Chronic Ice is the nation’s first health beverage brewed with a mixture of hemp seed, green and black tea leaves, and organic sugar cane. It has already caught consumers’ attention in the $18.9 billion natural and organic food and beverage (NOFB) market.

According to Best of Raw Foods, hemp seed contains the perfect balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to protect human health, and might be the single best food for cancer-prevention efforts. Web MD reports that green and black teas have 10 times the amount of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables and points to numerous studies showing the beneficial effects on overall health.

The positive role of tea in promoting health and longevity is also confirmed by John Weisburger, Ph.D., an 82-year-old senior researcher at the Institute for Cancer Prevention in Valhalla, N.Y., who drinks 10 cups daily. “I was the first American researcher to show that tea modifies the metabolism to detoxify harmful chemicals,” says Weisburger.

Chronic Ice antioxidant-rich hemp tea is free of preservatives and energy-sapping high fructose corn syrup. The brew’s cancer-fighting role has been confirmed in tests by oncologists and the beverage is getting good reviews as a refreshing, energizing pickup from notable hip hop artists Lil’ Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and The House.
