What’s brewing on the Canadian cannabis scene? A lot, it seems, beginning with Solei’s new cannabis-infused cold brew teas
Promising “refreshing elevation in every sip,” with flavours like Peach Cranberry and Wildberry Hibiscus, the 355ml, ready-to-drink cold brews from Tilray’s premium cannabis wellness brand, Solei, are non-carbonated and embrace a moderate elevation that’s mildly sweet.
Leaning into cold brew teas, Solei continues to expand its beverage lineup following the success of its first-ever ready-to-drink infused beverage line featuring Mango Passionfruit and Dragonfruit Watermelon Sparkling CBD beverages, along with last year’s initial launch of its hot tea collection, including the beloved Lavender Chamomile CBN tea, and most recent fall tea editions with a spotlight on seasonal classics such as Chai Rooibos, with high CBN content.
Solei’s newly launched cold brew teas are produced with a black tea base and blended with real fruit juice to create a refreshing fizz-free experience. The two new refreshing flavours include:
- Peach Cranberry: Made with refreshing peach and cranberry juice blended with a black tea base and elevated with a 5mg THC and 10mg CBG infusion.
- Wildberry Hibiscus: Wildberry Hibiscus Cold Brew Teas are made with refreshing wild berries and hibiscus juice blended with a black tea base and elevated with a 5mg THC and 10mg CBD infusion.

Their newly formulated oil comes as either CBD:CBG 4:1 Oil with 100 mg/g CBD and 25 mg/g CBG or as CBD:CBN 4:1 Oil, with 100 mg/g CBD and 25 mg/g CBN, with both available in 30ml bottles.

Also launched from Tweed is their new sativa Lemon Meringue Pie flower, served fresh in 28g portions. Derived from the Lemon Skunk and Cookies ‘n’ Cream lineage, it features terpenes a-Pinene, Myrcene and Limonene and boasts lemon, citrus and nutty vanilla aromas. Even better, the Canada-grown, hang-dried cannabis from Kincardine, Ont. comes in with a 23 to 29 per cent THC range and is ideal for those consumers not wanting to compromise quality for quantity.
