These varieties originate from the older leaves of the kratom tree (Mitragyna speciosa) with red veins. It’s important to note that although red vein kratom is often characterized as providing relaxation and comfort, it shouldn’t be consumed as a sedative. When consumed in appropriate amounts, red vein kratom can still provide an energy boost for most users. Consequently, these kratom strains are favored by individuals seeking to enhance their energy levels without experiencing the typical jitteriness associated with common stimulants.
Green vein kratom is harvested from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree at a pivotal point in its growth cycle when the veins boast a distinctive green hue. This particular stage imbues the kratom with a unique balance of alkaloids, resulting in a versatile and well-rounded experience.
White vein kratom derives its name from the distinctive white veins that run through the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree. Harvested at the peak of maturity, these leaves contain a potent blend of alkaloids, known for their stimulating properties. If you’re seeking a natural boost to your energy levels and mental acuity, white vein kratom is your ticket to unparalleled vitality.

THE IMPACT OF ALKALOIDS
Alkaloids, derived from plants, exert significant effects on humans. In Kratom, these alkaloids play a pivotal role, making it a potent addition to any wellness routine.
These inherent properties serve as the driving force behind the Kratom tree’s efficacy. In the early 1900s, researchers pinpointed the primary alkaloids in Kratom: Mitragynine and 7-hydroxy mitragynine.
Upon further investigation, scientists determined that mitragynine predominates among Kratom’s alkaloids, likely underpinning the plant’s beneficial effects.
Red Kratom, belonging to the Mitragyna speciosa family, harbors approximately 25 alkaloids in its chemical composition. Alkaloids are instrumental in Kratom’s effectiveness. The distinct outcomes of white and green vein Kratom stem from variations in their alkaloid distribution.
KRATOM STRAINS WITH RED VEINS
The hues of Kratom leaves develop during processing, with red vein Kratom being the original variant. However, distinctions can arise within each strain due to various drying methods.
When purchasing Kratom, some vendors utilize color distinctions to specify the origin of their products, while others categorize Kratom colors based on geographical regions. Additionally, certain suppliers blend different Kratom types, creating entirely new products.
That’s why it’s crucial to rely on a trusted Kratom supplier like LIH Tea Company, ensuring transparency and quality. Given that red vein Kratom typically represents the original strain from which other variants originate, opting for this strain is a wise choice for authenticity.
Red vein Kratom trees demonstrate exceptional resilience, ensuring a steady supply for consumers. They thrive in diverse environments, including dry areas and floodplains, and exhibit robust growth when exposed to ample sunlight.
Respected Kratom vendors like LIH Tea Company source leaves from both wild trees and cultivated plantations, harvested at peak maturity by cultivation experts to preserve their alkaloid content.
REFINING RED VEIN KRATOM
Each strain undergoes unique processing methods based on its color, with the majority (75% to 85%) originating as red vein Kratom. While white and green vein Kratom strains do exist, they are quite rare and challenging to come by.
Typically, suppliers start with red vein Kratom, which LIH Tea Company then dries and processes in specific ways to yield the desired green or white vein varieties. This processing alters the color of each strain.
Green vein Kratom follows a drying process similar to red vein Kratom, but it is moved indoors away from UV rays for a period of time.
White vein Kratom is derived from red vein Kratom through an indoor processing phase followed by outdoor drying in sunlight.
LIH Tea Company growers dry red vein Kratom in direct sunlight to harness the benefits of ultraviolet rays and undergoes a fermentation process, darkening the powder over time.
During fermentation, Kratom leaves are sealed in bags and left indoors for 2-5 days, depending on the desired darkness of the powder.
Interestingly, there is also a yellow vein Kratom variation. Farmers and processors blend white and green or green and red Kratom, fermenting the mixture to create a new yellow strain.
UTILIZING RED VEIN KRATOM
It is crucial to purchase red vein Kratom from a trusted Kratom distributor like LIH Tea Company.
There are several methods to incorporate red vein Kratom into your daily wellness routine. Some individuals chew the leaves in the traditional Southeast Asian manner. Others brew tea using whole or crushed leaves, while some consume the leaf powder directly or wash it down with liquid (known as the “toss and wash” method). Mixing the leaf powder with another beverage is also an option to mask the herbal taste.
Brewing tea from Kratom leaves appears to be the most seamless way to integrate Kratom into your diet for many users. Capsules have also gained popularity recently due to their convenience. They eliminate the strong taste that some first-time Kratom users find challenging, are highly portable and discreet, and allow for precise dosage measurement when made at home. The recommended serving size for Kratom is 2.4g, with a maximum of 2 servings per 24 hours.
Citrus tea or fresh fruit smoothies can effectively mask the taste of Kratom with their sweet and tart flavors. Overnight oats provide a nutritious and filling option for starting your day. Kratom powder can even be added to simple foods like applesauce, complemented with turmeric and cinnamon for added flavor.

