CBD in the UK: what's legal, what's safe and how to check a brand
CBD tea is legal to buy in the UK. CBD in food counts as a "novel food", and products linked to an application on the FSA's public list can stay on sale while it's assessed. The FSA advises healthy adults to limit CBD to 10 mg a day, and THC, the part of cannabis that gets you high, is a controlled drug. All four of our teas are Validated on the FSA's public list, every bag is made to contain 10 mg of CBD, and THC was below the lab's limit of quantification in our 2022 tests.
Hemp tea vs CBD tea: what's actually in your cup?
Hemp tea is dried hemp leaves, brewed like any herbal tea. CBD tea, the way we make it, is proper tea with 10 mg of CBD added. One is the plant in your mug. The other is a brew you'd buy anyway, with a known amount of CBD in it.
CBD tea bags vs loose leaf: what's the difference?
The real difference is how sure you can be about what's in your cup. Many loose-leaf CBD teas are dried plant material, most contain hemp leaves with questionable amounts of CBD if at all. So the CBD you get depends on the leaf and how you brew it. Four Twentea teas are bags: each one holds a measured, water-soluble CBD extract, so every bag is made to contain 10 mg.
The best CBD tea in the UK: what to check before you buy
The best CBD tea is one you can check. A clear amount of CBD in every bag, lab results to back it up, honest THC wording, tea you'd want to drink anyway, and a spot on the FSA's public list. After that, it's down to taste.
