WHAT IS GREEN VEIN KRATOM?
Green vein kratom is a strain of Mitragyna Speciosa. Typically found in the Southeast Asia area, it naturally grows in rainforests due to the humidity and climate. The Kratom tree can grow up to 49 feet tall and is an evergreen. Evergreen trees sprout hundreds of leaves and are always supplying farmers with plenty of kratom leaves to harvest.
While other colors are available, the green variety has often been referred to by customers as a delicate balance between the intense red vein and even subtler white vein kratom. It’s also a relatively easy type of kratom to find (unlike the elusive golden kratom). The colors aren’t arbitrary, either.
In fact, the color of the leaves come down to the cyclical behavior of nature itself. When the leaf first sprouts on the evergreen tree, it begins its life as a red leaf. This infantile stage is important, as it houses a unique collection of alkaloids. As the leaf grows, the chemistry in the leaf changes as well.
Most people will go with green vein kratom when they are looking for a middle ground potency. Red vein kratom tends to provide users with high potency levels and white is more subtle.
After a while, the red leaf begins to mature and change from red to green. Green is your “midlife” stage, and it’s not long before it reaches full maturity and becomes white. Now, it’s also possible that the green leaf will transform into a golden yellow color, but that’s a rarity.
If the white/yellow leaf isn’t harvested within a certain amount of time, then it turns brown and withers away as all leaves do. Time plays a very important role when it comes to kratom.
Green is also not a color of kratom that stays to itself. Indeed, when people use kratom, they often partake in more than just one color. However, if you’re going to combine varying colors of kratom, it’s best to consult an herbalist before carrying on with it.
You can expect a green vein kratom strain to have a distinct aroma that accompanies it.

WHERE IS GREEN KRATOM GROWN?
Like all other colors of kratom, the green variety comes from the Mitragyna Speciosa tree. Since it grows in countries like Indonesia and Asia, this type of kratom grows up and is cultivated in hot and humid weather conditions.
The harvesting process these leaves go through makes a big impact on how the kratom promotes wellbeing.
THE HARVESTING PROCESS
For example, once the leaves are picked off the tree, there are two ways in which the farmers harvest them. First, the farmers can hang their leaves outside. This allows the sun to dry them out in a natural fashion. Or, the farmers also have the choice of placing them out on racks to dry. While it really comes down to the preference of the farmer, it’s this drying process known as “curing” that shapes how the leaf will interact with the body.
When the sunlight hits the leaves and dries them, it mixes up and changes the alkaloids within the leaf. So, just by the process of drying different colored leaves, these farmers can manipulate what type of kratom they’re actually harvesting.
However, that’s not the only way in which farmers concoct specific strains of kratom. If they want to create a specific green vein kratom strain, they have two other techniques at their disposal.
First, they can engage in what’s known as “fermentation”. Instead of placing the leaves out to dry in the sun, they are placed into a bag and left to ferment. This traps the moisture and alters the compounds of the alkaloids inside the leaf. Depending on the strain they’re trying to make, they will keep the leaves in the bag for varying time frames.
There’s also the technique known as “shade drying”. As the name suggests, the leaf isn’t placed in the sun. Instead, it’s kept in the shade to preserve its natural alkaloid makeup. The only downside to this technique is that it may take longer for the leaves to change colors, so it might not be the best choice for every situation.
Since the leaves thrive in the sunlight, they survive in the local weather conditions and are exceptionally resistant to dying. This is important to note since kratom is a product that gets shipped all around the world.
In these Asian countries, kratom farmers pick the kratom leaves and grind them into a fine powder by using machines like industrial grinders. The powder is the most common form of kratom, and this powder then gets shipped from its home soil to countries like the United States.
