Late August in Colorado has a specific feeling. Not quite fall, but not full summer anymore either. The mornings cool down just enough to make you want something warm in your hands — but by the time you're out the door it's shorts weather again.
It's that in-between stretch that usually knocks a Monday routine sideways. You don't want coffee that fires you up too fast, and you don't want something so gentle you spend the first hour dragging. Matcha threads that needle well — steady energy without the spike — but the recipe we've been reaching for lately has one more thing in it.
What Goes Into It
One teaspoon of matcha powder, a couple ounces of hot water (around 175°F, not boiling), a handful of ice, and a splash of oat milk. Then one GoodLeaf CBD + CBG + CBN Honey Stix in place of the regular sweetener.
Sift the matcha into a mug, whisk with the hot water until smooth, pour over ice, add the milk, and squeeze in the honey stix. Stir once. Two minutes from start to finish.
Why the Honey Stix
The GoodLeaf Honey Stix are single-serve straws of real clover honey, each infused with 27mg of CBD, CBG, and CBN isolates. Seven flavors to choose from. We carry them at the shop for $2 each — and they're honestly one of those things people grab a handful of once they try them once.
The practical appeal is that honey is already going into the matcha. You're not adding a separate step. You're just using honey that happens to carry your morning cannabinoid dose. The CBD may support everyday wellness and relaxation, the CBG lends a grounding quality, and the CBN — the cannabinoid most closely associated with calm — helps take the edge off the Monday-morning mental chatter that tends to run a little too loud.
If you already sweeten your matcha, this is a zero-effort habit swap. If you've been looking for a simpler CBD routine, it might be exactly that.
If You Want Even Less Prep
If the matcha routine isn't your thing but you like the idea of a CBD-plus-something morning habit, the CBDfx Morning Capsules are worth knowing about. They pair 30mg of broad-spectrum CBD with CBG, green tea caffeine, and a handful of botanicals — all in a capsule you take with water. Two capsules, done. A 60-count bottle is $70, and a lot of our regulars keep one next to the coffee maker.
