Denver Cafés CBD-Infused Coffee Might Be the Best Hangover Cure

The ultimate hangover cure has arrived РCarbon Coffee and Habit Doughnut Dispensary are brewing beans a little bit differently. The doughnut, internet-caf̩ hybrid Рwhich is not a marijuana dispensary as the name might suggest Рis now pouring a nitro cold brew coffee infused with CBD oil. The drink combines a high dose of caffeine with a non-psychoactive byproduct of hemp for a cold brew effect like nothing you can buy in an average restaurant.

The infused beans are nothing new to the cannabis market – but the ability to consume on-premise is somewhat of a big deal. Sträva Craft Coffee is currently supplying infused beans for on-site consumption directly to Carbon Coffee for use in its toddy-style, nitrous-charged cold brew coffee. Cayden Nigh – Habit's coffee manager – gave us the lowdown on the new hemp infused java being served off of Platte Street.

CBD is a non-psychoactive byproduct of hemp that has shown to ease pain. The chemical is largely unregulated – leaving Sträva and the folks at Carbon Coffee and Habit Donuts to operate in a legal "grey area" of regulation. The chemical compound CDB (cannabidiol) is a common occurrence in the recreational and medical marijuana market – but it has no federal or state regulation. There is no age limit for consumption of CBD – but the establishment has restricted consumption on premises to guests who are 18 and older. With counseling from the team at Sträva Craft Coffee – Cayden and the Carbon/Habit team have been advised that they are currently not breaking any legal parameters by allowing CBD consumption on-property.

While the infusion takes place off-site – the beans are steeped and charged in-house and poured off of the tap in the café over ice – self-garnished with an eggshell-white generous head which brims to the top of the glass. The cold brew itself is a creamy, chocolate-nutty beverage that is bitter, smooth and easy to finish. The beans offer a rich and deep roast of flavors that are made even more approachable by the addition of a nitrous charge – typically utilized to soften harsh flavor. The buzz hits about halfway through the glass with a combination of uplifting, enlightening and energy focusing. Think of this as an Excedrin of morning beverages – a clean and powerful caffeine boost –supplemented with a calm and focusing dose of CBD cannabinoids.

In addition to the CBD cold brew, Habit Doughnuts and Carbon Coffee will release a nitro-charged Chai tea next week in collaboration with Teakoe – a Denver based company – to offer what will be one of Denver's first nitrogen charged chai tea beverages available on tap. There are no definite plans to infuse CBD into anything else on the menu – but it is not unlikely we will see CBD infused donuts by Chef Andrea Martinez at some point in the future.
