Pumpkin Spice Latte – CBD Edition

Pumpkin spice is the ultimate flavor of fall. As Eliza Cross, author of Pumpkin It Up notes, pumpkin spice encompasses the warmth and coziness of the holidays and being home. These associations have led to the growing popularity of pumpkin-spice flavored products, particularly the Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

So why not make the pumpkin spice latte even more cozy and relaxing by adding CBD? CBD chef Carylann Principal puts a new spin on this seasonal favorite that will make you feel your fall-best.
