I have tried many vendors over the years including the low quality brands at my local headshop, when in a jam. My experience has taught me that almost always the kratom sold online is much MUCH higher quality. So much so, that i refuse to shop at headshops for kratom. My memory is a bit fogggy on this rule... But is sourcing vendors allowed here? As I'd love to help some small time vendors out. As I'm sure they'd be enthralled to be receiving new customers.
The whole kratom process is truly fascinating. It comes from the tree where the leaves are harvested, at which point they analyze what color vein the leaf has running down it's spine. So if it has red running down it's spine, then it's red vein kratom most likely. The older more mature kratom trees, often referred to as elephant, will tend to have huge leaves because they have been growing the longest. This results in an increase in mitrgynine levels in the leaves when extracted. Noww for the tricky part. The drying process. Most kratom leaves are spread out across huge tarps on the ground farmland for several days so that they may dry out. In more recent years people have discovered different drying techniques such as, string dry. Which if i remember correctly is where they string each leaf individually so that the leaves have more surface area exposed to the air as possible, versus piling 200leaves into a pile ontop of a tarp for day and hope they all dry out. Now there is yellow and gold strains... I believe they use a different drying method that requires the leaves to be left outside for many day in the sun. Onto Bentuangie, one of my favourites.if you're looking for sedation/relaxation, great pain relief then this string is for you. Bent, or Bentuangie for short...is by far the best at pain killing. It's cultivation requires that the kratom leaves become firmented for several day.
Anyways to wrap this up. If you're looking for chill mode around the house with opiate like sensations, I'd go for a good vendor that sells high quality Bentuangie.
