Our commitment to delivering the finest quality kratom leaf to our valued customers is unwavering. To ensure this, we engage an independent laboratory to conduct a Comprehensive Microbial Analysis, which includes checks for Total Plate Count, Yeast/Mold, Coliforms, E.Coli, S.aureus, and Salmonella/Shigella. Additionally, this analysis extends to heavy metals such as Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury. It’s important to recognize that heavy metals are present in various degrees in many products, which is why there are established acceptable and unacceptable levels. Should any batch exceed the safety thresholds for heavy metals or other contaminants, we guarantee it will not reach our shelves. Our priority is the well-being of our customers. Moreover, we periodically measure Mitragynine levels. Should you wish to review these test results, please feel free to contact us via email.
Our product is sourced directly from the very trees it is harvested from in Indonesia, ensuring unparalleled freshness. Unlike larger competitors who purchase in container-sized quantities, potentially allowing their stock to age for years, we opt for small batch orders. This approach guarantees that we offer the freshest product available on the market.
Our product lineup includes sizes of 28g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg. Additionally, we are able to accommodate bulk orders to a certain extent, subject to the availability of our current stock.
We ensure your privacy by shipping in discreet packaging. Once a package is entrusted to the USPS or UPS, we cannot be held responsible for any damage to the shipping container or its contents. Similarly, we do not accept returns for errors or damages incurred by USPS or UPS during the delivery process.
For added protection, you have the option to purchase insurance for your shipment. Please inquire with us if you wish to do so.
Proposition 65, formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, mandates that California consumers be alerted to the potential exposure to substances recognized by the state as carcinogens or reproductive toxins. These warnings are designed to empower consumers with the knowledge they need to make informed choices regarding their use of various products. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) oversees the Proposition 65 initiative and maintains a list of over 850 chemicals under scrutiny. Like many products in our category, including various food items, our offerings may contain minute quantities of heavy metals. However, as previously stated, we conduct rigorous testing to ensure these levels remain below established safe thresholds, and we do not market any product exceeding these limits.
