CBD infusion

A CBD infusion is a preparation made from hemp rich in cannabidiol (CBD), intended to be infused in hot water. Depending on the recipe, it may consist of flowers, leaves or other parts of the hemp plant, sometimes combined with aromatic herbs, fruit, spices or flowers to create varied flavour profiles.

CBD infusions are now among the most widespread products in the world of hemp. They combine the traditions of herbal infusions with the natural aromatic characteristics of hemp and are available in a wide variety of blends.

Composition of a CBD infusion

Hemp is generally the main ingredient in a CBD infusion. The parts used may naturally contain various cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and other plant compounds present in the plant.

Depending on the recipe, hemp is combined with ingredients such as chamomile, mint, verbena, lime blossom, hibiscus, fruit, spices or other aromatic plants. Each blend therefore has its own aromatic profile.

A wide variety of flavours

CBD infusions offer highly varied taste profiles. Some highlight the plant-based notes of hemp, while others develop floral, fruity, citrus, woody or spicy aromas depending on the selected ingredients.

The terpenes naturally present in hemp also contribute to the aromatic character of certain preparations.

Preparing a CBD infusion

A CBD infusion is generally prepared by leaving the blend to infuse in hot water for several minutes. The water temperature and infusion time may vary according to the manufacturer's recommendations and the composition of the blend.

As cannabinoids are not very soluble in water, some people choose to add a food-grade fat, such as whole milk or another fat, when preparing the infusion.

CBD infusion and hemp tea

The terms CBD infusion and hemp tea are sometimes used in a similar way, but they do not always refer to exactly the same products. A CBD infusion generally focuses on the use of hemp rich in cannabidiol, while hemp tea may encompass a broader range of hemp-based preparations.

The composition, ingredients and aromatic profiles may therefore vary depending on the manufacturers and recipes offered.

An important category of hemp products

CBD infusions now occupy an important place among hemp-derived products. They complement flowers, oils, resins, cosmetics and other preparations available on the market, while offering an approach centred on the plant's natural flavours and aromas.
