What is Red Thai Kratom?
Origin and History
Kratom is native to Thailand, where it has been part of local culture for generations. Workers traditionally chewed the fresh leaf or brewed it into tea. Red Thai is made from leaves left to mature until their central veins turn red.
How Red Thai Kratom is Sourced
Mature leaves are harvested, dried and destemmed before grinding. Removing the stems gives a finer powder. Every batch we sell is lab tested for contaminants and alkaloid content.
Red Thai Kratom vs. Red Bali
Red Thai and Red Bali are two of the most popular reds. Both are made from mature red vein leaf and both are usually chosen for the evening. Many customers try both, or rotate between them, to see which they prefer.

How to Use Red Thai Kratom
Always follow the serving information printed on the label. Common ways customers take kratom powder include:
Toss and wash: a measured serving washed down with water or juice
Mixed into a drink: stirred into juice, a smoothie or a protein shake to soften the bitter taste
Kratom tea: steeped in hot water, often with honey or lemon
Capsules: if you would rather skip the taste, choose Red Thai capsules
Everyone reacts differently, so effects vary from person to person. Kratom is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
