Before harvesting
Even though all Mitragyne Speciosa trees produce kratom leaves, not all leaves are of the same strength. The alkaloid profile, which is responsible for creating the kratom effect, differs per region, season, tree and even time of day. Based on tests and our experience we are able to collect only those leaves that are powerful.
During and after harvesting
Proper and clean handling of the leaves as well as immediate drying will make sure the leaves keep their green color and aroma. Moisture is kept to an absolute minimum, since it would cause fermentation and that would lead to a loss of alkaloids. There is no exposure to sunlight, to protect the leaves from further alkaloid breakdown.
After drying
Only the kratom leaves that are well dried and of good color are further processed. Roughly there are between 3000 and 4000 kratom leaves in a kilogram (or 2 lbs) of kratom powder. Stems and center vein are removed during processing and the grinded powders are sieved again to create a fine particle and remove the larger veins.
Before shipping
Each batch of kratom powder is carefully tested for aroma, color and strength before final shipping, to ensure a high quality and clean kratom. If you are ready to try some of our 100% natural and powerful powders, please do check our online kratom store or contact us for more information.
