CBD Oil. Medium Strength,
Natural Flavour
by CBD HUB UK
Next up I tried the cool mint flavoured 15
percent CBD Oil, this time with a pipette.
Lift the lid and there’s an instant waft of
peppermint and spearmint. So many brands
are masking the bitterness of hemp and
CBD with menthol flavours and I have
sampled a few, but CBD Hub do this really
well. Again, they’ve masked some of the
harsh aftertaste we associate with tinctures,
but the mint isn’t overbearing. There’s
nothing worse than tasting something you
know could have been better executed, so
I’m happy CBD Hub have put the effort in
here. It’s worth mentioning too that CBD
Hub UK use GM-free CBD oil across their
product range. Plus their oils have been
filtered at least three times to achieve what
they call a ‘Golden CBD’ standard.
Last but not least, I used a rather different
oil product, again in the form of drops. I
wasn’t expecting this flavour to land on
my desk. In an industry which seems to be
dominated by citrus and menthol, when
I read ‘rosemary and clary sage in extra
virgin avocado oil’ on the label, my interest
was piqued. Full disclosure, I’m not a big
fan of rosemary anything so I was quite
apprehensive. This oil is five percent CBD,
and in comparison with the other CBD Hub
samples I tried this time around, I didn’t
get much of an effect from this.
That said, I would highly recommend the
sod mint spray and cool mint drops to
anyone who likes natural products that
aren’t full of artificial ingredients. CBD Hub
have also done well to include precise
instructions for how to use each of their
products, perhaps due to the individuality
of CBD and how people take it.
Mouth Spray and Oil

spray top. Spray tops are becoming more
and more popular as an alternative to
pipettes.
What I also liked is that the amount of
CBD the user receives per spray is listed
on the bottle - in my case this contained
1.5mg per spray. I think this is a policy
more brands should adopt in controlled
dosages, instead of the consumer having
to work the math out. It certainly makes for
ease of finding the right amount to take.
I really enjoyed using the spray — I can see
why this flavour combination has grown so
popular and thankfully, CBD Hub haven’t
gone down the chewing gum route with
their mint blends. Instead they’ve used
top of the range essential oils, which
make the oils more akin to expensive
peppermint tea than dental floss.
Full disclosure, I will probably try anything
that comes with a vegan stamp. I’m by
no means vegan, but with society putting
an emphasis on leading a plant-based
lifestyle, then I’m all for ’save the world’
CBD products. Plus I love the emphasis
on having as natural a product as possible.
CBD Hub’s mouth spray and oil drops
have clearly been in development for
some time, judging by the quality. There
is no hemp odour, which is the first thing I
look for in a tincture. The flavours are also
right up my street, again with a focus on
plants and all things natural.
The spray is soft mint flavoured, which
was a refreshing burst of mint without a
lingering toothpaste taste. (Some cheaper
brands have come out with this and it’s just
not good.) The bottle I tried was 400mg
in a 30ml glass bottle, with a convenient
