Orange County CBD BEARS Product Review.

One of the most diverse classes of edibles, gummy CBD products are also the most popular CBD option next to tinctures and vaporizers. The global CBD gummies market was valued at GBP 1.3 billion in 2020, with an annual growth rate of 30.7% and climbing. If that isn’t wild enough, research predicts it reaching GBP 11 billion by 2028.

With such a large market, there is a wide spectrum when it comes to the quality of CBD gummies. Factors like ingredients, CBD extract, coloring agents, and processing techniques can really change the flavour, texture, and overall experience for consumers.

Orange County CBD is a brand that stands out for their commitment to high quality CBD, and their line of gummy edibles represent this award winning brand.

In 2021 These CBD Gummy Bears won the High Times Cannabis Cup (US), continuing their legacy as the most decorated CBD brand in the UK. It’s no surprise that these gummy bears have brought them so much success, because they are truly a treat!

Product overview

Orange County CBD BEARS are made with 16 mg of broad spectrum CBD oil, with each jar containing 400 mg of CBD. It comes in a mixed variety of flavours, including apple, lemon, raspberry, and sour cherry natural flavouring. The vibrant colors are all derived from natural pigmented ingredients such as black carrot, spirulina, and paprika extract.

These gummies go through all of the same rigorous testing to ensure that they meet all quality standards for the UK.

My experience

These are such a fun and vibrant way to incorporate CBD into your daily routine. My first impression when opening the box was how gorgeous the colors were of each candy piece. Many gummies come in a single flavour per package, so getting to choose from a fruity mix of flavours was a nice change.

They have a strong candy-sweet smell and an even more interesting texture. They are super soft and chewy, with a nice crunch from the sugar coating. I would compare them more to a Sour Patch Kids soft chew than your traditional gummy bear texture. This actually made it easier to bite off just a portion of a bear. Dosing was easy to measure, if you only wanted 8mg instead of a full 16 mg CBD.

Pros and Cons

The best parts about these gummies

There is no hint of a ‘planty’ or hemp flavour to them. The flavors pair amazingly with the CBD broad spectrum oil.
Slightly stronger than other gummies, this made it nice to break in half for a subtle effect.
The bear’s soft texture was very satisfying.

Things to be aware of before taking

On a mostly empty stomach, these took a full hour to take effect. This means the high may last longer as it was metabolized a little slower than some other edibles. It’s good to wait a full hour before taking more.
When dosing, a half gummy felt more relaxing, while a whole bear was more energizing and uplifting.
