The differences between Kratom Strains
Share
The differences between various kratom strains primarily lie in their geographic origin, the color of the veins on the leaves, and the specific environmental conditions in which they are grown. Here are some general characteristics of different kratom strains:
-
Red Vein Kratom:
- Often associated with mature leaves.
- Typically grows in regions with warmer climates.
- Colors can range from a deep red to a reddish-brown.
-
Green Vein Kratom:
- Usually harvested from leaves that are in between the young and mature stages.
- Grows in a variety of climates, with moderate temperatures.
- Veins tend to be green, and the color can vary in intensity.
-
White Vein Kratom:
- Generally derived from younger leaves.
- Grows in regions with a mix of warm and cool temperatures.
- Veins are lighter in color, often appearing white or light green.
-
Yellow Vein Kratom:
- The yellow color is often created through a specific drying process rather than being a natural vein color.
- Can be made from red, green, or white vein leaves.
-
Gold Vein Kratom:
- Similar to yellow vein kratom, gold vein kratom is often a result of specific drying techniques.
- The color can vary, but it's typically a golden or amber hue.
-
Maeng Da Kratom:
- Known for its potency and is often a blend of various strains.
- Originally developed in Thailand but is now cultivated in other regions as well.
- Available in red, green, and white vein varieties.
Remember that these general characteristics may not apply universally, as factors like the specific growing conditions, harvesting methods, and processing techniques can influence the properties of each strain. Additionally, individual variations can occur due to the specific plantation and the expertise of the farmer.
