Anyone have any feedback on Herba Rosa?

Post by NCF3420 »

I recently ordered their new GMD, which is supposedly sourced from Fiji. Has anyone tried them yet?

It’s bulk and I haven’t heard great things from people who have tried the samples.

I figured but was hoping not. The sourcing from Fiji part seemed kinda weird but I just ordered a small bag with a coupon code. Thanks for the reply

it's not bad, the batches I had from a sampler.

The guy likes to put on cat ears, call himself catboy the mascot, and make videos posted on youtube and his kratom site detailing various topics; it's unusual. Or, he says, it could be someone else who is catboy, and not him, the company owner.

I don't believe that deer is him, it even says twitch council member. There's a link to his tik toc videos in his vendor listing. Here's one of his YouTube videos

Yea, it’s someone else. But it’s an xy male that identifies as a doe (a girl deer)

as for catboy, is it true that he imports kratom from Fiji? that's what it says on his vendor listings. I've never heard anyone doing that before.

I am DYING laughing at all the crazy cat jokes! People are staring now, so either I'm too loud or it's the pink jingle bell collar around my neck.! :lol:

I've only been using kratom regularly for about 5 months, but have used opioids for years re: pain management. I personally really LIKED Herba Rosa! Anthony has his 3 "House" Green, Red, & White strains.. I tried all three. It's a great day when I can go a few hours with little to no pain (systemic, chronic arthritis). Green gave me that relief plus good, steady energy. The Red is a nice chill down for the evening.. I'm not a big White user, but it was actually good. Not disappointed in the least. Wish I had made a bigger purchase with the larger coupon the first go 'round, but c'est la vie. I'll definitely buy more Green and Red to keep on hand. Herba Rosa has 2 coupons: "doublem" = 15% off (endless useage) and "firsttime" = 20% (you guessed it!). Both can be combined for up to 35% off. BTW: everyone here at DMH is SO COOL! I appreciate that you offer REAL advice, assist newbies like me, and don't make us feel foolish for asking questions! :D

Yep, that's Catboy! But that video is not the best. If you want to see Catboy's best work, check out my most recent upload: https://youtu.be/eHRFNdk-YNw
New video coming soon! Gonna be making dry blue lotus extract.

Only one way to know for sure, and that's to find out for yourself. :D

You want a sample pack?
Let me know and we can arrange it.


I'm confident in what I've got. I use it myself.

---

And - quick question:

What is your definition of "bulk"?

...

People keep trying to say that Herba Rosa is "bulk", but there seems to be a disconnect in how it is defined.
I want to hear what you have to say, and I have a feeling that my kratom is not bulk in the same way you imagine it is.
I would really appreciate your feedback on that, and I'll let you know if Herba Rosa does indeed fall under that definition.
There's only one person who has the real scoop on my kratom and that is me.

You might be pleasantly surprised if you choose to give it a shot and hear my side of the story. :D

Of course, I realize I have a vested interest in maintaining a positive reputation, so I understand if you choose not to trust me.
But it can't hurt to hear what I have to say, right? If you don't believe me, I won't hold it against you.

Aww thank you so much for being so supportive! :D My business is still very small and needs all the support it can get.
I really do appreciate it so very very very much!

You've been so kind, creenamaki and I am honored to have you as a customer. Feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions. You have my gratitude for such a glowing testimony. :mrgreen:

And I'm glad you like the Sober Catboy! :)

My goal is to heal. Helping people with addictions. I went through it myself. Kratom saved me from alcoholism.
My mission is to improve people's lives by enhancing their well-being with sensitivity to environmentalism and community. Hence the plant-based packaging and social media presence.

Anyways, I'm so so glad you liked it and looking forward to serving your needs for the foreseeable future. Hope you have a wonderful week! :)

Thanks for your reply.
My definition of bulk is buying from a U.S. supplier that supplies several other vendors or buying mass amounts from a farmer who also supplier other vendors.

I've tried them, purchased samples of all three before what is supposed to be a new white MD batch. It did not stand out as far as color or freshness or effects so it's one of those things where I say put it aside for a rainy day and maybe it'll surprise me later. But that very often happens whenever I try something new.

Thanks for clarifying, Nique!

I know exactly the kind of companies your are talking about. Like Breezy Trees! I didn't want that either. Instead, what I have is a mediator or arbiter.
They work, on my behalf, with many small farms - not one large one. They handle customs and quality control. I'm grateful to have their assistance because they help ensure reliably consistent quality.
Reliability is important for many people when looking for vendors. I am the only official kratom vendor they work with at this time.

Hi Lokey! Thanks for the feedback. When, approximately, did you buy your samples? Apologies if I am clueless, lol, but did you get the Super White or White MD in your sample pack?

It was from your 8/29/21 posting and I purchased 9/21 so I'm guessing super white.

Ah I see. Gotcha! Honestly, the new strains are much better. The White MD is universally praised, and I use it quite often myself. Haven't had a better white, actually. It's quite a pleasant, low anxiety experience.
Unlike my Red and Green MD, the white is more on the Nano end of things. More fluffy and soft, if you're into that.

Sorry for my late reply. Just got back from a week-long road trip to Vegas and SoCal for the White Label Expo.

I respect what you're doing. Love the logo, simplicity of 3 types of kratom you carry. I tried them and they are definitely legit kratom. I wouldn't diss your product based on the samples I had, I would say it's good kratom.

Unsure about sourcing from Fiji, never heard of that before, but Africa has some kratom farms, so why not Fiji?

Catboy is a turnoff to me. No need for gimmicks when the proof is in the kratom.

Thanks, dude! I appreciate that.

As for the catboy thing, it's something I enjoy doing. Youtube is becoming a passion for me and may possibly be my next career goal. I enjoy playing the character and it fits my personality.
Sorry that's a turnoff for you, but like you said! If the proof is in the kratom, then it doesn't matter. :D

I'm actually working on my next video today and am putting a lot of work into the editing. Been chipping away at it for months now. It will be about turning the blue lotus tincture into dried extract, but I'm trying to make it as entertaining as possible.

I've learned a lot about video editing and I enjoy acting and bringing all of my shots to life. The video will contain spliced funny cat memes to spice things up at comedically timed moments.
The whole cat thing makes my videos unique and memorable. Plus, I love cats. But I don't have any pets. The Catboy thing has also gotten me some welcomed attention from women who seem to like it, so that's an unexpected plus. :lol:
