing positive results. However, it is essential to note that more research is needed before the benefits of CBD can be confirmed. Results are primarily anecdotal at the moment.

Potentially, CBD tea and coffee can help:

Encourage relaxation
Promote good sleep
Support better recovery
Support gut health
Boost immune system

One benefit that makes CBD coffee ideal for coffee lovers is CBD’s ability to reduce the unpleasant side effects experienced after drinking coffee, such as heart palpitations, shakiness and anxiety. You get to enjoy the delicious taste of coffee – without feeling on edge. This is because CBD and coffee interact in such a way that they prolong the positive effects of each other.

Caffeine and CBD are similar in structure and require the same enzymes produced by the liver to be broken down. However, the liver only produces a certain amount of these enzymes. If there is a sudden increase in caffeine and CBD, the liver backs up, and metabolism slows, allowing for the effects of both caffeine and CBD to last longer.

How to Make Your Own CBD Tea and Coffee

If you prefer taking the DIY route, you can easily make your own CBD coffee and tea at home. All you need is the coffee or tea of your choice and a high-quality CBD tincture. Brew the tea or coffee as usual, add a few drops of a tincture, and then stir to combine.

However, with today’s fast-paced lifestyle and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you might want to consider a much faster and simpler alternative, such as CBD infused tea or coffee.

How to Make CBD-Infused Tea and Coffee

Making CBD-infused coffee and tea is extremely quick and easy – there’s no difference between the way you normally make your drink and the CBD-infused version. There’s also no need to fiddle with CBD tinctures – simply brew as usual and enjoy!

Are There Any Side Effects?

Like other CBD products, side effects from CBD coffee and tea are relatively rare. However, there is a slight possibility of experiencing mild side effects such as:

Dry mouth
Drowsiness
Loss of appetite.

Nonetheless, we must reiterate that experiencing these side effects are rare, and the potential benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.

Can It Make You High?

No, CBD products that are THC-free or only contain trace amounts, cannot make you high. There is no chance that you can get high from our CBD tea or coffee, because we use broad-spectrum CBD. Broad-spectrum CBD contains only trace amounts of THC, which is well within the legal limits and cannot get you high.
