Exploring Tea Leaf, Chamomile & Botanical Blunt Wraps

Blunts are dope. There’s just no getting around it. Blunt wraps burn slower and deliver a smooth, full-bodied flavor compared to the rolling papers used in pre-rolled joints.

And did you know, blunts are the third-most preferred method of consuming cannabis according to recent surveys? That’s pretty wild, especially with the recent decline in tobacco use.

But one thing you won’t find in your local dispensary is a tobacco wrapped cannabis blunt, and the reason is simple: they are prohibited in every legal market due to regulations banning the sale of cannabis and tobacco in a singular product.

So what is a blunt smoker to do?

Well, splitting a Swisher the old-fashioned way and rolling up is always an option. Or you can lean into the hemp wrap pre-rolled blunts that have become the staple blunt option nationwide. Pre-rolled palm leaf blunts made from Tendu and Cordia can also be found on the market, but due to palm leaves often failing tests for heavy metals, pesticides and microbials, they may not be something you reach for.

But what other non-tobacco wraps, cones and pre-rolled blunts are out there?

Look no further, the DaySavers are here to dive into the world of botanical blunt wraps, and the materials might surprise you!

What Are Botanical Blunt Wraps?

Put simply, botanical blunt wraps and cones are tobacco-free wraps made from natural plant materials other than hemp – such as tea leaves, chamomile or goji berry – that are thicker than standard rolling papers and deliver serious notes of flavor and aroma, without overpowering the flower inside.

They have a similar slow-burning, full-bodied smoking experience like tobacco and hemp wraps, but use different plant materials that are quite intriguing and enticing to blunt smokers and the cannabis consumers alike.

One major point to clarify is that true botanical blunt wraps are made using the specific plant matter as described, so don’t get fooled, as many "botanical” wraps can simply be hemp wraps with botanical oils added to the mix.

Tea Leaf Blunt Wraps

The most popular botanical blunt wrap used in pre-rolled blunts, wraps and cones is hands down the tea leaf wrap, made from – you guessed it – tea leaves (though usually combined with other plant fibers).

These tea leaf wraps are made in the same manner as other paper and wraps – pulped, pressed, cut, dried, cured and re-cut to the wrap or cone sizes needed.

Black tea and green tea can be used and add faint hints of tea aroma and a mild flavor profile, with popular additions of chamomile, cocoa and vanilla that also contribute to the wraps flavor and aromatic profile. They’re rich brown, beautiful, unique, and taste, smell and smoke great. They make for a unique experience for traditional blunt smokers and non-tobacco hemp wrap enthusiasts alike.

Goji Berry Blunts

You read that right, a very-berry blunt wrap. Made from all-natural goji berries, these blunt wraps stand out due to their breathtaking color: a rich, natural orange. Goji berry blunt wraps are natural, flavorful and not moisture-sensitive – meaning they don’t dry out or get brittle quickly.

Goji berry wraps are stunning and the only wrap we’ll mention that you can actually see through – kind of. The orange color from the berries create a translucent look that makes these botanical blunt wraps almost glow when the light hits them right.

Chamomile Blunt Wraps

When we explored tea leaf wraps, we mentioned chamomile as a potential add-in material, but can you believe that there are full on blunt wraps and cones made from chamomile flowers? Talk about a blossoming blunt wrap alternative, am I right?

The wraps are beautifully textured and have a light tan color to them. The slight aroma of chamomile is mild, and gives the wrap a smooth and noticeably different taste than tobacco leaf and hemp wrap. It's quite an enjoyable alternative, really, and great to mix into the blunt rotation from time to time.

Cocoa Blunt Cones

So everyone likes chocolate, right? The same cocoa plants that produce chocolate are used to make these dark, aromatic wraps that add familiar notes of chocolate in both flavor and aroma.

Compared to chamomile wraps, cocoa wraps produce bolder flavors and aromas pre- and post-smoke and also tend to be thicker and heavier than other alternative wraps, producing a bolder, slower burn.

Botanical Sage Wraps

If you head down to the corner of calm and tranquil, you just might find the ever-natural sage blunt wrap. Made with real sage and plant fibers, these subtly aromatic wraps are more than common blunt wrap. With centuries of use for its calming effects, you’ll definitely notice the distinct, savory scent and flavor it brings to the table.

Sage compliments flower rather than overpowering it, delivering a mild herbal sweetness while smoking slowly and boldly. Similar to a classic hemp blunt wrap though, sage blunt wraps are moisture sensitive and can dry out over time, so store them carefully and consider a little wrap rehydrating before you roll.

Lavender Wraps for Blunts

Made using plant fibers from one of the most familiar flowers around, lavender blunt wraps deliver a distinctive profile that your senses will recognize right away. Similarly mild in flavor and aroma to other botanical wraps like chamomile, pair this baby with a dank strain high in linalool and you might just turn purple.

Unfortunately though, unlike the goji berry, these lavender wraps are not the same purple as their source flower, but are remarkably similar in color to that of the chamomile bleezy wrap.

Lemongrass Wraps

It might not just be the munchies that have you reaching for some Lemongrass Chicken after partaking in a blunt wrapped in a lemongrass blunt wrap. These wraps use the leaves of the plant as the base for the pulp, producing a botanical wrap that is lighter in body than other non-tobacco blunt wraps, like tea leaf.

The botanical wrap delivers slight hints of citrus but won't interfere with what’s really important: that dank sticky icky inside.

The Questionable Rose Blunt Wrap

The most important factor when it comes to consuming cannabis is safety, and that includes your wrap. Though popular for its beauty and unique appeal, rose wraps are something that we suggest against because of the drawbacks stemming from their popularity as a beautiful botanical.

Roses are primarily cultivated for their appearance, not consumption, which is why they are usually grown using heavy pesticides. That’s okay for enjoying its beauty, but not recommended for combusting and smoking.

Additionally, unlike traditional papermaking that incorporates a refinement process, raw rose petals for blunts don’t receive the same level of treatment, which can also lead to contamination.

But Don’t Forget About the Trusty Hemp Wrap

And look, it’s not technically a “botanical” blunt wrap, but hemp wraps are also made from plants, which is why they are the original non-tobacco wrap alternative. They burn slow and steady and add a robust, earthy flavor that never overpowers your flower, because they’re the same plant.

And as the hemp wrap has evolved, newer innovations like our hybrid hemp wraps have entered the picture, using all the fibers from the hemp wrap to create a durable, brittle-less wrap.

While botanical wraps introduce new materials and flavor profiles, hemp wraps remain the baseline that most alternatives are compared against.

Why are they the go-to non-tobacco blunt alternative? Because they deliver the fuller feel, slower burn and richer smoking experience blunt smokers are looking for without the nicotine of a standard tobacco wrap or leaf. They also offer a smooth, familiar and consistent experience than many botanical wraps offer, which can sometimes produce a harsh or heavy smoke.

For true blunt smokers, that consistency matters just as much as flavor or novelty, and that’s exactly why the only non-tobacco wraps we carry at the moment are hemp wrap and innovative hybrid hemp wrap options.
