THCA Tea Extract

No. We don’t use fillers, artificial flavourings, or unnecessary additives. Each blend is crafted to let the natural integrity of the tea and botanicals speak for themselves.

Absolutely YES - Our tea is 100% legal in the UK. Here's exactly why:

The Simple Explanation: Think of THCA like a raw potato and THC like french fries. A raw potato won't taste like fries until you cook it with extremely high heat in oil. Similarly, THCA won't become psychoactive THC until you apply heat through smoking, vaping, or baking. When you steep our tea in hot water, the THCA stays "raw" and completely non-psychoactive.

Legal Foundation:
- Hemp tea is specifically legal under UK law when properly made and labelled
- THCA isolate is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 - the UK government explicitly states this
- Our THC content is well below limits and meets the criteria of an exempted product by definition of regulation 2 of the MDR 2001
- We use legal EU hemp materials with certified <0.2% THC content

Real-World Example: Imagine you bought chamomile tea and lavender extract separately, then mixed them together. That's essentially what we do - we take fully compliant raw materials to create hemp tea using THCA isolate. All ingredients are perfectly legal in their own right, and they remain entirely lawful when combined for intended use as our THCA Hash Tea.

Compare to CBD Products: Just like CBD sold in UK shops, our tea utilises THCA sourced from compliant hemp plants. The only difference is we use THCA and combine it with naturally occurring CBD - both are perfectly legal when properly sourced and formulated.

Bottom Line: Our tea is as legal as any CBD product you can buy in high street stores and supermarkets. We've worked with specialist cannabis lawyers for nearly 2 years to ensure complete compliance with UK law.

Our Legal Team - Going Above and Beyond: We don't just have "a lawyer" - we have an entire legal compliance team because we take this seriously:

Robert Jappie - Our Lead Solicitor: Robert Jappie is our dedicated cannabis and hemp law specialist. He's guided us through every aspect of UK cannabis regulation, from product formulation to marketing compliance. Robert Jappie specialises specifically in this complex area of law and has helped numerous cannabis businesses navigate UK regulations successfully.

Specialist Cannabis Barristers: We work with barristers who focus exclusively on UK drug legislation and cannabis commerce. These aren't general lawyers - they're experts who understand the intricate details of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, novel food regulations, and how they apply to modern cannabinoid products.

Why We Invested So Heavily in Legal Expertise: Cannabis law in the UK is complicated, old, broad and vague. What's legal and what isn't often comes down to very specific details, which can sometimes be marred by contradictions or even personal interpretations. That's why we've invested significant time and money into getting it absolutely right from day one.

Real-World Comparison: Think about how major high street CBD brands operate legally in the UK. They don't just hope for the best - they have specialist legal teams ensuring every product, every claim, and every marketing message is fully compliant. We've followed exactly the same approach.

Regulatory Monitoring: Our legal team actively monitors any changes in UK cannabis law. If anything changes that could affect our product, we'll know immediately and can adapt accordingly. This is why working with specialists such as Robert Jappie matter - general lawyers wouldn't catch these nuanced regulatory developments.

The Investment: Quality legal advice isn't cheap, but we've invested extensively in legal compliance because customer safety and legal certainty are worth every penny. When you buy our tea, you're buying the confidence that comes from professional-grade legal due diligence.

What This Means for You: You can purchase and use our tea with complete confidence.

Note: We do advise discernment when carrying our products in public due to a lack of understanding from UK Authorities. We at TKO Lab, do not accept any responsibility for any potential legal complications or proceedings as a result of carrying or using our products in public. Please be mindful of these things when purchasing.

Team TKO Lab

TKO Lab products are designed for simple, responsible preparation as part of a calm tea ritual.

Each blend and extract has been developed for use with hot water only - never for combustion, vaping, or baking. This ensures the compounds remain non-psychoactive and fully compliant under UK law.

