Herbata Konopna KONCENTRACJA 50g - Cytrus & Ginkgo

Herbata Konopna KONCENTRACJA 50 g - Cytrus i Ginkgo

Four raw materials and nothing beyond them: hemp leaves, ginkgo biloba, orange peel, and hibiscus. This is what the manufacturer lists in the description of the KONCENTRACJA blend, and this is what goes into a 50 g package, which is enough for several weeks of regular brewing, not just one trial. BioCanna describes this infusion directly as a caffeine-free proposal and as a natural alternative to it, so a cup consumed in the afternoon does not have to conflict with the evening.

The aroma is led by citrus: orange peel gives a sweet-bitter top note, hibiscus adds a distinct acidity and ruby color to the infusion, while hemp leaves leave a herbal, slightly grassy trace in the background. Ginkgo biloba is almost tasteless and is responsible for the name of the blend, as it has been returning in herbal recipes associated with mental work for decades. Brewing is simple: a teaspoon of the blend, water set aside for a moment after boiling, and a few minutes covered.

The dried flower is loose and clearly chopped, so it works well in a steeping device, in a teapot with a strainer, and in a regular cup with straining at the end.

Ingredients

Full list of ingredients provided by the producer, in the order from their product card:

• Leaves of Cannabis sativa (Cannabis sativa L.) - the base of the blend, herbal and slightly grassy tone.
• Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo biloba) - leaf raw material with an almost neutral taste.
• Orange peel - citrusy, sweet-bitter aromatic accent.
• Hibiscus - acidity and intense, ruby color of the infusion.

Composition in practice

This list is short because the original is: four raw materials, one net weight, and one brewing protocol, the same for both weights. It is also worth noting what this composition entails: four plant raw materials exhaust the list, and the manufacturer describes the blend as a caffeine-free infusion. In practice, this means an infusion whose flavor is built solely from the dried flower in the cup.

You regulate the strength yourself (by portion and brewing time) and can change it from cup to cup, as the blend is loose and you measure it with a teaspoon each time anew. Check the allergen declarations and vegan and gluten-free status on the packaging: it is the batch label that will reach you that is decisive in these matters.

Specification

How to use

The manufacturer provides one simple steeping protocol, and it’s worth sticking to it, as hibiscus steeped in boiling water becomes sharply acidic, and the orange peel then releases more bitterness than aroma.

• Add 1 teaspoon of the blend, about 2 g, to a cup or infuser.
• Pour with water at a temperature of 80-85°C - this is water after boiling, set aside for a moment.
• Przykryj i pozostaw na 4-6 minut
• Strain and drink without additives or with a bit of honey if you prefer less acidity.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily serving provided by the manufacturer

For whom

This is a proposal for adults who drink a lot of infusions during the day and are looking for something beyond black tea and coffee. The 50 g format is designed for regular consumption, so if you know that this blend will become part of your afternoon ritual, it will last longer without needing to purchase more.

The absence of caffeine sources means that the infusion can also be brewed late in the evening, without counting the hours until sleep, and it can comfortably sit next to a glass of water throughout the workday. The distinct acidity of hibiscus and the bitterness of orange peel create a characteristic flavor: if you enjoy fruity-herbal infusions, you will like it right away, and if you prefer mild and low-acid infusions, check the smaller format first before buying a stock.

It also works well as an infusion for a teapot for a shared afternoon, as the ruby color looks much better in glass than in a mug. The blend is not intended for children. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as individuals taking medications regularly, should consult their doctor before consuming it.

Frequently asked questions

How much of the blend is used for one cup?

The manufacturer suggests one teaspoon, which is about 2 g per cup. This is the amount at which the infusion has a full color and noticeable acidity of hibiscus. If you prefer it milder, reduce the serving instead of shortening the steeping time - a shorter steeping extracts mainly acidity from the blend, not the citrus aroma, so the infusion ends up being both weaker and sharper in taste.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

The manufacturer describes the blend as caffeine-free and as a natural alternative to it. This is confirmed by the list of ingredients: it contains only leaves of Cannabis sativa, Ginkgo biloba, orange peel, and hibiscus, so there is no actual tea, no green tea, or guarana.

What water and how long to steep?

Water at a temperature of 80-85°C and 4-6 minutes covered - this is what the manufacturer states. It’s simply water after boiling, set aside for two or three minutes. Covering is practically important: essential oils from the orange peel are volatile and without a lid, they remain in the kitchen instead of in the cup. Boiling water straight from the kettle extracts a prickly acidity from hibiscus.

How to store the blend after opening?

For loose herbs, the usual rule applies: a tightly sealed package, a dry and dark place, away from the stove and window. Moisture and light damage the aroma faster than time itself, and with a 50 g format, the package remains open longer, so this has real significance here. Do not transfer the blend to a transparent jar sitting on the countertop.

Is the herb suitable for steeping in a teapot?

Yes. The blend is loose and clearly chopped, so it works well in a steeping device, in a teapot with a strainer, and in a regular cup with straining at the end. The temperature and time remain the same (80-85°C and 4-6 minutes covered), only the number of teaspoons changes, which you adjust to the volume of the vessel. The ruby color is best seen in glass, which is due to hibiscus.

Variants and category

You can also get the same blend in a smaller package if you want to try it first. From the same BioCanna series comes the fruity blend Vitality with a completely different flavor profile - fruity instead of citrusy. We have gathered all the infusions from this shelf in the category. Teas.
