Why I added it
RELAX is the evening end of the arc — a tea for the hour when nothing else has to be managed. CBDA, and the CBD partly released from it by hot water, are compounds of calm: head, body, sleep, release. And a cup is a ritual in itself — warmth, scent and ten minutes that belong only to you. Half of evening calm lies in the fact that someone sat down for it.
RELAX. Leaf tea from a CBD hemp variety — the acid CBDA in the leading role. A cup for the evening: head down, body down, the day gone. Take the present moment in full — in a cup as well.
What you are holding. 45 g of leaf tea from the leaves of a CBD variety of hemp. The leading compound: CBDA — the acidic, raw form of cannabidiol, exactly as the plant made it. It also carries a trace of THCA — the acidic form of THC. Made in Slovakia.
Who it is for — and when I reach elsewhere
Evening, the end of the day, preparing for sleep.
Anyone after focus and daytime has CHILLOUT; anyone who wants balance without a direction has BALANCE. And anyone who needs strong support in the evening measured in milligrams knows a cup of tea is not a bottle of drops — tea is a gentle companion, not a concentrate.
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+
Tea is not a sleeping aid — it is a gentle evening support and a ritual of slowing down. Anyone who needs more combines the cup with drops.
In traces — alongside CBDA, the CBD variety carries THCA, the acidic, raw form of THC and the third acid of the tea trio. It is not intoxicating in itself and hot water converts only a fraction of it; a cup is not for getting high. In research it is now among the most closely watched cannabinoid acids. The CBG variety has almost none — which is why you read about it here, with the RELAX tea.
Cannabinoids dissolve in fats, not in water. A drop of milk or oil in the cup means the body takes more from the tea.
Where to go next
The other two teas of the three.
My products, the CBDICAL products, I place on the market as collector’s items of botanical value. They are not a food, a food supplement or a medicine — not because they lack their quality, but because current regulation does not allow it.
Everything I write here describes the plant, my making of it and what research has looked into. It is also a picture of how I imagine a state that lets a person decide about their own body — and about their animals — according to science, rather than limits set out of excessive caution.
What you do with the product is your choice.