THCA Hash Tea
Our THCA Hash Tea is crafted for gentle brewing - a modern approach to an ancient ritual.

To prepare, simply:
- Boil fresh water and allow it to cool slightly.
- Add a small portion of the THCA Hash Tea to your cup or teapot, place the product into a strainer or tea bag, we provide disposable tea bags with your first order.
- Steep for 4–5 minutes, allowing the natural hemp aromatics to release.
- Strain, then enjoy your tea as is - naturally smooth, aromatic, and non-psychoactive.

This brewing process preserves THCA in its original acidic form rather than converting it into THC, which would require far higher temperatures. By following the brewing instructions provided, you maintain the product’s lawful, non-psychoactive profile and retain its natural botanical complexity.

TKO Lab Tea Extract
The TKO Lab Tea Extract is designed to complement your regular tea or herbal blend, adding an extra layer of THCA and naturally occurring cannabinoids for those who wish to enhance their daily ritual.

To prepare, simply:
- Add a small amount of TKO Lab Tea Extract to your disposable tea bag
- Insert in cup and brew your chosen tea as usual
- Stir gently

Enjoy warm, allowing the natural aromas and flavours to develop.

Each extract is formulated for water-based preparation only and should never be exposed to direct flame or high heat. When used correctly, it remains non-psychoactive, entirely lawful in the UK, and an easy way to integrate THCA into your day.

Important Note on Responsible Use:
All TKO Lab products are intended solely for brewing and beverage preparation purposes only. They are not designed for combustion or vaping, as excessive heat can convert THCA into THC, a controlled Class B substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. By using the product as advised, you preserve its non-psychoactive nature and stay within the boundaries of UK law.

For best results, store your tea or extract in a fridge and always follow the preparation guidance printed on the packaging.

No - THCA Hash Tea will not make you high when used as directed. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a raw, non-psychoactive compound found naturally in hemp. It only becomes psychoactive when heated to high temperatures, such as through smoking, vaping, or baking - a process called decarboxylation.

When prepared as tea, the water temperature remains well below the threshold required for this chemical conversion. As a result, the THCA remains in its natural state, meaning your tea stays non-intoxicating, non-psychoactive, and fully compliant under UK law.

At TKO Lab, we’ve found a way to make this possible - unlocking the potential wellness benefits of THCA in a simple, lawful format. By creating a tea, we’ve created an accessible, compliant way to experience the plant’s natural complexity and therapeutic properties without altering its original character.

ATTENTION: PROFESSIONAL AND TESTED ATHLETES

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ARE SUBJECT TO DRUG TESTING

TKO Labs expressly prohibits the use of The Hayemaker THCA HASH tea by any athlete subject to drug testing protocols, including but not limited to:

- WADA-tested athletes (Olympic, Paralympic, international competition)
- Professional sports leagues
- Military personnel
- Any individual subject to workplace drug screening

WHY THIS PRODUCT IS PROHIBITED FOR TESTED ATHLETES:
This product contains THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), which has just been explicitly banned by WADA under their 2025 Prohibited List. THCA falls under the category of prohibited natural cannabinoids with zero tolerance - meaning any detectable amount will result in a positive drug test.

CRITICAL FACTS:
- THCA is prohibited by WADA and most anti-doping agencies
- There is NO safe threshold for THCA consumption
- Athletes are subject to strict liability - you are responsible for what's in your system regardless of how it got there
- This prohibition applies regardless of consumption method (tea, smoking, vaping, edibles)
- The non-psychoactive nature of tea consumption is irrelevant to anti-doping rules

TKO LAB'S POSITION: If you are an athlete who is subject to drug testing, we strictly advise that you do not purchase or use this product. This product is designed exclusively for general wellness consumers who are not subject to drug testing protocols.

If you are uncertain about your testing status, consult with your sport's governing body, team physician, or anti-doping organisation before considering any cannabinoid products.

This warning supersedes any other product information or third-party recommendations.
