Black Cold Brew: Ethiopian Coffee With a 10mg Lift

Subculture Black Cold Brew is specialty-grade Ethiopian Arabica, cold-extracted for a full 24 hours and infused with 10mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC grown on our own Colorado farm. No sugar. No dairy. No syrup finish — just clean, serious coffee carrying a smooth, clear-headed lift. It's the same can we pour behind the bar at our South Florida venues, now shipping nationwide.

What's Actually in the Can

Ingredients: Cold Brew Coffee (Water, Coffee), Naturally Derived THC from Hemp. That's the whole list.

Per can: 12 fl. oz. (340ml) — 10mg Delta-9 THC, 250mg caffeine, 5 calories, 0g sugar. This is the strongest coffee of our three; the two lattes run 200mg. For scale, the FDA puts 400mg a day as the general ceiling for healthy adults, so treat a can as two real cups.

Pack size: twelve cans. Diet: vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and sugar-free.

Flavor and Aroma

The nose: deep roasted coffee with a cocoa edge and no sourness — the mark of a long, cold extraction rather than a hot brew flash-chilled after the fact.

The palate: dark chocolate up front, toasted walnut through the middle, and a clean bitter finish that doesn't linger. The infusion is invisible; there's no grassy hemp note to drink around.

The body: smooth and notably low-acid. Cold extraction pulls far less acid out of the bean than hot water does, which is why this drinks easy black and sits well on an empty stomach.

What to Expect

Onset: the caffeine goes to work within minutes; the Delta-9 arrives around the fifteen-minute mark. Considerably faster than a gummy, because emulsified THC absorbs earlier in the process than an edible does.

Mid-session: clear-headed and sociable. The coffee keeps you switched on while the THC takes the edge off the jitter — awake and sharp rather than wired. That balance is the entire reason this can exists.

Later: holds for roughly two hours, then tapers off without a hard landing. Short enough to have one after lunch and be clear by evening.

Best for: mornings, a drive-free workday, creative afternoons, and anyone who takes their coffee black and wants it to do a little more.

How Much Should You Drink?

10mg is a full serving, not a sipper's dose. If you're new to THC drinks, pour half the can over ice, give it 30 minutes, and decide from there. Never stack a second can inside that first hour — beverages come on faster than edibles and it's easy to get ahead of yourself.

Don't mix it with alcohol, and don't drive after one. Serve cold, straight from the fridge. It also makes a genuinely good espresso martini base if you're building drinks at home.

Farm to Can

The Delta-9 in every can comes from hemp we grow ourselves in Colorado — not bulk distillate bought off a broker. You can read how we cultivate our hemp, and every batch we produce is third-party tested with results posted publicly on our COA page. Subculture started as a coffee company and got infused later, which is the right order to do it in — the coffee has to be good enough to drink without the THC.

Black Cold Brew in the Diesel Hemp Collection

Black Cold Brew is the unsweetened end of the Subculture THC coffee lineup. The Oat Milk Latte is the creamy counterpart at 200mg caffeine, and the Hazelnut Latte adds toasted hazelnut over the same oat base. Not a coffee drinker? Our Delta-9 gummies carry the same 10mg dose without the caffeine. See everything in THC drinks.

Is Subculture THC Coffee Federally Compliant?

Yes. It's hemp-derived and contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, which makes it compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill. Individual states set their own rules on hemp beverages, so check yours before ordering — we keep a state-by-state guide current. Third-party lab tested. You must be 21+ to purchase.

Will THC Coffee Show Up on a Drug Screen?

Yes, assume it will. This contains real Delta-9 THC, and screens look for THC metabolites regardless of source. If you're subject to workplace screening, don't chance it — drink a regular cold brew instead.

How to Store It

Refrigerate for best flavor; cold brew is built to be served cold. Keep cans away from direct sunlight and heat, which degrade both the THC and the taste. Unopened cans keep for months. Once opened, finish within a day. Always store where kids and pets can't reach.

Do You Sell Wholesale?

We do — cafes, bottle shops, dispensaries and bars. Start with our wholesale application.
