Minerco’s The Herbal Collection™ Reveals CB Tea
CB Tea, by The Herbal Collection™, Utilizes a Proprietary Formula of Healthful Cannabidiol (CBD) and Herbal Extracts
HOUSTON, TX – November 17, 2015 -- Minerco, Inc. (OTC: MINE), parent company of Athena Brands, Inc., announced its The Herbal Collection™ (“THC”) brand has finalized its proprietary formulation for its lineup of cannabis-based CB Teas. Minerco’s CB Teas, sub-branded under the THC brand, will initially launch a trio of ready to drink (RTD) teas enhanced with micellized Cannabidiol (CBD) and natural herbal extracts.
CB Teas contain the highest quality natural teas and sweeteners combined with a propriety blend of CBD, valerian root, skullcap, cinnamon, orange and clove to create a relaxing, healthful and refreshing experience. The collection of CB Teas will contain 5 milligrams of micellized high grade CBD (the equivalent of over 25 milligrams of non-micellized CBD) sourced from CBD dominant hemp plants and will be initially available in Green Tea, Black Tea and Green Tea & Lemonade varieties.
The final 23.5 oz. packaging and nutritional panel are being reviewed for regulatory and legal compliance, but the proposed packaging concept is available on The Herbal Collection’s social media pages at:

The proven and patent protected micellization technology ensures the highest bio availability and absorption rates of the CBD to the consumer. This state of the art micellization technology combined with the widely accepted health benefits of CBD is expected to strategically position Minerco’s CB Tea within the category at very competitive pricing. The retail market testing will be handled through Minerco’s vertically integrated Southern California infrastructure spearheaded by its majority owned distributor, Avanzar Sales and Distribution.
“Our new CB Tea, by The Herbal Collection, is a scientifically healthful and refreshing product legally delivering the many benefits of cannabis based CBD. Owning our own distributor provided us with a unique advantage to see emerging products and trends, as well as see the concepts that don’t quite make the grade. After watching the category for the past 2 years, we feel we have created the optimum CBD infused product which is advanced in science, competitive in price and delicious in taste,” said V. Scott Vanis, Minerco's Chairman and CEO. “In addition to our 23.5 oz. CB Teas, we are working to perfect our proprietary blend of micellized CBD and herbal extracts into a 2.5 oz. RTD shot for on-the-go consumers, and the shot format will also be more cost effective for direct to consumer sales including online customers.”

About CBD
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound in cannabis that has shown to offer beneficial medical effects to the body without the psychoactive effects associated with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Scientific and clinical research, much of it sponsored by the US government, underscores CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, paranoia and other neurological disorders. CBD has demonstrable neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, and its anti-cancer properties are currently being investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere.
About Micellization
Micelles are the atom sized stable aggregates of surfactant molecules, which form spontaneously in surfactant solutions. Put simply: Micellization is the scientific process of coating a particle in a surfactant solution to yield a higher potency at delivery.
