It is human nature to lust after that which is
beautiful. Our instincts draw us toward the colorful and the shapely. Who would
claim to prefer a flower's plain stalk over its colorful bud? And yet, no matter
how much attention we humans devote to the "sexier" parts of a plant, it is the
plain, dutiful leaf that is the most important to its survival. For it is in the
leaf where photosynthesis takes place, the conversion of light energy into the
chemical energy the plant needs to survive. By transforming the raw material of
carbon dioxide and water, energized by sunlight, into glucose and oxygen, the
plant's leaves provide the energy to create and sustain our fetish flower.
Boring, yes, but without leaves, our precious plant life could never produce
that which we so deeply desire.
The leaf of a kratom plant has the dense green color we often associate with
tropical rainforests. Capable of reaching lengths of over 7 inches, and widths
beyond 4 inches, the kratom leaf is shaped like a single teardrop, with colorful
veins running throughout. And it is the kratom leaf that, for years, has served
as the source of the Thailand's kratom usage. Typically, the leaf is hand picked
and laid out to dry, flat on its side. Next, the kratom leaf is either chewed as
is, or ground into a fine powder for easier consumption.
The kratom leaves sold here come from either Thai kratom plants, or from our
private reserve in India. Both are certified natural, meaning each one was
handpicked. So, whether it is dried, whole-leaf you prefer or ground kratom leaf
extract, the product you order will come naturally from the ancient Mitragyna
tree, green and lush in its natural, jungle state, sustainably harvested, and
perpetually growing.
