CBD tea is any tea with cannabidiol (CBD) in it: hemp tea, ready-made CBD tea bags, or your usual cup with CBD oil stirred in. CBD dissolves in fat, not water, so it needs milk or another fat to mix. Hemp tea bags often contain little CBD, or don’t say how much, so check the mg per bag.
CBD tea: which Evopure product fits your cup?
Add a measured oil yourself and you know exactly what’s in your cup. Choose by drink and time of day (checked against our product pages, October 2026).
| Product | Strengths | In your cup | For about 10mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broad Spectrum CBD Oil | 500mg, 1,000mg or 2,000mg | Any tea or latte; unflavoured, just CBD and organic MCT oil | 4, 2 or 1 drop |
| Sleep CBD Oil | 500mg or 1,000mg | An evening chamomile latte; adds passion flower extract | 4 or 2 drops |
| Flow CBD Oil | 500mg or 1,000mg | A morning tea or chai; adds ashwagandha and maca | 4 or 2 drops |
| CBD Capsules | 10mg or 25mg, 30 a pack | One alongside your tea, with no taste | One 10mg capsule |
Flow contains ashwagandha: avoid it if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have a thyroid, liver or autoimmune condition, or are due to have surgery (see ashwagandha side effects).
The FSA’s 10mg a day figure is precautionary advice rather than a legal limit, set while longer-term safety research continues. At Evopure we think it is a very cautious figure, and many adults use more. If you go above it, increase slowly, and check with your GP or pharmacist first if you take any medication.
Value: divide the price by the total mg of CBD. Of our 10ml oils, the 2,000mg Broad Spectrum works out cheapest per mg, at about 200 drops of 10mg each. Subscribe and Save lowers every order, and you can skip, pause or cancel any time.

CBD tea vs hemp tea
“CBD tea” covers four different things. All are simply another way of taking CBD by mouth, like oil or gummies: the tea adds flavour and a ritual, and the CBD content is what you need to check.
| Type | CBD per cup | Absorption | Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemp tea (dried leaf) | Usually very little; often not stated | Poor in plain water | What part of the plant |
| CBD tea bags | Often low and uneven | Poor in plain water | mg per bag, lab report |
| Your tea plus CBD oil | You choose and measure | Better with milk or fat | Drops per 10mg |
| Water-soluble CBD | Stated per serving | Mixes into water | Emulsifiers, FSA list |
UK CBD tea bags we checked in October 2026 listed about 3mg to 35mg of CBD per bag. If a hemp tea gives no mg figure, assume it contains little. See hemp oil vs CBD oil.
How to make CBD tea with CBD oil
CBD floats on plain hot water, so mix it into a fat first.
- Brew your tea as usual. Caffeine-free chamomile or rooibos suit an evening cup.
- Measure your CBD. Count your drops so you know your dose. See how much CBD to take.
- Add it to a fat. Stir the drops into a splash of warm milk, oat milk or a teaspoon of honey, then pour into the tea. Don’t boil the oil or add it to the kettle.
- Stir well and drink the last mouthful, as some CBD settles on the surface and sides.
Milk is not just for taste. In a 2020 trial of a pharmaceutical CBD, whole milk raised total CBD exposure about 2.4 times compared with an empty stomach. See CBD bioavailability.
Drops for about 10mg of CBD in our 10ml oils (a standard drop is about 0.05ml): 4 drops of a 500mg (5%) oil, 2 drops of a 1,000mg (10%) oil, or 1 drop of the 2,000mg (20%) Broad Spectrum CBD Oil, which is unflavoured, so your tea keeps its taste. For other oils, CBD oil strengths explained shows the maths. Your tea counts towards your daily total. See also how to take CBD oil.
CBD tea bags and loose leaf: what to check
Buying ready-made CBD tea bags or loose leaf CBD tea? Check five things:
- CBD in mg per bag or per serving, printed clearly. “Hemp infused” with no number tells you nothing.
- THC. Look for a stated THC result, ideally 0%.
- The FSA public list. Teas with added CBD extract are novel foods, so in England and Wales they should be linked to an application on the FSA’s public list.
- A recent lab report from an independent ISO 17025 lab for that batch.
- What is in the bag. CBD extract on tea leaves is not the same as hemp flower (see the legal section).
On sale in October 2026: Four Twentea’s four blends have 10mg of water-soluble broad spectrum CBD per bag and are on the FSA public list. Simply CBD’s teas have 5mg per bag; its green and black teas contain caffeine. Evopure isn’t connected with either. At 10mg a bag, one cup matches the FSA’s daily figure (see the CBD daily limit).
Water-soluble CBD tea
Water-soluble CBD is broken into tiny droplets coated with emulsifiers, so it mixes into black or herbal tea without milk.
In a small 2020 pilot study of 10 adults, a water-soluble CBD powder was about 4.5 times more bioavailable than a fat-based powder. Studies are small, and taking CBD oil with milk closes much of the gap. It usually costs more per mg; the same label checks apply. See what is water-soluble CBD? or, for canned drinks, how much CBD is in a CBD drink.
3 CBD tea recipes
Evening chamomile latte
Each recipe makes one mug. Steep 1 chamomile tea bag in 100ml just-boiled water for 5 minutes. Warm 150ml oat milk, stir in 1 tsp honey and your CBD drops, then combine. Caffeine-free, so it suits a calm evening routine (the NHS advises no tea or coffee in the 6 hours before bed). See chamomile tea at night, the best tea for sleep or what’s in Pukka Night Time tea.
Chai latte
Brew 1 chai tea bag in 100ml water for 4 minutes. Warm 150ml whole or oat milk with a pinch of cinnamon, add your CBD, then pour in the tea. Chai contains caffeine, so have it earlier in the day (see the best time to take CBD oil).
Green tea or matcha latte
Whisk 1 tsp matcha (or brew 1 green tea bag) in 50ml water at about 80°C. Top with 200ml warm milk mixed with your CBD. Grassy flavours suit CBD; it contains caffeine too.
Not keen on the taste? See how to make CBD oil taste better. The milk-first method works in CBD coffee too, with more in cooking with CBD oil and mushroom tea.
Is CBD tea legal in the UK?
CBD oil added to tea is legal for adults as long as the product meets UK rules on THC and is on the FSA’s public list of CBD products linked to novel food applications. Smokable or loose hemp flower (“CBD flower”) is treated as cannabis and is illegal in the UK, so avoid teas made by steeping flower.
The Home Office says pure, isolated CBD is not a controlled drug, but under the Misuse of Drugs Act “cannabis” means any part of the plant except the mature stalk, the fibre and the seeds. Under food law, the FSA says a plain water infusion of hemp leaves without the flowering tops is not a novel food, but CBD extracts are. A listed tea with CBD extract added is on much firmer ground than one made from flowers. See is CBD legal in the UK? and hemp vs marijuana.
Is CBD tea safe?
- Count every source of CBD you take, with the FSA advice above in mind.
- Medication. CBD can affect how some medicines are processed: check with your GP or pharmacist first. See CBD and medication.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. We don’t recommend our products during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The FSA also advises against CBD at these times unless under medical direction.
- Adults only. Our products are for adults aged 18 and over.
CBD isn’t a treatment for any medical condition. Most people who enjoy CBD tea like it as part of a calm daily routine.
