ORLANDO – Torch Drinks LLC is making waves in the cannabis industry with the launch of a new line of Delta-9 hemp-infused beverages. With six flavors that prioritize flavor and relaxation, Torch’s seltzers and iced teas are crafted for adults who want a convenient, legal way to experience the calming effects of Delta-9 THC. According to Data Bridge Market Research, this innovation aligns with the growing demand in the U.S. for infused beverages, a category projected to reach half a billion dollars by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%.
The Torch lineup offers three Delta-9 THC Seltzers (Watermelon Limeade, Mango Pineapple, and Strawberry Lemonade) and three Delta-9 THC Iced Teas (Iced Tea Lemonade, Mango Tea Lemonade, and Peach Tea Lemonade). Each 12 oz. can is infused with 10 mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, staying within the federal 0.3% limit for THC by dry weight, in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill.
Chris Sellers, VP of Sales and Marketing for Torch Drinks, highlights the broad accessibility of these beverages. “Many people, including those in retirement communities, are looking for relaxation solutions outside of a recreational dispensary. By staying within federal limits, our seltzers and teas are legally shippable across the United States, making high-quality, hemp-derived products available to consumers nationwide,” Sellers said. He emphasized that the beverages offer a mild euphoric experience, with potential benefits for relaxation, pain relief, and stress management, without the psychoactive impact often associated with THC.
A recent Gallup poll identified rising stress levels and declining sleep among Americans as persistent issues, underscoring the need for functional wellness solutions. Torch Drinks taps into this trend by offering beverages that may provide a sense of calm and relaxation without the stigmas or legal complexities surrounding some cannabis products.
Torch’s move into the Delta-9 space comes as infused beverages gain popularity, particularly among consumers who prefer non-alcoholic options. Torch Drinks offers a product that appeals to a wide range of consumers, including those who are cautious about THC but interested in exploring its mild effects. The beverages are sugar-free, low in calories, gluten-free, and free from GMOs, making them an attractive choice for health-conscious individuals.
According to Sellers, Torch Drinks is raising the bar in the infused beverage sector with a commitment to taste and compliance. “Our technology allows us to elevate flavor profiles, making these drinks not just palatable but genuinely enjoyable,” Sellers noted.
“We are shifting the edible and drinkable THC category from what was once merely acceptable to a new standard of flavor.”
With its entry into the Delta-9 beverage market, Torch Drinks is lighting a path for consumers and retailers eager to tap into a compliant, enjoyable, and flavorful relaxation experience. Torch Drinks’ innovative approach offers consumers a refreshing alternative to alcohol and traditional cannabis products, appealing to adults seeking relaxation without the potential downsides of smoking or drinking alcohol.
Torch Drinks LLC remains dedicated to transparency and compliance. It ensures that all products are derived from legal U.S. hemp and adhere strictly to federal guidelines under the 2018 Farm Bill. The company emphasizes that these beverages are only intended for individuals aged 21 and over, where permitted by local laws.
