Blood Orange Cardamom by CANN

91 Points

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed tasting Cann since the company’s launch in 2018. As the leader and pioneer of the low-dose beverage category, Cann continues to impress with their tasty beverages, beautiful packaging, and clever marketing. Their approachable products are ideal for the canna-curious, or anyone looking for a light buzz and pleasurable high!

For this review, I tasted the Cann Blood Orange Cardamom in an 8-ounce can (this is my favorite Cann flavor). I love the visual design of this product, which subtly highlights the beverage’s flavors and is packed with vital information to ensure a delightful cannabis experience.

When opened, a melody of bright aromas greets the nose, consisting of fresh blood oranges, citrus rind, sweet citrus blossoms, and baking spice. There’s also a slight hint of vanilla bean, which harmoniously intertwines with the spice notes. On the palate, the citrus notes make the tongue salivate, with additional fresh orange notes accompanied by a slight hint of sweetness (from agave nectar) and cardamom. While not very complex, the aromas and flavors balance each other. This is a refreshing drink, perfect during fall or winter when we celebrate these bolder flavors.

I also love the carbonation of this product - very bubbly! It livens up the flavor profile and adds a sense of freshness. Compared to some other cannabis beverages, Cann’s carbonation is notable (at least for this particular product). The cannabis emulsion that's used to infuse the product is also very neutral - no bitter, chalky, or off-putting characteristics (I also do not perceive any cannabis notes).

Cann’s Blood Orange Cardamom contains only 30 calories per 8-ounce can; however, the added agave nectar (6 grams of added sugar) adds sweetness. But don’t fret! This beverage is still on the drier side.

This drink contains 2 mg THC and 4 mg CBD (I love this low-dose ratio) and it is truly a social tonic! I very much enjoy consuming Cann’s products during events, and due to the beverage’s low-dose nature, I can often drink more than one which is a bonus. I love the uplifting and social effects of this beverage.

🍽️: Pair Cann’s Blood Orange Cardamom drink with brunch items! I’m thinking of eggs benedict, French toast, fried chicken and waffles, or a fresh winter citrus salad. Enjoy!
