[Ad- gifted product] We both have been getting more and more into coffee, having now purchased a little single coffee brewer and started making more coffee at home to drink. I really enjoy cold brew – I’m not a huge fan of drinking hot liquids as it makes me warm quite quickly and I much rather be of a colder temperature. When Calm Coffee reached out to offer some of their CBD-infused coffee, I figured why not. I’ve previously looked at some CBD-infused dark chocolate treats, so coffee would be fun!
Dann and I got two cans of each of their cold brew drinks; an Americano and a Caffe Latte which contained oat milk – the best kind of lactose free milk. Along with it, we got a bag of ground coffee to brew. One morning, we decided to try out these cans of drinks. Both of them had been stored in the fridge and were a good size, slightly smaller than an energy drink. The idea behind adding CBD-oil into coffee is to bring down the jittery feeling that comes with drinking too much coffee or drinking coffee too quickly, which does make a lot of sense.
I had the Caffe Latte which, for me, was better than the Americano that Dann had, but we both agreed that these coffees were a much darker and bitter brew then we both enjoyed. We like our coffee sweet and smooth, not so much a bitter experience. This may be in part because of the oil, but most likely was just a preference that we had when it came to these blends. The taste of the CBD-oil was there, in the background, and came as sort of an aftertaste, but not one that’s too terrible if you are use to the taste of the oil. I had less of this flavor in the dark chocolate treats, but it wasn’t overpowering to the general sip.
Calm Coffee is a organic, vegan product with very few calories per drink, which is always a big plus in my book. I like the idea of CBD-infused coffee, and feel that if it was a sweeter blend that hit my specific sweet needs, it would be a great product for me. If you like a bitter blend and want to get your CBD-oil in a different form or are someone who gets a bit edgy and jittery after a coffee, this is a pretty good option for you. The Calm brand also has hot chocolate, chocolate milk, and more – so there is something for everyone, really!
