How Much CBD Flower Should You Use for Tea?

Most adults preparing CBD tea typically use between 0.5g and 1g of loose CBD hemp flower per cup. The amount depends on:

• The strength of the strain
• Your desired flavour intensity
• Your personal welfare and wellness goals

Since everyone is different, it's best to start with a smaller serving and adjust based on flavour and preference.

Recommended Serving Sizes

For Mild Flavour

Use approximately 0.3g–0.5g of CBD flower. This provides a lighter, more subtle herbal taste.

For Medium Strength

Use 0.5g–0.8g. This is the most common amount for a balanced CBD tea experience.

For Strong Flavour

Use 1g of CBD flower. Indoor strains often produce a richer, more aromatic brew.

How to Brew CBD Flower Tea

Brewing CBD flower tea is simple and only takes a few minutes:

1. Grind or gently break apart the CBD flower.
2. Add your chosen amount (0.5g–1g) to a tea infuser or filter.
3. Pour hot water over the infuser — but not boiling, to preserve flavour.
4. Steep for 10–15 minutes.
5. Add a fat source (milk, coconut oil, etc.) to support cannabinoid extraction.

This method is widely used by adults looking to create a calming herbal tea infusion.

How Strength Varies Between Strains

CBD flower comes in different grades and growing methods. Each affects flavour and strength:

• Indoor strains: Richer, more aromatic tea, strong terpene profile.
• Greenhouse strains: Balanced flavour and aroma.
• Outdoor strains: Lighter, earthier tea infusions.

If you prefer a stronger cup, indoor strains typically infuse more robustly.

How Often Should You Drink CBD Tea?

This varies from person to person, but many adults enjoy CBD tea:

• In the evening to unwind
• Before bed for relaxation
• During the day for a soothing herbal drink

There is no “right” amount — start small and see what works best for you.

Is CBD Flower Stronger When You Use More?

Using more CBD flower will create a stronger flavour and more aromatic tea. However, more tea leaves does not necessarily mean a significantly stronger effect. It is mostly about taste and aroma intensity.
