New Jersey — April 4, 2025 — EGOT winner, entrepreneur and cannabis advocate, Whoopi Goldberg is once again blazing trails in the cannabis industry with the debut of Whoop-Tea—a 10mg THC-infused half tea, half lemonade mocktail—created in partnership with Pure Genesis, a leading Black woman-owned cannabis and hemp company with licenses in New Jersey, New York and Florida. Whoop-Tea is Goldberg’s latest venture in the cannabis space, building upon the success of her brands Whoopi & Maya and Whoop Fam Brands. This newest launch brings her passion for wellness, plant medicine, and elevated experiences to the forefront of the cannabis beverage revolution.
“I’ve always believed in the power of cannabis—not just for wellness, but for joy,” said Whoopi Goldberg. “Whoop-Tea is fun, it’s refreshing, and it’s for people who want to relax, laugh, and enjoy themselves without the side effects of alcohol.”
With a crisp blend of iced tea and lemonade and a perfectly balanced 10mg dose of hemp-derived THC, Whoop-Tea is designed for a new kind of social hour—one rooted in relaxation, connection, and culture. It’s one of four beverages in the Genesis line and represents a major milestone for both Goldberg and Pure Genesis in their mission to redefine the cannabis experience.
“This is more than a product—it’s a statement,” said Faye Coleman, co-founder and CEO of Pure Genesis. “Whoop-Tea represents a bold new direction for the cannabis industry—where celebrity, wellness, and purpose align. We’re proud to stand beside Whoopi to launch something this impactful.”
The official launch event for Whoop-Tea will take place on June 5, 2025, in New York City, featuring industry leaders, tastemakers, and an exclusive guest list celebrating the arrival of a drink that’s poised to shift the culture.
With cannabis beverages rapidly gaining ground as the next big thing in functional wellness, Whoop-Tea is projected to generate millions in revenue and open doors for more inclusive, mindful, and celebratory ways to experience cannabis.
