Hop water is sparkling water flavored with hops, usually with no alcohol and no THC. A THC hop water adds THC to that base. Some non-alcoholic THC beers start as real beer that is dealcoholized and then infused. HopTeaHC is a hop-infused tea with hemp-derived THC: 5mg or 10mg per can, paired 1:1 with CBD, and 0% alcohol. Which one fits depends on whether you want something that tastes like beer, a light hoppy sparkle, or hop aroma with a measured THC dose.
How each one is made
Hop water is sparkling water flavored with hops. Typically no grain is used, so there is nothing to ferment into alcohol (Abstrax Hops; Sierra Nevada). It tastes like a floral, hoppy seltzer rather than beer (InsideHook).
THC hop water uses the same sparkling-hop-water idea and adds water-soluble THC. One example is Lagunitas's Hi-Fi Hops, which launched in California dispensaries (Leafly).
Non-alcoholic THC beer is made in more than one way. Some brewers start with real beer, remove the alcohol, then add THC. Barrel Brothers Brewing, for example, made dealcoholized versions of its own beers for a THC line, according to a sponsored brewery feature in Hop Culture. Two Roots Brewing described a similar dealcoholization step in a 2019 interview with West Coaster. Methods, strengths, and any remaining alcohol vary by brand, so read the label.
HopTeaHC is a hop-infused tea. It is not a dealcoholized beer and not a plain hop water. Each can combines hops, tea, hemp-derived THC and CBD, a flavor-matched terpene blend, and Lion's Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps mushroom extracts.

The four HopTeaHC flavors
| Flavor | Tasting notes (OUI's flavor copy) | Our suggestion if you enjoy… |
|---|---|---|
| Pineapple Express | Juicy pineapple and mango, zesty citrus, a subtle earthy finish | Tropical, juicy IPAs |
| Maui Waui | Tropical mango and citrus, a whisper of pine, an herbal, earthy finish | Hazy, fruit-forward styles with some pine |
| Blue Dream | Blueberry into fresh pine and citrus | Piney West Coast hop character with fruit |
| Wedding Cake | Sweet vanilla with hoppy, earthy spice and woody herbal tones | Darker, rounder, spiced flavors |
The four flavors are strain-inspired: the names point to a terpene-matched flavor direction.
Choosing a strength
Each can holds 5mg THC + 5mg CBD or 10mg THC + 10mg CBD. Every 4-pack is a single strength, so choose the pack by the per-can amount you want. If you're new to THC drinks, the 5mg can is the lower amount. OUI's stated onset is typically 10–15 minutes and varies by person, meal, and dose. See 5mg vs. 10mg for a side-by-side, and THC seltzer vs. beer if you're coming from beer.
