"When it came to concocting a hemp-infused cold brew coffee, Dan Linstroth, founder of [Kindly Coffee](http://kindlycoffee.com/), tried several recipes before he found the one he liked best. The long-time coffee salesman used a coffee blend that took years to perfect. He tried a variety of hemp oils in varying amounts until he landed on a combination that imparts a “subtle earthy flavor” to his well-tuned palate.

But taste wasn’t the only factor in selecting the right recipe. Linstroth liked the way the addition of 10 milligrams of pure hemp extract made him feel."
