CBD Cold Brew
Words by Gigi Hernandez Photos By Shelby Bella
What do you get when you combine passion for design with problem-solving skills, attention to detail and love for cannabis? Arthur Furman is an architect and entrepreneur-turned-founder of one of Austin’s first ever nitro CBD infused cold brews, Sunriser.
The Austin native first stumbled across CBD a couple of years ago during his trip to Portland. “Something about the way it made me feel, so soothing specifically to my anxiousness,” Arthur admits. “[Then] the fact that I started seeing it infused into food and beverages got me infatuated with the idea of combining CBD with coffee.”
After ten years of running his own architecture and design firm, Arthur knew it was time for a change. With the intention of creating a compelling and powerful product, he started devoting time at home to experimenting with different combinations of nitro CBD infused cold brew. Unlike other CBD infused products, Arthur wanted Sunriser to stand for something more than just a novelty. Through this product and potential daily supplement, he also wanted to spread awareness about the health benefits of CBD and how it can mirror and support the regulation of the functions in the body’s biological system that helps regulate mood, sleep, and stress levels.
Sunriser, which is now available for purchase across various states, is brewed from Ethiopian coffee beans and infused with water-soluble CBD powder from Colorado. It carries 30 mg of active CBD per serving, which is slightly more than the average 5-10 mg you can expect to find in many other CBD infused products. Arthur says, “It is very important that, with this product, people are actually getting a feeling, an experience, and a new sensation with every sip.”
Consumers can also find it around Austin, in Quickie Pickie, Royal Blue Grocery, and the likes of these. Central Machine Works even has a full cocktail named after it, containing Sunriser, vodka, coconut and cardamom. One thing is for sure, you won’t find Sunriser in the “hemp” or “specialty” section. Arthur explains, “We want it to be in the cold brew and coffee section, to be seen as something normal and another staple of everyday life. You don’t have to go out of your way to get it.”
Native Knowledge:
After achieving its one year mark as a business, Sunriser is launching Second Wind, a two ounce espresso shot bottle. Lightly sweetened with agave, each bottle of Second Wind will contain about 15 mg of CBD, making it the perfect “after-lunch-pick-me-up.” Learn more about this new launch by following Sunriser on Instagram @sunriser_cbd.
