BALANCE. The only tea from two varieties — CBD and CBG in exactly 1 : 1. The acids CBDA and CBGA in balance: the calm of one, the clarity of the other. A cup for the middle of the day — when nothing needs to go up or down, only to even out.
What you are holding. 40 g of leaf tea from the leaves of two hemp varieties — a CBD variety and a CBG variety in a 1 : 1 ratio. Two leading acids at once: CBDA and CBGA. Made in Slovakia.
Why I added it
BALANCE is the middle of the arc and the truest picture of what I believe: balance is not a little of one thing, but the right ratio of both. CBDA carries calm and release, CBGA clarity and focus — and a cup holding both pushes in neither direction. It is a tea for an ordinary day that should simply be all right. Be like hemp. Be balance.
Who it is for — and when I reach elsewhere
The middle of the day, work, the household, an ordinary day. Anyone hesitating over which tea to start with should start here; from its middle, roads lead both ways.
Anyone who wants to go down in the evening has RELAX; anyone after focus and digestion has CHILLOUT.
How I prepare the tea+
Leaf tea is the plant in its raw state — and raw hemp does not contain cannabinoids as the world of oils knows them, but their acidic forms: CBDA and CBGA. An acid is the shape in which the plant itself made the cannabinoid — the precursor of CBD and CBG, with effects of its own that are now being studied intensively. Hot water converts part of the acids into CBD or CBG, part stays in the original form — so the cup carries both.
A heaped spoonful per cup, poured over with boiling water, covered and steeped for at least ten minutes — covering keeps the volatile compounds in the cup. And since cannabinoids dissolve in fats, I add a drop of oil or milk; the body then takes more from the cup.
Questions and answers+
By name and by the idea of balance, yes; by content, no — the tea is a gentle leaf tea from two varieties, the drops are a concentrated extract in coconut oil.
Half the tea is from a CBD variety, half from a CBG variety — two acids in equal weight, neither leading.