HISTORY OF KRATOM
Communities across Southeast Asia have embraced Kratom for centuries, harnessing its natural properties to manage daily stresses and enhance overall well-being. Traditionally, Kratom leaves are either chewed alone or combined with other ingredients to mitigate their robust, herbal flavor.
Kratom comes in three primary strains – green vein, red vein, and white vein, with a blended yellow vein variation also available. While the majority of these strains (approximately 75 to 85%) originate from the red vein variety, distinct drying methods alter the color and alkaloid composition of each strain.
Experienced Kratom users often have a preferred strain, as each possesses unique benefits stemming from its alkaloid content.
Alkaloids, the natural compounds found in Kratom, are the key components responsible for its effects. In the early 1900s, researchers identified two primary alkaloids in Kratom: mitragynine and 7-hydroxy mitragynine.
Each strain boasts its own specific combination of alkaloids. For instance, red vein Kratom contains approximately 25 alkaloids in its chemical composition, rendering it one of the more potent Kratom strains available.

GREEN KALI
Green Kali Kratom, also referred to as Green Kalimantan Kratom, originates from the lush landscapes of Kalimantan, Indonesia, within the esteemed kratom-growing region.
This biodiverse area boasts untouched tropical rainforests and nutrient-rich soils, creating an ideal environment for kratom cultivation. Kalimantan’s high temperatures and humidity contribute to the enhanced alkaloid content found within the kratom leaves.
The process of harvesting Green Kali involves selecting mature kratom leaves, followed by careful drying and grinding. Unlike white vein strains, which are harvested prematurely, and red strains, which are picked later in the growth stage, green vein strains are harvested during the middle stage of the kratom tree’s development.
Some farmers note that they obtain the Green Kali strain by harvesting leaves from the middle section of the kratom tree. They highlight that leaves in this section receive less sunlight compared to those at the top.
Green vein kratom requires less processing compared to red, white, and yellow strains. It does not undergo fermentation, sun-drying, or blending with other strains. As a result, Green Kali retains its natural alkaloid profile, offering a unique and authentic kratom experience.

WHITE VEIN
Processing White Vein Kratom
Were you aware that White Vein Kratom trees exist in the wild, just like Green Vein Kratom trees? Interestingly, these trees are exceptionally rare and have a lower likelihood of survival compared to Red Vein Kratom trees.
In theory, it’s possible to harvest a rare Green Vein Kratom tree and process its leaves to achieve a white vein pattern.
The white coloration of the leaves is a result of the specific treatment they undergo after harvesting. To produce a White Vein Kratom strain, growers typically bring the freshly harvested leaves indoors for a designated period (often just a few days) before exposing them to direct sunlight for their final treatment.
The Historical Use of White Vein Kratom
For centuries, traditional communities in Southeast Asia have utilized the Kratom tree for its various benefits. The leaves of the kratom plant are commonly consumed either fresh from the tree or dried and ground into a fine powder, which can be easily mixed into water, coffee, or tea.
Due to the robust flavor of Kratom powder, many individuals opt to enhance its taste by adding flavorings such as orange juice or fruit concentrates. Some users become accustomed to the taste and prefer to consume the powder on its own using the ‘Toss and Wash’ dosing method. Alternatively, others choose to blend Kratom into yogurt, oatmeal, or applesauce for consumption.
In recent years, Kratom has gained significant popularity in the United States as people across the country recognize its remarkable benefits when used responsibly and knowledgeably.
White Vein Kratom is typically available in various forms:
- Crushed leaf
- Stem-and-vein
- Loose powder
