Hemp tea is similar to any other herbal tea in that dry hemp is steeped in boiling water to make it. You can use either dry hemp leaves or flower buds, though sometimes people will add seeds or even parts of the root as well. Strain out the solids to leave a flavorful liquid behind. The resulting tea has a greenish-brown color and is described as having a slightly bitter or earthy flavor. Some people like to add flavoring or sweetening agents to their hemp tea, like lemon, honey, or sugar. Hemp tea is primarily used to help bring calmness to the mind and body. Its ability to promote relaxation is largely due to the non-psychoactive CBD and other bioactive compounds it contains. Hemp tea can help relieve pain, anxiety, and inflammation and may benefit sleep.
