CBD-infused drinks are a recent addition to the ever-changing world of alternative beverages. They provide a distinctive combination of refreshment and relaxation without the euphoric effects of alcohol. Two hemp-based drinks, Hank Passion Cassis Ginger and Hank Lemon Ginger, have won silver and bronze prizes, respectively, in their category at the prestigious “World Alcohol Free Awards” in England. This is a huge milestone for the developing business.
HANK: the two brothers’ adventure
Hauts-de-Chanvre’s innovative creators, Frédéric and Louis-André, were the ones who came up with HANK. Their adventure started in 2021 when they took the audacious choice to venture into hemp growing in order to bring their grandparents’ modest farm back to life after they retired. A pioneering effort in France, they painstakingly planted, tended to, and harvested this remarkable plant with enthusiasm and dedication, turning it into wellness products that are 100% natural, 100% French, and environmentally friendly.
HANK is unique among CBD drinks in that it is the only full-spectrum CBD drink that does not contain CBD isolate. This differentiation guarantees an authentic feeling of alleviation and maintains the actual nature of the hemp plant. Furthermore, HANK exhibits exceptional quality and a steadfast commitment to sustainability.
Tasting notes from the judges
Louis-André and Frédéric are proud of the honors their works have received recently in England. The “functional” category of beverages promises an experience that goes beyond simple refreshment. Lou
The judges of the “World Alcohol Free Awards” offered some fascinating perspectives on Hank’s CBD beverages’ sensory experience:
Passion Cassis Ginger: This drink has a lovely, hazy milk-pink hue and entices with creamy strawberry, peach, and nectarine flavors. On the back palate, a funky, bitter/herbal CBD note adds complexity and intrigue.
Lemon Ginger: With notes of lemon, lime custard, and aromatic hemp, this visually striking milky white beverage ends with a hint of bitterness. Ideal for anyone who like functional beverages and wants something energizing and refreshing.
An expanding pattern
Hank’s accomplishment undoubtedly highlights the potential of beverages infused with CBD. It’s important to remember, though, that new brands are entering the European market. This expanding trend is a reflection of both the growing awareness of CBD’s medicinal benefits and the shifting preferences of consumers towards wellness-focused alternatives.
The market for CBD beverages is still growing. Innovation and consumer demand are its main drivers. Hank’s success in this instance highlights the possibilities for hemp-derived beverage products.
