For white kratom, the leaves of the mitragyna speciosa tree are harvested earlier in their maturity than red or green vein kratom. The leaves are dried under specific conditions, and they are not exposed to the light of any kind. By not exposing the leaves to the light, they are prevented from darkening, and this locks in specific aspects of the alkaloid content of the kratom leaf. 

The various types of white vein kratom are named for the place of origin. Native to southeast Asia, white vein kratom comes in several types, and each may have slightly different properties.

How To Take White Kratom?

How to take White Kratom?

White kratom can be taken like any other strain of kratom. There are some simple ways to take kratom. It is little more than leaves much like tea, it is easily consumed. 

There are several ways to take white kratom. One of the most popular and effective ways to take white kratom is in the form of tea. Especially for people who are new to kratom, this is probably the most palatable. 

Some kratom users report effects of kratom are actually by taking it in the form of a tea. This is likely due to the rapid absorption of the kratom alkaloids. This is the method recommended for people who are taking kratom to relax and relieve ill feelings. 

What is more, kratom tea generally does not produce a common side effect of kratom commonly referred to as the “wobbles.” The wobbles happen when you have difficulty focusing your eyes. This leads to dizziness in some people. 

White Kratom Tea

Use a sieve or fine mesh to filter the water through the kratom powder. Then, heat one-half cup of water to boil. Let the water cool for about 10 minutes (you do not want it boiling. Just hot enough to dissolve the alkaloids). Remove the kratom powder when the water becomes a deep orange or yellow. Drink and enjoy. 

You can even flavor your tea with some fresh lemon or with honey or sugar. The acids in lemon (or lime) will preserve the alkaloids in kratom and make your tea especially effective. Kratom tea can be chilled and consumed iced. 

How To Toss And Wash Kratom

The toss and wash method is exactly what it sounds like: you toss the kratom back and wash it down with water or some other liquid like juice. There are a few advantages of the toss and wash method. For one, you get the kratom down quickly and completely. Toss and wash also reduce the taste of the kratom powder which can be bitter and unpleasant. Toss and wash also get you a full serving in one quick movement.

Finally, kratom powder can stick to your mouth. This can be unpleasant. By washing it down with some kind of juice or with water, you make it easy to swallow the kratom powder. 

Your drink is not that important. This is a matter of taste. Use water, apple juice, or orange juice. 

  1. Take a sip of water or juice and hold it in your mouth. 
  2. Take half the desired serving of kratom with a spoon. 
  3. Take another sip of water or juice to wash down the rest of the powder. 
  4. Repeat these steps to achieve the desired serving. Usually two. 

There are advantages to using the toss and wash method. Taking the powder directly in this way produces effects quickly. The disadvantage is that it can be hard to get a precise serving size. The other thing about toss and wash for many kratom users is you cannot avoid the taste of the kratom. Some people find the bitter flavor to be intolerable. If this is the case for you, kratom pills might be the answer.
