Review: Mountjoy CBD Sparkling Water (2018)
Weed fever is running wild in California, which is why we have products like Sonoma County-based Mountjoy, a cannabis-infused sparkling water available in various flavors (with no alcohol). Launched late last year, Mountjoy Sparkling originated as an infusion for CBD (the non-psychoactive compound in cannabis), with each 16 oz. bottle containing 10mg of cannabidiol.
Recently, Mountjoy rolled out another version of the product infused with THC, the hard stuff that makes you “high” (each bottle has 10mg of it). If this idea interests you, be sure to check the label closely to see which version you’re getting.
Thoughts on a variety of flavors of both products follow, though the spoiler is this: It’s better perhaps to think of all of these as a liquid cannabis delivery system first, and a beverage second.
Mountjoy CBD Sparkling Water Natural – Less weedy than you’d think. Rather, this product comes off initially like any heavily carbonated water, perhaps with a touch of quinine. In a few seconds, a funky dankness does become clear, lingering for a while on the finish. That said, there’s a gentle sweetness at play that manages to balance the earthy herbaciousness, ultimately making it more balanced and enjoyable than expected. B+
Mountjoy CBD Sparkling Water Orange – Surprisingly pungent with cannabis notes, masked somewhat by the fizziness of the water and, to a lesser extent, a sprinkle or two of peeled orange. Drying, with a bitter finish. C
Mountjoy CBD Sparkling Water Lemon Lime – Not your father’s 7-Up. The lack of any real sweetness gives this a bitter edge, though the lime peel-heavy character is effective at masking any funky notes. B
Mountjoy CBD Sparkling Water Peach – Peach is always a tough flavor, and sure enough in this product has a chemical overtone that just doesn’t feel natural (though it is). What’s there melds poorly with the terpene character, which really lingers. C
Mountjoy CBD Sparkling Water Blackberry – Strong berry aromas dominate, though the palate is more akin to a de-sweetened “purple drink” character. There’s no heavy dankness to speak of, though I can see how this flavor might be polarizing, the drying berry character becoming a bit overwhelming on the finish. B
And now for the THC expressions:
Mountjoy Sparkling Water Cannabis Infused Lemon Lime – A bit more savory, though not particularly pungent with terpene notes. The lemon-lime (here more lemon than lime) is subtle, but present, again with a mild bitterness on the back end. B
Mountjoy Sparkling Water Cannabis Infused Blackberry – Those same berry notes from the CBD version explode into the room when you uncap the bottle, though again it’s quite herbal and sometimes a bit funky. The finish just barely hints at some much-needed sweetness. B
each $55 per 12-pack of 16 oz bottles
You high bruh?
Not a fan. We tried 3 flavors and could barely finish any of them. Flavor wasn’t great, for us (5 people trying them).
If someone drank the CBD sparkling water, will they be positive for cannabis in a drug test?
Kandy – you might read this, regarding trace THC in CBD products. But no one can say for sure. https://www.dixiebotanicals.com/will-fail-drug-test-using-cbd/
I would like to know were you purchase the CBD your putting in this drink.also is it pure CBD ? Whole flower?
Blackberry is the best, though I had the orange today & it was just as enjoyable. I’m going to enjoy ‘Peac(h)e on the beach’ president’s day. Would recommend either version where (depending on legality, soon not to be an issue).
100% Legal zero .03% Hemp based alcohol extraction. You could drink 10 gallons in a month + & pass any thc urine screen (if you’re drinking the cbd version). So much education is LACKING on this matter the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZARON has recommended CANNABIS to be REMOVED from schedule iv of the 1961 drug classification & reaffirmed its 2017 committee research that HEMP is NOT a Scheduled substance.
It depends on how sensitive the test is and how much water you drink. The CBD water is lab tested to have no more than 0.3% THC. The answer to your question is maybe, but not likely.
I’ve tried all the CBD water. If you aren’t use 2 sparkling water, the first few sips might ‘seem funny’. The flavor is there with little ‘hemp flavor’, except natural flavor. The carbonation is there 2 assist it being ‘Fast Acting, 15 minutes or less. Compared to CBD Cure water (illegally advertised as a ‘hangover cure’) @ the same price point with no flavor & no carbonation, Mountjoy is my go 2
This water was found to have no CBD in at at all. Snake oil.
