Hemp Tea CONCENTRATION 50g - Citrus & Ginkgo

Hemp Tea CONCENTRATION 50 g - Citrus and Ginkgo

Four ingredients and nothing else: hemp leaves, ginkgo biloba, orange peel, and hibiscus. This is what the producer lists in the description of the CONCENTRATION blend, and this is what goes into the 50 g package, which is enough for several weeks of regular brewing, not just a single trial. BioCanna describes this infusion directly as a caffeine-free option and as a natural alternative to it, so a cup consumed in the afternoon does not have to interfere with the evening.

The aroma is led by citrus: the orange peel provides a sweet-bitter top note, hibiscus adds a distinct acidity and ruby color to the infusion, while the 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 featured 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 blend is loose and clearly ground, so it works well in a teapot, in a pot with a strainer, and in a regular cup with straining at the end.

Ingredients

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

• Hemp leaves (Cannabis sativa L.) - the base of the blend, herbal and slightly grassy tone
• Ginkgo biloba - leaf ingredient with an almost neutral taste
• Orange peel - citrus, 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 plant ingredients, one net weight, and one brewing protocol, the same for both weights. It is also worth noting what this composition entails: four plant ingredients exhaust the list, and the producer describes the blend as a caffeine-free infusion. In practice, this means an infusion whose flavor is built solely from the loose tea 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: that is the batch label that will reach you, and it is decisive in these matters.

Specification

How to use

The producer provides one simple brewing protocol, and it is worth sticking to it, as hibiscus poured with boiling water becomes sharply sour, 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
• Cover and leave for 4-6 minutes
• Strain and drink without additives or with a bit of honey if you prefer less acidity
• Do not exceed the recommended daily portion provided by the producer

For whom

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

The absence of caffeine-containing ingredients means that the infusion can also be brewed late in the evening, without counting hours until sleep, and that 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 like fruity-herbal infusions, it will suit your taste right away, and if you prefer mild and low-acid infusions, check a smaller format first before buying a stock.

It also works well as an infusion for a pot 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 people taking medications regularly, should consult their doctor before drinking.

Frequently asked questions

How much blend is used for one cup?

The producer states 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 portion instead of shortening the brewing time - a shorter brew extracts mainly acid 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 producer describes the blend as a caffeine-free infusion and as a natural alternative to it. This is confirmed by the ingredient list itself: it contains only hemp leaves, ginkgo biloba, orange peel, and hibiscus, so no proper tea, no green tea, or guarana.

What water and how long to brew?

Water at a temperature of 80-85°C and 4-6 minutes covered - this is what the producer states. This is simply water after boiling, set aside for two or three minutes. Covering is practically important: the 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 the sharp acidity from hibiscus.

How to store the blend after opening?

For loose herbs, the usual rule applies: a tightly closed package, in 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 standing on the countertop.

Is the blend suitable for brewing in a pot?

Yes. The blend is loose and clearly ground, so it works well in an infuser, in a pot 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 choose according to the volume of the vessel. The ruby color, for which hibiscus is responsible, is best seen in glass.

Variants and category

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