FAQ
Word is starting to spread in the medical community as well as mainstream media that cannabidiol, one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in marijuana and hemp plants, can be beneficial for specific ailments as well as general health and wellness.
We all process an active Endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our bodies which refers to a collection of cell receptors and corresponding molecules, it seems best to maintain an optimal balance in the body of the ECS system.
CBD infused Coffee can in some cases deal with various disorders such as Anxiety, Insomnia, and Arthritis while producing some relaxing effect on the body.
As noted by the World Health Organisation (WHO), CBD is safe and generally well-tolerated in humans. It can be taken by people of all ages, including kids, and has never been reported to cause an overdose. In fact, full-blown cannabis has never been reported to cause an overdose, never mind harmless CBD!
Whole plant CBD contains a wide variety of naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids, and plant materials. This type of full or broad spectrum oil is known for its high effectiveness thanks to the entourage effect that occurs when a whole plant chemical profile is consumed.
Despite CBD isolate's inability to produce the entourage effect, the molecule still has plenty of research-backed and anecdotal evidence supporting its effectiveness. The isolate form also has some distinct advantages that make it attractive to new and experienced users. Namely, an isolate is THC-free, and extremely versatile.
These days, thanks to modern extraction technologies, the purest form of cannabidiol available is CBD isolate. The highest quality CBD isolates can test as high as 99+% pure cannabidiol and are still widely thought of as a relatively new product on the market.
Please see more information about CBD for additional information.
WHAT ARE CBD ISOLATES?
CBD isolate is essentially just cannabidiol in its purest chemical form.
CBD isolate contain no additives, no contaminants, and literally nothing but CBD.CBD Isolate Powder.
That means no THC, which means no psychoactive high feelings whatsoever.
Since cannabidiol we use is isolates are 98% pure CBD, they’re so pure that they no longer contain any of the other organic compounds like terpenes that are found naturally in industrial hemp or marijuana plants.
ARE CBD ISOLATES SAFE TO USE?
CBD isolate products can sound scary and cause some concern, but there is no need to worry.
If you are new to the recent developments in the world of cannabinoid extracts, using products like CBD isolate may sound risky.
Given the fact that CBD isolates look absolutely nothing like the hemp-derived CBD oils people are used to seeing, it can make these potent-sounding products seem scarier than they actually are.
WHY ARE CBD ISOLATES WHITE?
Because CBD isolates look like white powder or crystals and have absolutely no taste and smell, it is not surprising that customers new to CBD products might be a little confused about how it can come from a green plant.
If you have already seen or used CBD products that are a dark shade of greenish goldish brown, or CBD-infused products like edibles, isolates won’t show any resemblance to them. The reason is due to how they’re made, as isolate is in one of the purist forms.
HOW IS CBD ISOLATE MADE?
Chromatography, a common chemistry technique for separating a mixture, is one of the most commonly used methods of isolating and purifying cannabinoids, thus producing things like CBD isolate.
This process takes out all of the terpenes, which are responsible for scent, flavour and more. Additionally, chromatography separates out the unwanted cannabinoids such as the most commonly known psychoactive one, THC. Last but not least, this process removes all plant matter.
What you’re left with is, pure CBD isolate
What is the Difference Between CBD Isolate & Full Spectrum CBD?
Full Spectrum CBD Contains THC – CBD Isolate does not.
A full spectrum oil will contain THC, though the levels are very low. This is because most CBD oil is extracted from low-THC industrial hemp (Less than 0.3% by dry weight) rather than from high-THC marijuana.
Companies selling CBD online will adhere to these standards and you can verify the THC levels before purchasing. At low levels, these THC containing products won't produce a 'high' when used at regular dosages. Be sure to look for test results before purchasing any CBD product to ensure that you know what you're taking.
HOW MUCH IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CBD ISOLATE?
Even if you are used to high doses of traditional hemp-derived CBD oils and extracts, you still may not realize how much more care and calculation it requires to properly introduce isolates into your daily health regimen.
For example, just because you usually ingest 40 mg. of CBD oil per day, doesn’t mean that you should be taking 40 mg. of CBD isolate per day. It is important to remember that CBD isolate is 99+% pure, and therefore a little goes a long way
Endocannabinoid system (ECS)?
The endocannabinoid system has been recently recognized as an important modulatory system in the function of brain, endocrine, and immune tissues. It appears to play a very important regulatory role in the secretion of hormones related to reproductive functions and response to stress.

So How Much Coffee Should I Drink?
A standard dose for most people starting off to use CBD is 10 - 25 mg. Since we infuse our coffee capsules with 6 mg of CBD and our Drip Through Filter bags with 9 mg of CBD isolate this will give you a very good idea of how much you are using.
So... start with one cup and go from there. Some people use our products throughout the day if they would like or need more CBD in their systems, some get what they are looking for with a single cup to start the day comfortably at home.
Talk with your medical care provider if you are unsure about CBD dosages. They can help you figure out exactly how much CBD isolate you should be taking relative to your goals, weight, and other varying factors. It goes without saying that you don’t want to take too much.
What are the current laws governing CBD in the UK?
Although it is legal to buy Hemp and Cannabis derived products in the UK (As long as it has less than 0.2% THC) it still remains illegal to grow Hemp/Cannabis regardless of its Cannabinoid content without a license and permission from the UK Home Office.
Since the January 2017 decision, the law regarding CBD has been that in order to sell it in the UK legally you either need to be a licensed medical distributor, a designation which can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to acquire or the other option is to trade CBD as a food/nutritional supplement.
CBD isn’t classified as a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, it isn’t in the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 either. As long as no medical claims are made and it is clearly marketed as a food supplement, then it is legal to possess, buy and sell.
Drug Testing?
The CBD Isolate that we use contains 0% THC which is the illegal compound in levels above 0.2%
This process takes out all of the terpenes, which are responsible for scent, flavour and more. Additionally, chromatography separates out the unwanted cannabinoids such as the most commonly known psychoactive one, THC. Last but not least, this process removes all plant matter.
