Kratom

Buy Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) — Selected varieties with batch analysis

At Edabea, you will find a selection of kratom (Mitragyna speciosa Korth. Havil.) organized by vein type and variety of origin, complete with detailed information about provenance, format, and analytical control for each batch. Mitragyna speciosa is a tropical tree from the Rubiaceae family, native to the humid regions of Southeast Asia — Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea — where it grows naturally along riverbanks and in forest areas with high humidity. Its phytochemical profile is characterized by the presence of indole alkaloids, with mitragynine being the predominant alkaloid documented in the leaf (Shellard, E.J. et al., 1978. Planta Medica, 34(3), 253–263). The catalog is primarily presented in powder in packages of 25 g and 100 g, with a few references in cut leaf and concentrated extracts.

Classification by vein — botanical basis and drying process

The classification of kratom by vein color — red, green, white, and yellow — refers to the color of the leaf's central vein at harvest, and especially to the drying and curing processes applied afterward. They are not distinct species but rather materials of Mitragyna speciosa processed differently, resulting in phytochemical profiles with documented variations in the relative proportion of alkaloids (Veltri, C. & Grundmann, O., 2019. Substance Abuse and Rehabilitation, 10, 23–35).

The yellow vein warrants a specific clarification: it does not correspond to a real botanical vein of the Mitragyna speciosa leaf. It results from a differentiated post-harvest process — prolonged curing, mixing of materials from different veins, or controlled fermentation — which produces a material with its own organoleptic and phytochemical characteristics. Its denomination is commercial, not botanical.

Variety Names — Maeng Da, Super, Horn, and Jongkong

Within each vein, the varieties are identified by names referring to criteria for selecting the leaf, not to distinct botanical species or subspecies:

Maeng Da — a Thai term referring to mature leaves selected for their higher alkaloid concentration. It is not a distinct species nor a formal botanical variety, but rather a classification of harvested material within Mitragyna speciosa.

Super — refers to leaves picked from the upper position of the tree, where light exposure and leaf development are greater. The term
