Why CBD Oil?
Our bodies are a self-healing organism. We are brilliantly equipped with natural mechanisms that kill toxic cells, fight infectious agents, repair broken proteins, keep our coronary arteries open and naturally fight the aging process. CBD derived from hemp has been shown to facilitate better health and wellness in our bodies and minds in multiple ways.
Our Story
It all started with a plant…
On a Spring 2018 trip to Peru, while hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, Jason Cohen, Co-founder of Tessera Naturals, was regularly given raw coca leaves by the locals to chew, or consume as a tea, which greatly helped Jason alleviate his symptoms of altitude sickness. Locals also consume coca leaves for a variety of other ailments such as fatigue, nausea, headaches and many others.
Canna-what??
Later that year, on a summer getaway to the mountains of Colorado, Jason and his wife Olga learned about the amazing health benefits and medicinal properties of CBD, short for cannabidiol. This gave Jason a serious case of deja-vu!
Much like the coca leaf, cannabis is a pharmacologically complex plant that has a long history of medicinal use… and just as the coca leaf carries a stigma since it is the raw ingredient used to produce cocaine, CBD can sometimes be misunderstood since it is derived from cannabis, the same plant associated with recreational marijuana.
Olga began regularly using CBD cream to alleviate her chronic knee pain and both Jason and Olga took CBD oil and/or softgel capsules to help with their occasional bouts of insomnia and as a daily general wellness routine.
Unfortunately, they experienced mixed results. The main challenge is that the CBD industry is booming, but still largely unregulated. This has created an influx of cheap, low quality products, multi-level marketers and gimmicks from highly unscrupulous players who are taking advantage of consumers with this “hot new trend”.
Not all CBD is created equal…
Many uncertainties remain about the legality, quality, and safety of this new “miracle cure”. Cannabis plants obtained from China, Eastern Europe or other uncontrolled or unknown sources may be contaminated with various harmful substances such as pesticides, metal particles, molds and bacterias, or added chemicals in order to increase yield, weight or potency such as synthetic cannabinoids.
Jason and Olga were reluctant to continue purchasing products for which they didn’t know the source, purity, extraction process or whether the label was truthful regarding the actual CBD content.
This was unacceptable, so they set out to develop their own products with a vision of becoming the number one trusted resource for those looking for premium quality hemp CBD products without the risks… Tessera Naturals was born!
Our criteria was simple (yet not easy to obtain)…

“We believe that it’s always best to consume products that contain raw ingredients as close to their natural unaltered state as possible.” – Jason Cohen
“Many people are seeking wellness and balance in their lives or are struggling with ailments that cause them stress. We don’t want to add to that stress with uncertainty and mistrust for the products they are purchasing.” – Olga Cohen
What does Tessera mean?
The word tessera refers to a small block of stone or glass used in the creation of a mosaic. Much like a mosaic, the cannabis plant is comprised of at least 113 known cannabinoids, as well as terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids and other naturally occurring compounds. These compounds synergistically work together to produce a range of benefits which is greater than the sum of its individual parts… similar to a beautiful mosaic mural created from small individual tiles of different shapes and colors.
