English Breakfast Tea by CBD Embrace By Phoebe Fuller 16mg CBD per teabag On an average day in the offi ce I probably get through around seven cups of tea. Yes, seven. So it was only fi tting that I jumped at the chance to drink MORE of the stuff. Getting paid to drink tea? Yeah, my job’s a pretty good gig. This full spectrum tea from CBD embrace is vegan, gluten free and THC free with 16mg of CBD per bag. I added a splash of milk to mine, as CBD is fat-soluble and so I wanted to increase the absorption but, also, because I’ve always been a tea-with-milk kind of gal. Once brewed, it smells very strongly of hemp so maybe warn your boss if you get around to ever sipping on this in the offi ce. The taste isn’t quite as strong as the smell would suggest though and, otherwise, it just tastes like normal tea, which is positive as many hemp-based food items aren’t the most tolerable. I found that it required a longer brew-time than normal tea when adding milk, because it otherwise became an anaemic, green coloured concoction that really didn’t look too appetising; so make sure you keep the bag in for around fi ve minutes to steep. While I won’t be throwing out my PG Tips just yet, I think I’d happily keep this in my desk drawer for those days where I need a little calming to take the edge off a stressful day. Full Spectrum Gummies by GRN By Gordon Stribling 8 x 25mg of hemp extract Gummies are a great way to get CBD on-the-go. However, there are so many varieties out there, so I was intrigued to fi nd out how GRN stacked up. These certainly stand out on aroma and fl avor. Perhaps it’s the blend of natural and artifi cial fl avorings, but there’s a truly unique bouquet when you open the packet, with each distinct fl avor combining with the spicy CBD aftertaste from the fi rst bite. GRN gummies are really a broad-spectrum product as they are THC-free, which will appeal to those who are unable or unwilling to consume even traces of THC. 144
