Thailand Kratom Powder: Thai Kratom Powder arrived on the market in early 2006. Thai Kratom Powder is produced from Thai Kratom Leaves grown on a registered Kratom Plantation in Bali, Indonesia. Currently two forms of Thai Kratom Powder are promoted on a commercial level, and one on a smaller scale.
Powdered Thai Kratom: Standard Thai Kratom that has been powdered. This variety of Kratom Powder still contains its stems. This Kratom powder is legally plantation grown by WSH and PAH in Bali, Indonesia.
De-Stemmed Thai Kratom Powder: This form of Thai Kratom powder is considerably more expensive than standard Thai Kratom Powder because it has had it stems and center veins of the thai kratomn removed before powdering. Some report that by removing the stems of mitragyna speciosa leaves the effects are slightly different. This Kratom powder is legally plantation grown by WSH and PAH in Bali, Indonesia.
De-Stemmed & De-Veined Thai Kratom Powder: This Thai Kratom Powder is currently the most expensive form of Thai Kratom Powder on the market today and only available from a few Kratom powder vendors. This form of Kratom Powder has not only had its center stems removed, but also its tiny hair-like veins removed from the leaf as well. The origin of this form of Thai Kratom is unknown, however considering the legal Kratom plantations in the world do not offer Thai Kratom Powder in this form one can draw their own conclusions (see Kratom Leaf varieties page)
