Kickback Cold Brew Stocks New CBD Matcha in Erewhon Santa Monica

Kickback Cold Brew has recently stocked their line of CBD teas and coffees at Erewhon Market in Santa Monica. Their popular matcha CBD cold brew is available at the store, along with Kickback’s other four flavors. Kickback founder Pierre Real is excited about the new flavor that combines the health benefits of matcha and CBD.

“I’m glad we were able to incorporate both ingredients into one drink, because it’s a healthy combo that our customers really enjoy. Both the flavor and potential benefits can’t be beat,” said Real.   

Matcha and cannabidiol (CBD) are both growing in popularity in the US because of their widely known health benefits, although both have been used for their healing properties for hundreds of years. The health benefits of matcha CBD include everything from antioxidants to stress relieving properties. Matcha powder includes vitamins like vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium. Matcha may have even better health benefits than green tea because it includes the whole tea leaf and is such a concentrated formula. When combined with cannabidiol, the benefits are doubled with additional stress-relieving and relaxation properties. CBD has also been used to help aid a myriad of conditions, including nausea, seizures, and anxiety.

Matcha is made of green tea leaves that have been dried and crushed into a fine powder. It is traditionally from Japan, where ceremonial grade matcha from certain regions is the best in quality. The powder is mixed with water to create matcha tea, or incorporated into lattes, baked goods, ice cream and a variety of other foods for flavoring. Matcha tastes like a concentrated form of green tea, with a mildly sweet and strong flavor. High quality, fresh matcha is a bright green color which has a better taste than duller matcha that can be more bitter.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is extracted from the hemp plant and is also found in smaller amounts in the marijuana plant as well. It is non-psychoactive (read: does not get you high), and is known for its calming benefits that can counteract the effects of THC (the compound in marijuana that does get you ‘high’). CBD is legal in all 50 states, and as more studies are conducted we are discovering the many benefits CBD may have. Many people use cannabidiol to help treat seizures, nerve pain, anxiety, inflammation, headaches and more chronic conditions that are hard to treat with pharmaceuticals.

The easiest way to gain the benefits of CBD and matcha is by drinking Kickback Matcha CBD cold brew. Kickback offers a variety of tea and coffee drinks, including the recently released Matcha’cha flavor. With 20 mg of water-soluble CBD and 70mg of natural caffeine, the matcha CBD Kickback will leave you with a functional chill and none of the caffeine jitters. Kickback uses Japanese ceremonial grade matcha, along with organically extracted CBD to create a high-quality natural beverage that tastes great and is good for your body.
