5 Cafes to drink CBD coffee in Hong Kong

What is CBD?

 

CBD stands for cannabidiol, an active ingredient in cannabis-derived from the hemp plant. Hemp is often confused with marijuana hence the stigma surrounding CBD. Though coming from the same family, these two plants are very different. 

 

Considered to be non-intoxicating; so individuals will not get high when consuming it, and while the effects may vary from person to person. CBD is said to provide general benefits in moderating one’s stress levels, appetite, sleep, immune function, and more

 

As a result, it’s no wonder that the beauty world and local bar industry have embraced this trend here in Hong Kong by offering CBD skincare products, beers, and now, coffee. So if you’re looking for a caffeine fix that could put your mind at ease, consider trying a CBD-infused beverage offered at one of these cafes and coffee shops compiled by Time Out magazine.

 

Elephant Grounds

 

Based in Wan Chai, any bona fide cafe-hopping enthusiast should be no stranger to Elephant Grounds. Their vast array of food and drink offerings never disappoint, but if you’re feeling curious about CBD, Elephant Grounds gives you the option to add water-soluble CBD to whatever you’re sipping. Be it a green smoothie or a cup of locally-roasted coffee; you can opt to add drops of Life’s liquid CBD to enhance your drink. The liquid mixes well with most beverages and adds a subtle sweetness.

 

Elephant Grounds has four branches that offer all-day dining, including an impressive lineup of cocktails that feature some of the finest java. The Espressotini is a mixture of Belvedere vodka, Kirin whisky, Kahlua and espresso, and can have you buzzing all day and night.
