Functional beverage start-up Ybee Drinks has entered the UK market with its flagship product, a functional iced coffee containing CBD.


The RTD iced coffee’s inclusion of high-quality cold-pressed CBD aims to provide focus for consumers, while increasing mood and helping to reduce anxiety, jitters and brain fog.


According to the start-up, which was founded in 2022, the functional coffee can provide energy that lasts all day long due to the interaction between CBD and coffee, reported to increase caffeine exposure in the body.


It is manufactured in the UK using natural ingredients and is free from artificial flavourings and sweeteners.


Conor D’Arcy, co-founder at Ybee Drinks, said: “It’s taken two years to get here but we were adamant to bring a functional blend, jitter-free iced coffee to the market. We wanted a drink that provided both focus and energy that was a healthier alternative to the current market options.”
