The Hip Pop CBD Kombucha is being launched by the brand in the UK to provide consumers with a way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of the probiotic tea along with the relaxing properties of CBD.
The teas come in three flavor options including Cherry & Blackberry, Passionfruit & Guava and Blood Orange & Grapefruit, and are each fortified with one-billion life bacteria along with 20mg of active CBD. The product is available now for consumers in the UK to purchase directly from the brand's website, while availability at Suma Wholefoods will start in April.
Co-Founder Emma Thackray commented on the new Hip Pop CBD Kombucha saying, "Our CBD kombucha cans contain all the benefits of our original kombucha, with the added bonus of 100% plant-based CBD which is novel foods compliant and pure 100% cannabidiol. The public are becoming increasingly aware of the calming benefits of CBD, but there’s a growing body of evidence showing the wider potential for CBD including benefits to gut health and that’s why this feels like a logical next step for the brand."
