Beginner’s Guide to Choosing a Kratom Strain

Exploring Kratom Strains

Learn more about the different Kratom Veins and what they have to offer.

Kratom is similar to tea, in that it all comes from one source. However, depending on where it’s grown, how it’s grown, and how it’s processed, the outcomes can be different. For example, just like black tea has more caffeine than green, Kratom strains differ in experience based on their varying chemical properties.

Kratom Strains Overview

Kratom strains are typically categorized by the color of the veins in the leaves. You’ll often see the three main Kratom varieties: Red Vein Kratom, Green Vein Kratom, and White Vein Kratom. You’ll sometimes also see Yellow Vein and Gold Vein Kratom, which aren’t actual “veins,” but are usually just blends of the previous three. It’s important to note that the color of the Kratom vein determines some major characteristics of the product, such as its Alkaloid composition.

Choosing A Kratom Strain

Choosing a Kratom strain is completely individual, and depends on the type of support one might be looking for.

The best way to get started is to consider what type of support you need, explore the different strains that can meet this criteria, and order a Sample Pack of the multiple strains that interest you.

Cultivation Origins

We know that the color of Kratom makes a difference in the support you’ll get, but so does where it’s grown. Learn more about the different locations of where Kratom is grown, and the results to consider.

Many Kratom Strains were named based on the port from which the Kratom was shipped, or where they were grown. Depending on where the Kratom was cultivated and exported, the products were reported to boast differing properties and chemical profiles. The common strains Borneo, Bali, Sumatra, Ketapang, and Hulu, are all named after countries or regions in Indonesia from where that specific strain originates.

The world of Kratom has changed a lot in the last century. In order to keep up with the growing demand for Kratom products, vendors will blend their Kratom and sell it as individual strains. While this can create wonderful and potent products, the purity and authenticity of the strain can’t always be trusted. At In Sense Botanicals, we prioritize authenticity by working closely with our producers in Indonesia to ensure that our products are as pure and consistent as possible.

Fresh & Clean Kratom
There are many ways in which we ensure the freshness and cleanliness of our Kratom. The top three include:
1. No middle-man – Our Kratom is directly imported from growers in Indonesia. We work closely with them to ensure that the crops are Organic*, chemical free, and that the Kratom arrives to us in its purest form.
2. Lab-testing – We have stringent lab-testing performed on all of our Kratom powders by a 3rd party lab-testing company. We test for heavy metals, yeast, mold, e. Coli, staph, salmonella, and other foreign contaminants. We set the bar high for quality.
3. Climate controlled storage – Once received, we keep our Kratom in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment, which keeps it safe from potential bacteria growth and spoiling. Fresh Kratom is the best Kratom.
