The Hemp Tea Guide: Where to Buy & Why?

Hemp tea is a soothing, naturally great tasting way to consume CBDa, and other cannabinoids and plant nutrients. It is caffeine-free, calming, and is an excellent addition to your wellness regimen to support a healthy balanced lifestyle.

What is Hemp Tea?

Hemp tea is made with fresh ground hemp leaves and flowers. You can prepare it by steeping the ground aerial parts in hot water. Any part of the plant can be used to make the tea: leaves, buds, flowers, seeds, stems, and stalks.

Hemp, also called Cannabis Sativa, contains less than 0.3% THC. Because of its very low THC content, hemp tea generally does not cause psychoactive effects or make you feel high.

Fresh hemp tea is rich in CBDa and contains other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. A cup of hemp tea gives you all the benefits of the whole plant in its unprocessed raw state.

What’s the Difference Between Hemp Tea and CBD Tea?

Hemp tea can be made with young or mature hemp plants. Mature hemp leaves and buds offer more CBDa. Cannabinoids such as CBD are present in most hemp varieties, so all hemp teas will contain a mix of phytocannabinoids. A CBD tea may be infused with additional isolate to give it a more robust profile.

What sets hemp tea apart from CBD formulas or teas is the cannabinoid acids. You can only get cannabinoids such as CBDa from raw and live hemp that has not been decarboxylated. This is one of the desirable uses for hemp tea, to ingest whole hemp compounds in their unprocessed raw state.

What is CBDa?

Cannabidiolic acid or CBDa is the precursor to CBD. It is a phytocannabinoid that comes from CBGa and becomes CBD after decarboxylation, a heating process that eliminates carboxylic acid from an organic compound. CBDa is present when hemp is left in its raw form. You can ingest CBDa for its benefits as long as the plant matter has not been decarboxylated, meaning heated past 212° F.

How to Make Hemp Tea?

When making hemp tea, you want to steep the hemp material in hot water just below the boiling point, about 200° F. This will keep the cannabinoid acids intact. Let it sit for 10 minutes to fully infuse and maximize the CBDa content. If you add hemp to boiling water, you will turn the CBDa content into CBD. It depends on what you want, a CBDa rich tea or more CBD. Both cannabinoids have their unique characteristics and come with wellness benefits.

What are the Wellness Benefits of Hemp Tea?

Hemp tea made from 100% organically grown hemp provides a full spectrum of natural plant terpenes and cannabinoids to help soothe a variety of ailments.
