The Optimum Way to Drink CBD
By now, you must know we are advocates of CBD. If you don’t, we totally are. Starting as a way to manage a newly found anxiety through the pandemic, it became a pretty crucial part of our daily routine. A year later it still is. We started with CBD infused coffee and oils and then we began experimenting with different forms to find what we liked best and understand how it affected us.
As we started putting together the JOMO CBD Box, we were excited to find and try Edi. A new type of alcohol-free spirit that not only incorporates CBD into the drink, but also includes natural, uplifting active ingredients such as nootropics and ancient adaptogens.
These ingredients not only provide the benefits from CBD, but they help you unwind and trigger feelings of pleasure.
So, what exactly are nootropics and adaptogens?
Nootropics are cognition enhancers and can boost brain performance. Adaptogens are thought to have health benefits including helping to deal with stress. ‘Edi drinkers often say they enjoy a ‘feel-good’ sensation that is both uplifting and relaxing. We recommend you try it for yourself to see how you feel, as our blend affects everyone differently.’
Edi is completely, 100% THC (meaning you won’t get high or experience a psychoactive effect), only two calories per serve and sugar-free with natural, vegan ingredients.
How often can I enjoy a glass of Edi many of our members ask us.
You can enjoy Edi most evenings which will build the effects in your body. Everyone has their own experience and there is 0 chance of a hangover.
You also may have noticed the intriguing cloudy appearance of the liquid. Well my dear reader, we have some insight on this one. Edi use the world’s finest CBD, in its purest, most natural form and the proof of this is in the cloudiness of the liquid. ‘The natural hemp terpenes are derived from essential oils and this is what creates the natural cloudiness. The terpenes are ‘happiest’ in this state and produce a white turbidity.’
Premium gins are often cloudy which signals high juniper oil content - this is similar with Edi.
The JOMO CBD Box showcased ‘The Easy Peach’ which paired 50ml Edi with Cannasa’s Peach and Jasmine Sparkling Drink garnished with Rose Petals. It was delightful.
When asking the Edi team their favourite serves they tell us ‘Hemp is a complex flavour that pairs really well with a variety of ingredients. Why not go herbal with mint or sage, tropical with pineapple or pomegranate, or floral with rose or cherry blossom? If you want to keep it classic, we suggest soda and a zest of orange as it really highlights the help flavours, or paired with Mediterranean tonic water as a great alcohol-free alternative to your G&T moment. The taste and effects are particularly great in the early evening, to take the edge off a busy day. You can chat, relax and repeat without the hangover’.
We also asked one piece of advice from the Edi team as you go through your CBD journey, ‘It’s good to spend time researching the brand and product that you’re thinking of trying. Ensure they’re reputable and adhere to the right industry safety standards. All of our liquids are tested through CBD analytical specialists who carry out analysis to ensure compliance and safety. Check the type of CBD in the product – broad / full spectrum CBD can contain terpenes, flavonoids and THC, which might be restricted in the UK. The CBD isolate we use has a purity of greater or equal to 99.5%. It’s good to know where the company sources their CBD from and ensure it’s sustainable as well. Our CBD is sourced from one of the most reputable suppliers in the industry, TTS Pharma, so we can ensure Edi drinkers receive the highest quality product. This information should be available on their website, if it’s not, it might be best to avoid. CBD is recognised as affecting everyone differently due to subtle differences in our bodies, through to the amount consumed.’
