Note From Chef Carosi
These cannabis green tea white chocolates are not only delicious, come to find out, in moderation they are also considered healthy and good for us. Combining the best quality white chocolate, green tea and cannabis can lead to some truly delightful results.
Aside from its presence in cannabis, phytol can also be found naturally in green teas, that's why matcha, gunpowder green tea and sencha are so calming. Phytol occurs naturally in green tea and exhibits a mild sedative effect. Several cannabis strains with high levels of phytol are Sour Diesel and The Cheese. A few additional terpenes found in chocolate are linalool, myrcene and ocimene.
These luscious low-dose cannabis treats will not last long and are loaded with naturally occurring phytol. They are also bursting with mellowing myrcene and fragrant geraniol to add to that natural dose of phytol. Saying that these chocolates are "super dope" would be putting it mildly. Enjoy the combination and get ready to make more, fast...

Humankind has been using THC for millennia.
Those little, sugar-like crystals are the sticky trichomes that house special chemicals including cannabinoids and terpenes.
Raw cannabis typically contains very little THC. Instead you get non-psychoactive THCA, which is converted into THC.
Cultivators are now breeding cannabis not just for THC, but other cannabinoids such as CBD, THCV, and more.
Getting the most out of cannabis usually requires a bit of guidance and patience.
A lot of people think CBD is medical, and THC is for fun. This is an unfortunate misconception.
THC has a surprising amount of medical benefits.
For some the cannabis high is an unwanted side effect, for others it's the main show.
