Indoor Drying: The Secret to Freshness
Before kratom leaves can be pulverized into powder they must first be dried. Did you know that the vast majority of kratom leaves are sun dried outdoors? This common practice will often result in neglected leaves turning brown in the sun thus reducing and degrading the alkaloid content in the leaves. A less common but far superior method of drying is indoor drying. Indoor drying protects the leaves from the sun’s harmful rays and retains the moisture and freshness in the leaf. This means greater freshness, more pleasant flavor profiles, and greater potency.
There are many factors that go into producing top quality kratom. Soil content, drying process, and storing and shipping techniques to name just a few. Currently, knowing what makes quality kratom is a lot like tasting fine wine. From only a taste an expert should be able to tell you which location the grapes were grown but for most people this amount of specifics will be unknown. Here at the kratom park we do the research ourselves and have selected the best vendors from all regions of the globe. Most of the worlds kratom comes from the island of Borneo but as governments grow more open to rational kratom legality as well as a massive increase of global demand, we see more kratom production from all over the world.
From Borneo to You
About 90% of the world kratom come from a small region in the middle of Kalimantan, Indonesia. Rural villages along the bank of the Kapuas River will grow and harvest kratom. A long as labor intensive process is done to dry and remove the stems from the kratom which makes it cheaper to ship. This is a necessary process when sending large shipments by boat overseas.
