Double M Herbals | Kratom Forum

Hey y’all! So I wanted to see if anyone else has had the privilege to chew fresh picked Kratom leaves and what their experience was? For me, I have chewed either 3-4 small leaves at a time or a single large leaf (as seen in attachment) and so far it has been a clean invigorating energy each time. I have only chewed fresh leaf a few times from my Trees as I like to keep the leaves on the tree as long as I can (usually 120-180 days) to build alkaloids. I don’t take Kratom for pain but feel like fresh leaf provided a nice body feeling which I tend to associate with pain re-leaf.

I LOVE powdered milled Kratom, but getting the chance to chew fresh leaf is a nice option to have occasionally!

Any body else have an experience to share with chewing fresh Kratom leaves?

Haven't had the privilege of chewing fresh leaves but I will be able to in about 120 days! In the 3rd pic, how did the fermented turn out vs rack drying? Was it noticeably different burns??

Very Pretty

So those leaves weren’t actually fermented but completely rack dried and sealed in those bags after 3 days of drying with fan air circulation! The leaves out of bags were still drying, soon to be stored in the zip lock bags as well! The dried has made amazing tea but I still have the majority of those leaves to be grinded down and milled! Will do that soon and let y’all know how tosh and wash goes with the home grown Kratom! I have yet to mill my homegrown kratom and toss n wash.

Excited to watch your trees grow K-Dawg!

Thanks! Will most definitely share with y’all what I learn about growing Kratom here in the USA and how these different phenotypes differ with various curing methods!

Do you use coffee grinder for leaf? Also i noticed your leafs are wide but long like most kratom leafs. Interesting phenotype.

Yes those fatter leaves in photo with red scissors came from my Indonesian phenotype, definitely slightly different leaf structure than my Thai and Malaysian (however, each phenotype can put out different leaf shapes and sizes). I plan to use a coffee grinder to do this, that is correct. So far I have only crushed the leaves and ran them over a metal mesh screen. But am going to take it a step further and powder it soon. But yes those leaves were some chunkers!
