The Brothers Apothecary

I’ve learned recently that no matter how much I want to enjoy the benefits of hemp/CBD, my body just does not like it. Even in small amounts, I get so incredibly dizzy and disoriented. I took two sips of this tea and my head was swimming. I can’t imagine how I would have felt if I had finished the whole cup. Goodness.

Sipdown. Sad to see this one go for… reasons. I may order it again sometime if I foresee a stressful event coming up.

Alright, my first experience with CBD tea and CBD in general. This might be the first CBD tea review on Steepster? If so, I am happy to be the guinea pig.

When I open the pouch, I realize there is no way I can take this to work with me. It absolutely reeks of weed. It smells like dank, fancy bud with chai spices. The little square tea bag is stained with yellow, which I can only assume is the oil.

The Brothers Apothecary were kind enough to include a CBD honey stick, too, which I added to this tea with a splash of 2% milk. The instructions recommended coconut oil, but I didn’t have that on hand. Steeped, it comes out a bit dark and cloudy. It still smells unmistakably like weed. The flavor is strangely hoppy and cinnamony. This tastes kinda like a spiced beer, but it also tastes almost exactly like using a vaporizer. I think that’s what I’m mainly tasting. Vaporized weed that also kinda tastes like chai. But I don’t suppose I’m drinking this for the flavor.

I’m going to hop into the shower while I let the CBD do its work. I’ll be back with a rating and updates on how that went.

EDIT: The feeling was actually pretty wonderful. I was relaxed and very happy, the music I was playing sounded extra nice, and it felt like all my muscles were at ease.
