Willie’s Remedy CBD Coffee ($36)
Before every other out-of-work celeb jumped into the cannabis space, there was the true OG celeb of cannabis, Mr. Willie Neslon. Naturally, Willie and his well-publicized affinity for cannabis led to a line of cannabis, fittingly called “Willie’s Reserve.” But that’s old news. Now the latest trend is CBD, and the famed country music legend is helping pave the way yet again with another namesake cannabis product—coffee!
Dubbed “Willie’s Remedy,” the music star’s latest offering comes sourced from a number of smallholder farms in Columbia’s Santuario region, then infused with certified organic, full-spectrum hemp oil grown and produced in Colorado. Each 8 oz. cup contains 7 mg of hemp CBD, so you might need a few to truly experience its effects. Still, the medium-dark blend has a pleasantly strong aroma topped off with rich flavors of cherry and cocoa, making for a well-balanced coffee that might just be the extra kick you need in your daily pick-me-up. Plus every purchase not only helps fuel that pick-me-up, but also our nation’s struggling independent farming community.
“Hemp production in America was stifled for so long, but it could now make all the difference for small independent farmers,” Nelson told Rolling Stone. Hemp isn’t just good for our farmers and our economy, it’s good for our soil, our environment, and our health.”
Nelson’s wife Annie will be overseeing the Willie’s Remedy brand and plans to offer other products in the coming year, including topicals and confections. “The Willie’s Remedy line is a purposeful departure from Willie’s Reserve,” she said. “It’s not about getting high, but it’s still all about Willie and the benefits we believe cannabis has to offer.”
