Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, in the same family as the coffee plant. The leaves have been used in traditional contexts in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia for generations.
Where It Grows
Most commercial kratom comes from mature trees grown in Indonesia. Quality vendors maintain direct relationships with farm partners, harvest from mature leaves, and dry the product carefully to preserve alkaloid content.
Vein Colors
Kratom is categorized by vein color: white, green, red, gold, and yellow. Each reflects a different harvest and processing approach. For a deeper breakdown see our strains explained guide.
