wondering how your Royal Bent & PMD worked for you?
i ask b/c i've had really good PMD & Royal Bent from RVA. though back in summer, the Royal Bent i got wasn't as great as i had prior. could just me and my system at the time back in summer or just the diff in batches. all things considered though, been very satisfied with RVA.

Red Maeng Da
White Hulu
I have a kilo on the way. I'm excited
Kinda late response from me but I just recently got my first order from them. Wasn't impressed with green MD. Tried it three or four times and didn't get much out of it. The white Bali I was absolutely impressed with. I hate to say one of my favorite strains ever but damnit it's great
I got a bunch of strains from rva in december 2018. Strains are red hulu, red ketapang, red bali, premium md, green hulu, red md, wild red and royal bent. Favorite is Premium MD by far, to me its very slow with good legs, im glad i got a kilo. Second is red bali 500g, very slow with very good legs, onset is very fast and high level of euphoria. Then green hulu third 500g, nice balanced green, nice euphoria with balanced legs and onset, overall great strain. Then royal bentuangie 750g, might actually be higher quality but the funny taste puts me off, effects are very nice on the royal though, definitely a very good strain as well
I have a half kilo of Green Big Bang, Red Big Bang, White Big Bang, Green Aceh, Red Maylay, Red Zareena, and Super Green 1 coming that will be here day after tomorrow so ill update which ones i like out of those.
I just tried the super green I got, for the second time. I was nonplussed with it at first, but I like it now. I was expecting a faster strain but it's actually kinda mid spec and anxiolytic, not what I would usually take in the morning, but it's not bad...not too heavy, just a sense of wellbeing. I'll be putting into my midday/afternoon rotation, because it seems functional.
Going to try the green hulu again tomorrow. I liked it at first, just need a couple more experiments.
Got my 3kilo order from RVA yesterday. Tried Red BigBang last night and it put me to sleep which usually doesnt happen that often. It was late but the strain just really relaxed me and helped me to go to sleep. Onset was slow but strong. Euphoria was very high, made me feel very calm and content. Legs were very long, i slept in until 4pm on christmas, lol, and went to bed at 2am so it kept me sleeping for about 12hours and then an extra 2 when i rolled over at 2pm. I wasnt even yawning when i woke up like i usually do from withdrawl of kratom, effects lasted very long time. Very nice strain, one of my favorites if not number 1 fav. Has a sort of minty flavor to it.
Tried Green BigBang this morning, been about an hour. Its nice, even effects, not too sedating, not too stimulating. Just a nice balance. Onset was slow, but got there eventually. Euphoria is great, still coming on so i might change my review but as of now im impressed with Big Bang for sure. Legs cant say since its only been an hour or 1.5 hours but if its anything like the red bigbang it should last a long time. Effects continue to get stronger while im writing this, onset is slow like i said but the nice strong effects that last a long time are worth it. Slow onset, but slow offset as well. Has less of a minty flavor.
If anyone knows why there is a minty flavor or that weird flavor the Royal Bentuangie has please let me know.
I know about how bentuangies are fermented and its not that, its different from other bents, it has a weird taste that ive only tasted from rva royal. Someone commented that it is the Roundup killer taste so i hope its not a pesticide. Aspergers is the last thing i want ya know. Makes me wonder about the process overseas while cultivating kratom in a farm. If anyone knows something about cultivation methods in Indonesia or cultivation methods specific to vendors please provide link. I would be relieved to know that no pesticides are being used

I tried the Red Maylay from Herbal RVA last night, it was ok. Euphoria was minimal, kept me up at night. Sedation was minimal as well, like i said , it kept me up. Legs were good though, lasted a very long time. Onset was fast, felt it within 25 min. Overall a good strain, just a daytime strain for me, might change its effects the more i use it so ill try it again soon an do a follow up on it.
Herbal RVA Green Aceh. This one is pretty. Nice, took it this morning and it is very good. Onset was fast, about 30 min to feel it and after an hour and a half i really felt the euphoria strongly. Euphoria would be a 9 of 10. Legs are there, stiill going after 4 hours. Sedation is minimal without being too stimulating, but i feel the stimulation still but its a good stimulation. This is one of the better strains ive had in a while. I will be keeping this one for me for sure.
RVA Red Zareena. Not impressed with this strain. Yawning and not feeling it all that much . Euphoria is low, onset is slow and overall effects are there but not that strong. Sedation is there but not as impressive as the other strains
I've been purchasing from rva for the last year with no changes of vendor and I will say most of the green strains are quite potent. My metabolism is off the charts. I usually get stimulating effects 5 to 10 mins tops after shooting my dose like a shot of liquor with just a inch of warm water. Idk if it's my tolerance from using kratom for 3 years habitually.. but I havent liked any of the red strains they offer. Most seem tasteless and I get no euphoria. Maybe my tolerance idk. With my metabolism I take 1.5 teaspoons of any green and I'm getting great effects. Just to test out this recent batch of red md and gold Bali , I went ahead and did 1.5 teaspoons of each. Been about 20 minutes and not feeling much. Idk. When I originally started using kratom the red strains were my favorite. Most euphoric. I really dont understand. Anyone can maybe explain why I'm noticing effects only with greens? It has me very confused. In no way am I down talking rva. I will continue buying from them but I'm starting to think i should focus on the stronger greens only ( PMD/Aech/Bali) would love to hear what you guys have to say. I never reached out to a forum on this subject yet. ^^
thanks and happy holidays!
