For many people, green Kratom is the only Kratom they buy. Named for the green vein color of the leaves before processing, green Kratom is an increasingly popular choice for those who don’t want an aroma that’s too over stimulating or too relaxing. While there are plenty of green vein Kratom strains out there, we think we offer the 5 best green Kratom strains for Kratom enthusiasts looking for quality, potency, and consistent results.

Green Kratom: The Mitragyna Speciosa Plant

So what is green Kratom?

Grown throughout the lush jungles and forests of Southeast Asia, the Kratom plant is a tree closely related to the coffee plant most of us know and love. Its evergreen Kratom leaves have long been viewed by indigenous people as medicinal, making it an important ethnobotanical to both the rapidly modernizing city hubs and traditional isolated villages that dot the area. With a warm, damp climate generated by the tropical heat and many seas in the area, these plants grow strong, nourished by acidic soil rich in minerals from the volcanic eruptions that helped create the area.

The best green Kratom of the area is tended to by small families of farmers in backyard garden-farms and in the wild rainforests where it grows abundantly. An important cash crop for the region, Kratom helps promote biodiversity by taking the place of timber and palm oil harvesting which encourages deforestation. Coupled with fair trade practices and sustainable Kratom farming techniques, the harvest of green Kratom often proves to be the lifeblood for area communities.

Ethical, Sustainable Agriculture

The best green Kratom is found by knowledgeable farmers whose families have cultivated Kratom for generations, giving them the experience to know which leaves to pick and which to leave for maturation. Unlike some crops, where the whole plant is taken at harvest, only select leaves — those needed and ready for the market — are picked from Kratom branches. This helps ensure not only a reliable supply of green Kratom but plentiful red Kratom later in the maturation process.

While often referred to as “strains,” white, red, and green vein leaves all come from the same plant, but each represents a different time in the life cycle of the foliage. All Kratom leaves start as new growth with white stems and veins. As the branches and leaves grow out, the veins of the leaves slowly take on a green hue. Once it is a rich, vibrant green, it’s ready to be harvested for green Kratom. Any green leaves left on the vine continue to mature, eventually changing to a red color for the ever-popular red Kratom strains.

This shift in coloration occurs as the ratio of the two primary active compounds in Kratom, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, change with the maturation of the leaf. As the leaves age, more mitragynine is converted into 7-hydroxymitragynine, shifting the hue of the stem and veins. Once the veins reach a dark red color, the shifting is halted and changes very little from that point forward.
