Kratom – The sweet treat of The South East

Fresh kratom leaf with sugar in the center

When the natives in South East Asia have a sore throat they will go out in the fields and pick some fresh leaf off of the trees. Placing some sugar in the center and then chew on the leaf. When they chew the leaf the sugar mixes with the fresh leaf  and becomes sort of like a tasty paste. This paste will retain its sweet taste all the way through. This helps relieve sore your throat and makes the day much more bearable. Below we have written a guide to show you how.

Step 1: Pick some fresh leaf off of your tree. Any leaf will do but we recommend using larger leaves as they are easier to work with.

Step 2: Add sugar to the center of your Kratom Leaf

Step 3: Roll up your Fresh Kratom Leaf and enjoy! Chew the leaf for 3-5 min and either spit or swallow.

What are kratom vein colors?

The color of a kratom vein are determined by the content of mitragynine (alkaloids) in the vein. The purpose of producing mitragynan is to protect the tree from insects and animals from eating the leaf. It’s also a stress mechanism. The mitragynan is why the leaf is so bitter and correlates to strength.  This is why more mature leaf is more bitter then fresh leaf.  When kratom leaves mature the alkaloids are sucked back into the tree through the veins. These leaves will look more yellow.

In winter you see mostly white and green with some red. Spring, mostly green, white, some red, with pink starting to show up. In summer, Seed pod are popping up, you see green, white, pink, red, purple. This continues to happens thru Fall. We should note seed pods are best to pick off the tree in Jan – April. Kratom Vein colors usually have its darkest vein color at the exterior of the plant. Getting lighter as you go inward. But is harder to see in summer – fall as all colors are on the tree. Want to know more? The Kratom Bible is also available here on the #kratomAPP

The more alkaloids in the vein. The more red the vein will be. Purple at the high end of alkaloids. White at the low end of alkaloids. It is possible to see all vein colors grow at the same time on the same tree. (pink, red, purple) more near the bottom as that is where they have roots as that’s where most of the nutrients are. Up the tree will be more (greens and whites). They start getting more color variation the larger they get.

Fresh Kratom Leaf and Cuttings Shipping Notice:

Please be aware all orders of fresh leaf ordered after Sunday at 12 pm est will be defaulted to shipping out on the following weeks Monday (excluding holidays).

This is due to fresh leaf needing to be shipped early in the week as USPS is not 100% reliable in all parts of the USA on Saturdays and Sundays. Fresh leaf is good for about 4-7 days in the fridge and requires leaf to be shipped on particular days so that customers can get as much time as possible with their orders.

For example: If you ordered on a Friday, and that order ships on that Friday, we have no guarantee that order will actually move thru USPS over the weekend and you would forgo 2-3 days of that 4-7 possible days.
