Hemp

Hemp is a hardy plant cultivated for thousands of years in Asia and Europe for its fiber, seeds and leaves. The hemp leaves used in tea are completely non-psychoactive and brew a mild, green, grassy cup with a soft herbal aroma and a gently earthy finish. Hemp works well with green tea, chamomile, mint, lemongrass and lavender in herbal blends. Its subtle flavor lets brighter ingredients take the lead, and it tastes pleasant both as a warm evening cup and served iced.
