Inner packaging (1 of 2 bags)

2 of these and 0 smell.  Super stealthy!

I bought 6 grams of dried hemp tea from Star Stvff, a vendor I've known and used many times before.  Their hemp tea is organic and homegrown and, as the photos above show, the quality is much higher than that of branded stuff like Dutch Harvest & Tiger Tea. 

The strains included are Suzy Q and Felina 32, both of which contain < 0.3% THC and varying amounts of CBD.  It's all there on their website.  I paid using Paypal and received my order in 5 business days, which wasn't bad considering the holiday (Easter).  Packaging was extremely stealthy--no smell even once the outer pack was opened.  They kindly included a free pre-roll of hemp flower (Lifter strain) with my order.  Very cool.   😎

There's enough material here for several cups of tea, but I'm choosing to set aside a couple buds to smoke to test the quality.  I make my 1st cup the usual way with just hot water--no decarboxylation.  It tastes about as hempy as expected and has a mellow effect but nothing too noteworthy.  I added a twist of lemon and honey for taste but yeah... the chlorophyll still won.  A bit woodsy & spicy but again:  the taste of "green" overpowers the senses.

Dumped out in a bowl.  Look at them trichs!

Another angle.  💚

After popping a couple of the bigger buds in the ol' one-hitter, I realized I was going about this all wrong.  This stuff is somehow more psychoactive than the "pretty" CBD flower sold online... like closer to actual pot which is weird for Felina 32.  After testing more in the pipe to make sure I'm not imagining things, I decide to decarb the rest in the oven to make proper THC tea because there's def more to this hemp tea than meets the eye.  So I popped the remaining tea in the oven for 30 minutes at 220 F degrees to activate it and used this recipe to prepare a cup. (Holy crapoli, my apartment now reeks of pot!  If the landlady comes up here I'm cooked).  Yeah, be warned:  your space WILL stank if you go this route.   👃🏻♨

I add a splash of full-fat milk & a little pat of butter to the boiling water to extract the goodies, let it steep for about 7 minutes while stirring & strain.  Now for flavoring I add a whole bag of peppermint tea & the juice of half a lemon, which worked better than just a spritz of lemon with honey to cover the "green" taste.  After finishing half a cup of this activated hemp tea I feel numb & nicely buzzed, as if I'd eaten about 5 mg THC and a whoooole bunch of CBD.  I'm honestly more impressed with this than the actual pot I purchased from the same vendor.  This homegrown hemp is also stronger than the pre-roll they threw in for free.  I'm legit surprised.

Freebie!  Lifter strain hemp pre-roll.

I'm giving the hemp tea from Star Stvff a 4.9 of 5 stars for potency, price & shipping stealth/speed.  I had very low expectations as most hemp products have no "oomph" but this is super high quality.  It's a bit harsh when smoked but makes a bomb-ass tea when decarboxylated first.  The tea is about 80% buds with the rest being seeds, stems & leaf material.  And it's organically grown which is hard to find.  6 grams doesn't sound like much but I got 1 small regular cup + 2 big decarbed cups and a (smoked) bowl out of it, with a few flakes leftover to sprinkle on food.  I can't recommend it highly enough.  I'm sure it would do well in a dry herb vape, AND the seeds look plantable if that's your thing.  $25 for the whole shebang, shipping included. 

This was a nice lil' 4/20 suprise after what's been a shitty year thus far.  Cannabis flower review coming soon!
