Lab testing

After having tried different Kratom specialized testing laboratories we learned that test results differ strongly between certain laboratories. This can occur due to slightly inaccurate testing processes. We sent same samples to different labs and decided for the lab that delivered steady results.

Strains

Scientifically speaking there is only one species of Kratom trees which can have red, white and green veined leaves. Most of the vendors do not have different Kratom trees with assorted colors on the trees, but many trees that can have all colors mixed-up up on the same branch, even horned.

Harvest & Drying

The harvest and drying methods vary between different farmers, some do not take enough time to let the leaves grow to a certain age. We make sure that our product stays on the tree long enough to produce the wanted alkaloids and that the drying process is handled with a focus on clean production.

Machinery

Many producers do not use appropriate machinery to guarantee a safe product. It is more expensive to only use stainless steel machinery and most vendors have not been at their farmers place to know what they are using. We made sure that only stainless-steel is used while processing the leaves.
