The Ultimate CBD & Custom Coffee FAQ: Your Questions Answered

In 2026, coffee is more than just a morning ritual; it’s a tool for wellness and performance. Whether you’re a curious drinker or a business looking to enter the functional beverage space, there’s a lot to navigate. We’ve compiled the top-searched questions from Google along with expert insights into our unique roasting process.

1. What exactly is CBD coffee?

CBD coffee is simply high-quality coffee beans that have been infused with cannabidiol (CBD) extract derived from hemp. At Buddha Beans Coffee, we infuse the beans during the roasting process to ensure the CBD is bonded to the bean, providing a consistent experience in every cup without an oily film.

2. Does CBD coffee get you "high"?

No. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. By law, hemp-derived products must contain less than 0.3% THC. Drinking CBD coffee will not produce the "high" associated with marijuana; instead, most users report feeling a sense of "alert calm."

3. Why would I put CBD in my coffee?

The most common reason people choose CBD-infused coffee is to eliminate the "caffeine jitters." CBD helps smooth out the sharp edges of caffeine, allowing you to enjoy the energy and focus of coffee without the shaking, anxiety, or the dreaded mid-afternoon crash.

4. What is the difference between CBD and CBG in coffee?

While CBD is famous for relaxation and stress relief, CBG (Cannabigerol) is often called the "Mother Cannabinoid." It is trending for its potential to support mental clarity, neuroprotection, and gut health.

• CBD: Think "Calm & Balanced."

• CBG: Think "Focus & Flow."

• At Buddha Beans, we can infuse your custom roast with either, or a specific ratio of both.

5. Will CBD coffee show up on a drug test?

While it is highly unlikely due to the extremely low (or non-existent) THC levels in our extracts, we always recommend caution. If you are subject to strict drug testing, look for "Isolate" or "Broad Spectrum" options, and always check the third-party lab results.

6. Does it taste like hemp or grass?

Not when it’s done right. Poorly made CBD coffee can have a bitter, earthy aftertaste. However, our proprietary infusion process at Buddha Beans Coffee is virtually flavorless. You will only taste the premium notes of the coffee—whether that’s chocolate, citrus, or toasted nuts.

7. How should I brew infused coffee?

You can brew it exactly like regular coffee! Whether you prefer a French Press, Chemex, Aeropress, or a standard drip machine, the infusion remains stable. Just avoid "boiling" the coffee for long periods, as extreme heat over time can degrade cannabinoids.

8. Can I customize the strength of the CBD/CBG?

Yes! One of our specialty services is allowing you to choose the potency. Whether you want a light 10mg "microdose" per serving or a robust 50mg "wellness" dose, we can tailor the infusion to your exact specifications.

9. What is "Toll Roasting" and how does it work?

Toll roasting is a professional service where we roast coffee for you. You don't need to own a roaster or a warehouse. You provide the brand vision (and sometimes the green beans), and we use our industrial equipment and expertise to create the finished product. It’s the fastest way to start your own coffee brand with zero equipment overhead.

10. Can you roast coffee without any hemp infusion?

Absolutely. While we are leaders in the hemp space, we are master roasters first. We provide regular toll roasting services for cafes, restaurants, and private labels that simply want a world-class, non-infused custom roast.

11. Can I use my own coffee beans for roasting?

Yes. If you have a specific relationship with a farm or a particular origin you love, you can ship your green beans to us. We will work with you to find the perfect roast profile (Light, Medium, or Dark) and then either package them as-is or infuse them with your desired cannabinoids.

12. How do I start my own coffee brand with Buddha Beans?

We make it easy to go from idea to retail-ready. We offer "white label" and "private label" services where we handle the roasting, infusion, and even the packaging. You get a premium product that's ready to sell under your own name.
