No, the CBD used in the products is extracted from whole plant cannabis bred to be high in CBD. It contains a low level of THC, .3%, which is the legal limit for over the counter CBD products. This level of THC is considered non-psychoactive.

The herbs used in the extracts are organic with the exception of Corydalis (in the Ease formula) which is not organic, but sourced from a company that tests all of their herbs for chemicals and pesticides.

I source my herbs from Monterey Bay Spice Company, Mountain Rose Herbs, Starwest Botanicals, Pacific Botanicals and my garden in Santa Cruz, CA. All fresh herbs for the extracts are from Pacific Botanicals or my garden.

For teas with mostly leaves and flowers (infusion): Place 1-3 TBS of herbs to a tea cup or tea ball. Heat 8oz of water to a boil.

I always think that it is best to drink the tea within 1 year of purchase. The extracts should also be used within 1 year of purchase. The products don't "go bad", they will just be fresher if used within the first year. Both the teas and the extracts should be kept away from heat and light to extend the shelf life.
