Hemp Tea

Hemp tea is an infusion brewed from the hemp plant, and in every blend here the hemp sits alongside herbs, fruit or a tea base. It is a herbal tea whose distinguishing ingredient is hemp — poured with hot water and drunk, never smoked, and never an extract or an oil. What you buy is dried plant material for the pot, not a concentrate.

You will see it searched under a lot of names. People type CBD tea, CBD infused tea, CBD herbal tea, cannabis tea and weed tea, and all of those point at this product. On the pack it is hemp tea, because Swiss food labelling does not allow a cannabinoid indication on a food, and the plant behind every one of those names is the same one, Cannabis sativa L.

That food classification is the frame for this whole page. Hemp tea is placed on the market under the Foodstuffs Act as a herbal infusion, which is why we describe what is in the bag and never what drinking it does. It is also not an oil: an infusion gives up only what hot water can take from leaf and flower over a few minutes, while CBD oil and hemp oil from Switzerland is an extract carried in a base oil. The hemp itself comes through grassy and hay-like, and you smell it the moment the pouch opens.

Hemp tea is made from the leaves and flowers of Cannabis sativa L., and both go into the blends on this page. The two parts do the same job to different degrees: they carry the aroma. A hemp flower tea leans resinous and floral; a hemp leaf tea is the milder end, and hemp tea leaves, stalk and the herbs around them give the hay-like base most blends here are built on. Hemp tea flowers are one ingredient among several on this page, never the whole bag.

Cut and sift decide how quickly a blend opens in water, which is why a fine herbal mix and a coarse leaf tea do not steep to the same clock. No product in this range declares a cut size, so read the steeping time on the pack instead — it tells you the same thing in the unit you actually need. And if you want the flower on its own rather than blended in, Swiss CBD flowers are sold whole by the gram.

You choose a hemp tea on three things, and all three are printed on the pack: the serving type, the blend base, and where it was grown and what the producer declares about it. The three run independently of each other — a herbal blend comes as loose leaf or in bags, and a Swiss-grown tea can sit on any base — so treat them as three separate decisions rather than one. Pack size and steeping time sit on each product page, next to the blend. Compare those three lines before you compare pictures; they tell you more about the cup than the packaging does.

What you can verify about a Swiss hemp tea is printed on the pack: where it was grown, what is not in it, and whether that batch was tested. Buyers often look for this as Swiss cannabis tea; on the pack it is hemp tea, and every blend here was grown and blended in Switzerland.

These declarations hold across the range:

• Grown and blended in Switzerland, by Alpsbee, B-Chill and La Salade.
• Vegan, and free from artificial additives.
• No pesticides and no herbicides used in cultivation.
• Gluten-free and sugar-free on most blends, not on every one — the pack says which.
• Organic certification where a producer holds one; for organic hemp tea, check the certificate rather than the word.

Lab reports belong to a producer and a batch, not to a category. Where a report exists you have transparent access to the lab report on the product page, and where a brand supplies no report, we say so on the product page. Swiss cultivation rules decide how the hemp plant may be grown here.

You can buy hemp tea in Switzerland in three kinds of place: the supermarket, the drugstore and pharmacy shelf, and a specialist retailer. They differ in how many blends they carry and in how much the pack tells you, and the two go together — the wider the range, the more is usually declared on it.

In a supermarket, hemp tea sits on the herbal tea shelf, normally as one or two blends in bags. It is the fastest way to get a box today. Origin, producer and batch information are rarely printed on that box, the selection changes with the season, and there is usually nothing to compare a blend against.

Drugstores and pharmacies are the second channel. The selection is narrower again and the tea is generally shelved as a herbal infusion rather than as hemp, but you can ask someone about it, and individual branches carry brands the supermarket does not.

A specialist retailer is the third, and it is the only one where the blend base, the serving type, the Swiss origin and the batch information are all declared next to each other. That is what the channel is for: not more tea, but enough written down about each one to choose between them. If you are searching for hemp tea near you, a shop and an online order both work — the difference is how much you know about the pack before you open it.

Order hemp tea online at uWeed and you get several independent Swiss blending houses on one shelf — Alpsbee, B-Chill and La Salade — with the blend base, the serving type, the pack size and the steeping time written on every listing. That is what makes them comparable: you are choosing between blends on stated attributes rather than between photographs of boxes.

Sort by price, by newest or by rating, and filter by brand and serving type to get to the shortlist you want. Star ratings and written reviews sit under each blend and cover what customers found in the cup — aroma, cut, packaging and how it brewed.

We ship discreetly from Switzerland with the usual payment methods, and delivery is free from CHF 49. Order before 4 PM, delivered tomorrow (within Switzerland). The rest of the range is in the Swiss CBD shop.
