Why New Amsterdam?
There's a story behind the name.
Amsterdam is one of those cities with an identity recognised almost anywhere in the world.
Its canals, architecture, bicycles, nightlife and famously independent attitude have created a culture unlike almost anywhere else in Europe.
And, of course, Amsterdam has developed an internationally recognised relationship with cannabis culture.
That connection helped provide the inspiration for New Amsterdam CBD.
Taking Inspiration — Not Copying It
New Amsterdam wasn't created to imitate an Amsterdam coffeeshop.
The vision is considerably broader.
We wanted to take some of the things we love about Amsterdam — independence, individuality, innovation and its willingness to do things differently — and translate that attitude into a modern UK hemp and cannabinoid brand.
Hence the name:
New Amsterdam. 🇳🇱
Hemp Has Changed
The modern hemp industry looks very different from the one that existed a decade ago.
CBD became internationally recognised.
Then customers began encountering terms including:
CBG
CBN
Terpenes
Full-spectrum CBD
THCA
THCP
HHCP
THCX
Extraction and analytical technologies developed.
Products became more sophisticated.
Consumers became more knowledgeable.
And regulation started trying to keep pace.
More Than Products on Shelves
New Amsterdam wants to capture that changing industry.
We stock selected products from other brands while developing our own New Amsterdam ranges.
But we also want the website to become somewhere people visit to learn.
That's why we're building articles about cannabinoids, hemp, laboratory testing, COAs, UK regulation, edibles, terpenes and industry developments alongside our product ranges.
Welcome to New Amsterdam
A little bit Amsterdam.
A little bit British.
And a whole lot of hemp.
