Organic Hemp Coffee is the delightful result of our perfected process of blending USDA-certified organic hemp protein powder with USDA-certified organic fair-trade specialty coffees from South and Central America.
The end result is a delicious, smooth full-flavored low acidity coffee with a nutty aftertaste. Why hemp? It's simple: protein and omegas! Hemp foods are rich in protein and have all 9 essential amino acids.
They also contain omega-3, omega-6, stearidonic acid (SDA), and the rare omega-6 Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). What's so great about GLA? Well, GLA has been shown to help with cholesterol, inflammation, skin and hair health, balancing hormones, and general heart health. Plus if that wasn't enough, hemp foods also contain magnesium, fibre, iron, zinc, and phosphorous.
