About the Company: Sensi
Seeds
Sensi Seeds is a cannabis seed bank
company established in 1985 in the Netherlands. It’s currently the world’s
largest cannabis seed bank with more than 500 cannabis varieties. The company
is recognized as a pioneer of the cannabis industry.
Sensi Seeds also has a large focus on hemp through its sister
company HempFlax. As such, it’s not surprising that
Sensi Seeds recently began to offer a standard lineup of CBD products,
including oils, capsules, and e-liquids.
Sensi Seeds is one of the most reputable, experienced cannabis
companies in the world.
The company sources hemp from the
Netherlands, which is harvested using special techniques designed by HempFlax.
The hemp is then extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide — the current
gold-standard for cannabinoid extraction.
All of Sensi Seeds products are
manufactured in the Dutch city of Groningen.
Where Does Sensi Seeds Source
Its Hemp?
Sensi Seeds sources its hemp from the north-east regions of the Netherlands. This organic hemp is harvested by its sister company HempFlax, dried, and extracted.
However, the company does not provide
any certificates to prove that the hemp is organic. We can’t give them too much
flack for this at the moment — as it’s extremely difficult to obtain
official organic certification for hemp in Europe at the moment. Although, we
do hope to see this change in the next few years as it becomes easier to
certify hemp.

1. Tinctures & Oils
A) Sensi Seeds CBD Oil
€ 23.00 – € 55.95
Sensi Seeds CBD Oil 10 – 30 mL
Total CBD: |

Not Listed |
Sensi Seeds’ flagship product is a
full-spectrum CBD oil. It comes in two concentrations: 2.75% and 5%, and two
bottle sizes, 10 mL and 30 mL.
The standout feature of these
tinctures is the use of hemp seed oil rather than MCT oil as the carrier oil to
help your body absorb CBD.
Hemp seed oil is considered a premium
ingredient, which makes sense to include given Sensi’s focus on hemp
cultivation and hemp-derived products. It also helps keep this CBD oil as close
to natural as possible.
B) CBD Coconut Hemp Oil
€24.95 – €39.95
Sensi Seeds CBD Coconut Hemp Oil 250 – 500 mL
Total CBD: |
500 – 1000 mg |
CBD Potency: |
2 mg/mL (10 mg/Serving) |
Cost per mg CBD: |
€ 0.04 – 0.05 |
Extract Type: |
Full-Spectrum |
THC Content: |
<0.2% |
The CBD Coconut Hemp Oil is a unique
take on regular CBD tinctures designed to boost your overall health. Instead of
giving CBD the spotlight, this product combines CBD with larger amounts of two
other natural, healthy, beneficial ingredients — coconut oil and hemp seed oil.
As such, it contains 500 mg or 1000 mg
of pure CBD in a 250 mL or 500 mL bottle, which gives it a relatively low CBD
potency of 2 mg/mL.
This product carves out a unique niche
between standard CBD oils and health food supplements.
2. CBD Capsules
€19.95 — €39.95
Sensi Seeds CBD Capsules 60 Capsules
Total CBD: |
600 – 1200 mg |
Potency: |
10 – 20 mg/Capsule |
Cost per mg CBD: |
€0.03 |
Extract Type : |
Full-Spectrum |
THC Content: |
<0.2% |
Like most CBD brands, Sensi Seeds offers
capsules as an alternative to CBD oil. These capsules contain the same
ingredients as the company’s tinctures — full-spectrum hemp extract mixed with
hemp seed oil.
The company also claims to use
vegan-friendly delayed-release shells to improve the absorption of CBD.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules with one
of three strengths: 10 mg, 15 mg, or 20 mg, so you can choose the potency that
suits you best.
3. CBD E-Liquid
€14.96 – €39.95
Sensi Seeds CBD E-Liquid 10 mL
Total CBD: |
50 – 200 mg |

For those who prefer to vape CBD, Sensi
Seeds offers CBD-infused e-liquid. Unlike its other products, this e-liquid
uses >99% pure CBD (isolate) instead of full-spectrum hemp extract.
It’s mixed with a standard vape juice base
of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). This e-liquid is sold in
10 mL bottles with 50 mg or 200 mg of CBD.
What Does Sensi Seeds Do
Well?
1. Hemp Expertise
With over three decades of experience in
the cannabis sector and a dedicated sister company for hemp (HempFlax), Sensi
Seeds is one of the world leaders in all things hemp.
HempFlax not only pioneered many of the
technologies used to cultivate and process hemp but also continues to offer a
wide range of hemp-based products, including CBD supplements, construction
materials, cosmetics, animal care products, and more.
2. Seed-to-Bottle Oversight
The vast majority of CBD companies
source hemp or even the finished CBD extracts from different businesses. In
stark contrast, Sensi Seeds has complete control over the manufacturing of its
CBD products, starting out with locally-grown Dutch hemp cultivated and
processed by its sister company HempFlax.
3. Great Value
Sensi Seeds offers some of the lowest
prices on the European CBD market, especially considering the quality and great
reputation of the company. You can get CBD for as little as € 0.03–0.04 for one
mg.
Where Could Sensi Seeds
Improve?
1. Third-Party Testing
Despite its amazing reputation, Sensi Seeds
does not provide third-party test results anywhere on its website. Considering
that this is a baseline requirement for any serious CBD brand, we’re quite
puzzled that such an established cannabis company that does so many things
right chooses not to make these tests readily available.
2. Product Options
We respect that Sensi Seeds chose to
stick to only three product CBD product categories, but it would be nice to
have more options for flavor and CBD potency. For example, people who find the
taste of CBD oil too strong would benefit from a flavored CBD tincture, while
those who vape CBD are accustomed to having a variety of flavor options.
Similarly, it would be nice to have more options for CBD strength and bottle
volume.
Safety & Third-Party
Testing
Although Sensi Seeds claims to use
third-party testing, there are no lab test results on its website, which is a
big negative for this company.
Considering the company’s reputation and
direct control over every step of the manufacturing process, we’d be surprised
if any of its products or ingredients are unsafe or misleading.
Nonetheless,
third-party testing provides a layer of safety and trust people have come to
expect from CBD brands.

Final Verdict: One of the
Best European CBD Brands Despite Third-Party Testing Hiccup
We recommend Sensi Seeds as a CBD brand, especially if you’re
located in Europe.
Although the company’s lack of
accessible third-party lab test results is a major drawback, there’s a lot to
like about Sensi Seeds. For one, it’s one of the most established cannabis
brands in the world with over three decades of experience.
Furthermore, it’s one of the world
leaders in hemp cultivation and manufacturing thanks to its sister company
HempFlax. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another company as experienced with
hemp and with as much control over the manufacturing process.
Sensi Seeds grows and processes all of
its hemp in the Netherlands, overseeing its CBD products from seed to bottle.
Also, its CBD products are competitively priced and don’t have any gimmicks.
However, it would be nice to have more
options for flavors, CBD potency, and volume.
In sum, Sensi Seeds is one of the most
reputable and established choices for CBD, as highlighted by thousands of
satisfied customer reviews. But the company could improve by providing
third-party test results on its website and offering more product variations.
