Devin Jamroz talks about the journey to create SteepFuze and understand the CBD infused coffee market.   The host of this episode is Ari Sherman, co-founder of Evo Hemp.  

SteepFuze was co-founded in 2014 by Devin Jamroz while he was mending herniating discs from a snowboarding accident. A gourmet coffee lover, experienced home-roaster, and advocate of legal, US grown hemp, CBD Coffee was a result of Devin’s self-medicating as a means to end his prescribed pharmaceutical regimen.

About the same time of Devin’s injury, the Agricultural Act of 2014 (The US Farm Bill) was enacted, allowing for state-by-state licensing of Hemp cultivation. CBD, a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp, started receiving national attention for its anecdotally reported pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant qualities.

Devin began experimenting with his own CBD oil tinctures.   The idea of infusing CBD extract into freshly roasted whole coffee beans was born and with the help of co-founder, Ben Glennon, SteepFuze became the early innovator in CBD infused coffee and teas.
