About the Company: Flower Power Coffee Co.
Flower Power Coffee
Co. is a highly specialized CBD supplier focused entirely on CBD-infused coffee
beans. The company recently announced plans to introduce CBD edibles but has
not yet added them to its product line.
Flower Power Coffee
Co.is based out of both the United Kingdom (UK) and North America (NA).
Depending on where you live, the prices, shipping costs, products, and hemp
source may vary.
An important point to
note is that Flower Power Coffee Co. is owned and operated by a larger UK-based
parent corporation called We Are CBD. In addition to CBD coffee, We Are CBD
sells vape products, oils, gummies, CBD coffee machines, and even offers
white-labeling services.
Lastly, Flower Power
Coffee Co. UK is CannaPro
certified. CannaPro is the UK’s trade association for cannabis
products — its purpose is to guide businesses through the UK’s often
complicated cannabis laws and ensure that companies follow the strict
regulations in place for cannabis products.
Unfortunately, there’s
very little information available about the North American store’s policies or
procedures. As a branch of Flower Power Coffee Co., we hope that the North
American products are held to the same standard as the UK store.
Where Does Flower Power Coffee Co. Source Its Hemp?
Depending on whether
you purchase from the UK or NA store, the hemp comes from different places.
The UK store sources
its hemp from an unspecified European country. European hemp is generally seen
as high-quality but Flower Power Coffee Co. doesn’t tell us if it’s organic or
what country it’s grown in.
A representative from
the NA branch of Flower Power Coffee Co. tells us that its hemp comes from
Colorado farms. However, like the UK offices, it couldn’t give us more
information than the general location of its farms. The most likely reason for
this is that the company sources hemp from open markets, or another
white-labeling company and therefore doesn’t know where the hemp comes from
directly.
What Does Flower Power Coffee Co. Sell?
Currently, Flower
Power Coffee Co. only sells CBD-infused coffee beans but the company plans to
introduce edibles and snacks in the near future.
All of Flower Power
Coffee Co. products are made 99.99% pure CBD isolate — which means there’s no
need to worry about the intoxicating effects of THC. This also makes their
products legal in many countries around the world. In Europe the legal THC
limit is 0.2%, while North America and South America place the legal limit at
0.3% — Flower Power Coffee Co. products are below the threshold in all of these
regions.
Depending on whether
you shop with the North American store or the UK store, they have slightly
different product offerings.
What Does Flower Power Coffee Co Do Well?
1.
International Offices
Flower Power Coffee
Co. has headquarters in UK and NA — its NA offices are located in New York,
United States while its UK offices can be found in Lancashire, England.
Having offices on two
continents is a major advantage for customers for several reasons. First of
all, it means that the company may be operating in a similar time zone as its
customers — which makes it much easier to get in touch with Flower Power Coffee
Co.
It also means shipping times and costs can be reduced significantly. As long as you live in North America or Europe there’s no need for your CBD coffee to cross oceans, which means you’ll get your products faster. For countries outside these regions, you’ll likely still need to pay extra for shipping.
Lastly, you can
purchase your CBD coffee multiple currencies — US dollars, Euro, and British
sterling pounds.
2. Solid Selection of CBD Coffee
If you’re looking
specifically for CBD Coffee, Flower Power Coffee Co. has one of the better
selections we’ve seen in our research. This is especially true for customers in
the UK and Ireland — with multiple blends and bag sizes, Flower Power Coffee
Co. allows you to find the bag that suits your preferences best.
North American
customers have a smaller selection, but it’s still one of the better options in
regard to CBD coffee. The vast majority of CBD companies don’t even sell CBD
coffee — with three different blends, Flower Power Coffee Co. still beats most
of the competition.
3. CannaPro Certified
As we mentioned above, CannaPro is the UK’s trade association for cannabis products. In order to get certified by CannaPro, the company’s products, trading standards, marketing, and conduct are review to ensure that they meet the laws and regulations in place.
Flower Power Coffee
Co. is one of the few companies certified by CannaPro — which means that its
currently meeting all of the strict regulations for cannabis products in the
UK.
Areas In Need of Improvement
1. Discrepancies Between NA & UK Stores
Although it’s a huge
bonus that Flower Power Coffee Co has headquarters on two continents, it’s a
little disappointing to see that the product offerings vary so much between the
two. The NA store seems to be a bit of an afterthought with less than half of the
products offered by the UK stores.
The company could
significantly improve in this regard by selling a few flagship products, in
addition to unique local items. This would help create a more unified image of
the brand and ensure customers can find the products they’re looking for.
During the process of
writing this review, it took some deep diving into the parent company
(WeAreCBD), Flower Power Coffee Co’s
multiple websites, Facebook pages, and LinkedIn profiles to find the
information we were looking for.
Making it difficult
to find information that should be widely available makes it somewhat difficult
to put our full trust in Flower Power Coffee Co — one of our major factors when
evaluating CBD suppliers is transparency.
Flower Power Coffee
Co needs to develop a more consistent brand identity and ensure that its
customers can learn more about the company’s practices, products, and policies
with ease.
Safety
& Third-Party Testing Flower Power Coffee Co
As we mentioned
above, this is one area that Flower Power Coffee Co can significantly improve.
As it stands, the company makes no mention of its hemp source anywhere on the
website (we had to reach out to the company directly) and doesn’t offer any third-party
test results.
Flower Power Coffee
Co sources its hemp from reputable regions in the world but if it wants to gain
the trust and support of its customers, it’ll need to provide more information
about its hemp and products in general.
Flower Power Coffee Co’s Shipping & Return
Policy
Flower Power Coffee
Co offers a 30-day return policy for unused and unopened products only.
Currently, the NA store only ships within the Continental United States —
customers in Alaska and Hawaii need to contact the company directly to place an
order.
The UK store ships only to Ireland and the United Kingdom. Any orders over £20 receive free shipping.
Final Verdict: One of The Only Sources of
CBD Coffee — Needs a More Unified Brand Image
If you’re in the
market for CBD coffee, Flower Power Coffee Co is only of the only suppliers
with multiple coffee blends and bag sizes. There are definitely other companies
that sell CBD coffee — but you’ll be lucky if they carry more than one option.
Flower Power Coffee
Co sources its beans from several regions around the world well-known for the
quality of their coffee beans. Some of these places include Brazil and
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Honduras.
We’d like to see Flower Power Coffee Co. develop a stronger brand identity and offer more information about it products — in the quickly growing CBD industry, transparency and consistency are crucial for long term success and gaining customers’ trust.
Flower Power Coffee
Co has a solid selection of CBD coffees for customers who’d like an easy way to
get a boost of CBD with their morning coffee. We’d definitely recommend it to
customers in the UK — those of you located in North America may want to
consider another local brand such as Buddha Beans Coffee Co.
