- See the below picture for more details.
- Each batch of tea made must be tested by our third-party CBD lab. A batch refers to a lot which means:
- Every tea must be tested. If the order is for 4 teas with CBD each of the 4 teas must be tested
- Every time the product is order it must be tested. If you order today and tomorrow you order the same tea the tea would be tested twice since it is made in 2 different lots
- The cost is $300 per tea per testing package. This covers:
- Lab testing fees (CBD content, CBD label claim, micros, pesticides, heavy metals), preparing of the sample, cost of materials for sample, shipping of sample to the lab, hosting of COA, creation of QR code, updating current label with latest QR code and physical web address to new COA.
- Price is subject to change without notice
- Must use an FL testing lab to test to FL State standards. Lab in other states does not test to FL State standards.
