Hemp Tea CONCENTRATION 20g - Citrus & Ginkgo

Hemp Tea CONCENTRATION 20 g - Citrus and Ginkgo

The CONCENTRATION blend consists of four ingredients listed by the manufacturer: hemp seed leaves, ginkgo biloba, orange peel, and hibiscus. The composition is identical to the larger format, differing only in the amount of dried herbs in the bag, so this variant is purchased when it is not yet known whether the sour, citrus profile will appeal to the taste.

BioCanna describes this infusion as a caffeine-free option and as a natural alternative to it, which in practice means that the brewing time does not matter. The herb is loose and clearly ground, hibiscus colors the infusion ruby red after just one minute, and the orange peel is noticeable in aroma before in taste. To brew, just a teaspoon and water set aside after boiling are needed, without a strainer and without any additional equipment.

The manufacturer provides exactly the same brewing protocol for this format as for the larger one.

Ingredients

The full list of ingredients provided by the manufacturer on the card for this variant:

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

Composition in practice

The list is short and that is an advantage here: four ingredients, each recognizable by name and each with its own role in the cup. The hemp leaf provides an herbal and slightly grassy tone, ginkgo is almost neutral in taste, the orange peel is responsible for the citrus aroma, and hibiscus for the acidity and ruby color of the infusion. The entire list consists of these four plant ingredients and nothing else, and the manufacturer describes the blend as a caffeine-free infusion.

The taste is built solely from what is visible in the bag, and its intensity is regulated by the portion and brewing time: shorter brewing tones down the acidity of the hibiscus, longer enhances it. 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 brewing protocol is one and comes directly from the manufacturer. Sticking to it makes sense for taste: hibiscus poured with boiling water becomes sharply sour, and the orange peel then gives bitterness instead of aroma.

• Pour 1 teaspoon of the blend, about 2 g, into a cup or infuser
• Pour with water at a temperature of 80-85°C, that is, water set aside after boiling
• Cover and leave for 4-6 minutes
• Strain and drink without additives or with a little honey
• Do not exceed the recommended daily portion provided by the manufacturer

For whom

Curiosity is the first of two reasons why this format is purchased: you want to check if the infusion with hemp leaves and distinct hibiscus tastes good to you at all, and you do not want to be left with a bag of herbs if it turns out that it does not. The second is travel or office, where a smaller package simply fits more conveniently and rotates faster, so the herb does not sit open for weeks.

The infusion works well during mental work and studying, as the citrus aroma is refreshing, and the lack of caffeine-containing ingredients means you can drink it in the evening as well. It is worth knowing that the acidity of hibiscus is pronounced here and does not appeal to everyone - that is why the small format makes sense as a first purchase, not as a saving. The blend is not intended for children.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women and those taking medications regularly should consult a doctor beforehand, just as with any herbal infusion containing hemp leaves.

Frequently asked questions

Why water 80-85°C, and not boiling?

This temperature is provided by the manufacturer and has a direct impact on taste. Hibiscus poured with boiling water becomes sharply sour and begins to dominate the rest of the blend, and the orange peel then gives bitterness instead of aroma. It is enough to set the boiled water aside for a moment before pouring - a thermometer is not needed for this. The manufacturer specifies the brewing time as 4-6 minutes covered.

What is the difference in composition from the larger package?

None. The manufacturer provides the same list of four ingredients for both formats, the same brewing protocol, and the same serving size. It differs only in net weight in the bag, and thus how long the package lasts with daily brewing. The choice between them is a choice of stock, not recipe.

Is the infusion suitable for drinking in the evening?

The manufacturer describes the blend as a caffeine-free infusion and as a natural alternative to it, and in the list of ingredients, there is indeed nothing that carries caffeine: no proper tea, green tea, or guarana. In this respect, nothing prevents you from brewing a cup late in the evening. The packaging label remains a decisive source.

Is this a product for children?

No. The manufacturer notes on the product card that the blend is intended solely for adults. Keep the package out of reach of children, just like any herbal herb. Pregnant and breastfeeding women and those taking medications regularly should consult drinking herbal infusions with a doctor before starting.

How to store the herb after opening the bag?

For loose herbs, the usual rule applies: the package should be tightly closed, kept in a dry, cool place, and shielded from light. With a small format, this is less important than with a stock, as the herb rotates faster, but moisture can spoil the aroma of the orange peel in a few days. The simplest way is to keep the bag sealed and in a cupboard, not on the counter next to the kettle.

Variants and category

If you like the taste, the same blend is also packaged by the manufacturer in a larger package. From the same series, BioCanna offers a forest-fruit blend Immunity, built around forest fruits instead of citrus. We have gathered all infusions from this shelf in the Teas category.
