Mitragaia Strain reviews

[Apathycre8schaos]

Ok, so I'm going to start off this review by thanking everyone who participates in this forum. Its because of you guys that 8ve been able to branch out and learn about more affordable and reputable vendors with good product. For the longest time I exclusively ordered from Gaia Ethnobotanicals, Kats Botanicals and BuyKratomBulkUSA. Exceedingly more often than not I would get most of my product ordered from Gaia because of their quick shipping times ( even though they're located in Jacksonville, FL it would only take about 3-4 days to get to my house sometimes 2). I always thought Kats Botanicals had a slightly better product ( this was in the 2017- early 2018 time frame) but it could take up to two weeks from the order date to get to your doorstep. I'm telling you though - Gaia used to have decent product. I absolutely loved their purple8-in-one and especially their red dragon. Their red dragon was so phenomenal that my gf(who used to relentlessly make fun of me for drinking kratom and called it my "toilet water") fell in love with it after she pretty much broke her toe and sprained her ankle and finally consumed some just to ease her pain (doctors gave her nothing for the pain) and she tried it out of desperation. She swore she would never try it and kept believing the propaganda against it and kept telling me how bad it was for me. THEN she realized the amazing properties of this plant and has been a daily consumer for about 8 months now. Funny how so many people knock it till they try it and then absolutely come to love it. Gaia's Red Dragon was her go to until back in November of 2018 we finally ordered half a kilo after we stopped ordering it for a few months (same strain syndrome was kicking n and I told her she needed to branch out and try different strains as well as from different vendors). I always rotated strains suchh as Gaia's Premium red maeng da and their White Elephant or Ganesh MD. All of these were seriously decent strains until October and November of last year when the quality took an obvious dip. At first I thought it was tolerance issues finally kicking in but I was good to go after I ordered some Kats White Elephant and some of their Red Maeng da. On a side note Kats White Elephant is fucking AMAZING - I just got some about 3 weeks ago and it was mind blowing. I will be ordering more soon. Kats consistency with their product reliability is well, damned reliable. Anyway, to shorten up this ramble I finally ordered some Gaia late January of this year and got some radically different looking product bags witha different logo as well as a different name and different web address stamped on the bag. Since I was low on stock I consumed some.product but sent an email telling them that I was pretty sure they sent me some wrong stock. With no reply from them I finally went to their website and realized they had a complete company rebranding as well as 32 new strains. I figured that they would want customers to like the new strains and even though they had sent me a whole split kiloof total garbage a few months before I braved it and ordered 4 250g bags of completely new strains.I grabbed up some white jongkong, red jongkong, red ketapang and green brunei (mainly because 3 of those strains are fire from Kats). Truth be told the red and white jongkong were pretty much bangin' but the other 2 were only so-so. I haven't ordered anything from them for a couple months now though because I dont like to play Russian roulette with my kratom orders after having been burnt by them so many times recently. They definitely lost a dedicated customer in me though because I ordered a LOT of stock from them over the past few years.
Anybody else have any good experiences with MitraGAIA's new strains?

Gaia Ethnobotanical was the first vendor I ordered from after finding the reddit community and spending weeks researching. I ordered a bunch of split kilos of various strains. I may have ordered one of everything. This was a couple years ago. Anyway - I noticed all of their powder looked the same - only difference was the names on the bags. It was about 35-40% of the strains that were actually good though. The rest was meh or bunk. I never bothered ordering twice because I had so much and more than half was not great. It was super disappointing because at the time, reddit seemed to be raving about them universally.

I only realized tonight that Mitragaia was the same place just rebranded. It definitely looks like they put a lot more money into things. If their leaf issues are the same though, what's the point? The Purple8-1 and GaneshMD were sort of bunk for me, but others claimed they were favorites. Chemistry I guess.
