CBD Tea

Futura 75 hemp plants from Spain

The hemp flower buds which are used in the CBD tea, come from the Futura 75 hemp strain which is grown in the Alpujarra mountains in Spain. The hemp leaves come from the Finola and USO31 strains, both grown in Germany. These three hemp strains contain hardly any THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, as a result of which they are officially approved by the European Commission and are included in the list of certified hemp strains.

This means these hemp strains can be legally cultivated. Especially our Futura 75 hemp is grown in a very exclusive manner. This takes place on small-scale terraces which are located at great altitudes in the mountainous region. The environmental conditions can be described as absolutely ideal. So do the plants for instance grow on a clean and uncontaminated soil, they get a maximum number of hours of sunshine each day, they grow in clean air and they are irrigated with water coming from mineral rich spring water and meltwater from the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.

Favourable growing conditions of hemp benefit the quality

All these favourable growing conditons result in a clean and pure end product in which high concentrations of cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial substances have been produced. Because of the minimal amount of THC the CBD tea however does not cause any stoned of high

effect whatsoever.

The preparation of CBD hemp tea You can make tea in various ways and with the help of different tools. In order to do full justice to the potency of the hemp herbal- and fruit blends it is important that the ingredients have enough room in the water.

Compose healthy tea yourself

Plants, herbs and spices each have their own beneficial characteristics. Add to that the fact some herbs can amplify each others effect or facilitate the intake by the body. Flavoursome herbs can be used to be applied to a tea blend which has a less pleasant taste as well.

The action of herbs usually does not rest solely on one particular ingredient of the herb. Mostly it is a working together of ingredients. These substances can sometimes be easy to dissolve in water , but there are also substances which can hardly be dissolved in water at all.

Polar and nonpolar ingredients in plants and herbs

Ingredients which are easy to dissolve in water are called polar. Components which do not or hardly at all can dissolve in water, but can be dissolved in fats, oils and alcohol, are called nonpolar. In most cases the ingredients in the herb have both polar as nonpolar characteristics.

Echinacea for instance contains alkaloids, alkylamides, polysaccharides, phenolic acids, polyacetylenes and sesquiterpenes. Some of these substances are polar, while others are actually rather nonpolar. So when you drink tea made from this herb only a part of the ingredients is extracted, the polar part.

Why add milk or butter to hemp tea?

CBD just like other cannabinoids, as for instance THC, is hydrophobic and lipophilic. This means that it cannot be easily dissolved in polar solvents, like water. Cannabinoids do however dissolve well in nonpolar solvents, like fats, alcohol and oils.

Because of this it is recommended to add a dash of whole milk, a knob of real butter, a scoop of milk powder or chocolate powder when preparing hemp tea in order to fully benefit from the potency of CBD. With the fruit- and herbal blends you might not choose the milk as milk can diminish the effect of certain herbs.
