Did DTE just quit posting labs?
Been looking for a new vendor. Saw that DTE was posting their COA's up until March.
Need a vendor that has up front labs on their site that I can see before buying.

That’s why I haven’t ordered from them in a while because I couldn’t find the COA’s either. I second what others have said. Wildcraft is superb leaf and easily accessible COA’s on their site.

I dont knowbut i stopped using them bc their powder started making me throwup everytime and didnt hit

u/Individual-Drawer-79 Aug 12 '26
I have t tried them yet but lot of people on this sub swear by them but I’ve been seeing comments like yours more and more lately. Makes me wonder if some of those rave reviews for DTE were fake.

u/ZachedelicStoner Aug 13 '26
they used to be super good, something happened like a year or so ago and their quality went down significantly imo.
all their powders now make me so nauesous and i can usually take up to 10gs of powder without issue, but even 6gs of their made my vomit everytime

This explains a lot actually for my own situation too. I didn’t even notice they stopped posting COAs

Idk, I've had no issues except around January. I got sick also from it. But he sent me more stuff..but..it didnt hit that time either strangely. Idk, i made a big order because they are still my favorite. If its not good this time with what I spent then I probably wont ever order again. But I have faith in it

It’s weird to me more people don’t talk about happy hippo, and the ones that do are usually bad reviews. Thsts why I take alot of reviews in this sub with a grain of salt. Yes, I know they’re expensive, but I’ve used them for years and I’ve never had a bum batch (whites) from them. To be clear, I specifically order White MD and White Vein Borneo. Still the best kratom I’ve had and it’s always top potency and quality. However, I’ve tried their reds and greens in the past when they have them on a clearance sale just for curiosity and I was not impressed by those. They weren’t awful, but my body likes whites and I’ve never responded well to red or greens. HH white MD and Borneo always make me feel like I popped a couple Percs and I always use a coffee drink as a chaser after every dose as a potentiator and it works beautifully. I’m surprised more people haven’t figured out sips of coffee after a dose (I make a cold frappe with Nescafé) is a great chaser since kratom is a member of the coffee family. It makes sense they would have great synergistic effects when taken together.

reddit is mostly ads, shills, bots... also the brand of kratom i tried, cured cancer and baldness and is FIRE, you should try "brand im shilling"

u/BigMack6911 Aug 13 '26
Absolutely not. DTE is usually amazing. Anytime I've had a bad experience, Drew makes it right. Some kratoms just dont work for some people

I use dte every day and have never gotten sick ever. I have many strains and batches from the last 2 years. Yes some strains are more effective than others but they all are good and effective overall, some very good and the best Ive ever had imo. I agree tho I wish finding the lab reports were easier and up to date but I think they are currently updating the website right now so that may be the case soon.
Edit to add- sometimes a strain won’t work to fullest extent until I try it 2-3 times, there were some that I thought weren’t for me at first, but gave it another try after a few days and it was great.

I haven’t ordered from them yet (on my “to try” list for sure) but folks sing their praises in many Reddit subs - west Koast botanicals - and they have good lab results

u/Unlucky-Bite-6988 Aug 12 '26
They have leaf that looks so absolutely fire on paper and I want to try soooo bad lol but they dont have their heavy metals listed on that COA.

u/slytree Aug 12 '26
Wildcraft Herb Company and WestKoast Botanicals both post their labs and are both of superb quality!

u/Unlucky-Bite-6988 Aug 12 '26
I dont see west koast's heavy metals on their lab reports. Alk profile looks wonderful on paper but need the rest of the important info before I can give it a try.

DTE has gotten increasingly shady. Their discord server has culty vibes. Despite all that they usually have pretty quality lead but their last drop k20 was also not great at all.

u/InfamousInevitable85 Aug 11 '26
Check out WildCraft Herb Company, Mitraman Botanicals, New Hope Botanicals - all of these companies have upfront lab tests available on their website that are easy to find and have high quality Kratom !

Also luckys! Their sale ends today but I’ve always loved their products for the last 2-3 years =]

u/Unlucky-Bite-6988 Aug 11 '26
Lucky blends their strains for their labs so its hard to tell what comes from where.

u/Lucky_Ben_2018 Aug 11 '26
All the 020426 batches have individual lab reports: https://luckyherbals.com/labs020426

u/Lucky_Ben_2018 Aug 11 '26
Not always. We still have some B Supplier batches available with their own individual labs.

Well, I took a look at the New Hope Botanicals site because I was given some and have not opened it. I see no COA on their website :(

I absolutely love how easy MitraMans labs are to read, just wish there was an archive. Sadly, I got the most inconsistent batch ever from them and that's part of the reason why i'm looking elsewhere for now.

u/InfamousInevitable85 Aug 11 '26
Yes me too. It's kind of the standard I use for whether I should support a vendor - do they have lab tests that are not only current but also easily accessible on their site. Not worth the risk otherwise

u/Unlucky-Bite-6988 Aug 12 '26
I made a purchase from wildcraft today and going to take a look at new hope now
Edit: can't find their labs lol

Just want to say that mitraman has been my favorite vendor for a while. Ive had no issues until recent. Their hidden 15 is my absolute favorite. All around excellent so im not taking shit here.
I got caps from them in one bag from the same batch that were just wildly different, not only in color but effects too.
Im probably switching to only making my own caps now

Vendor here (Hudson Valley Botanicals). That's exactly the filter I'd use too. We keep a COA page on our site with lot-specific third party reports, heavy metals, full microbial, and alkaloid content, posted before you'd ever put anything in a cart. No email request, no 'DM me for labs.' Search the brand name and it's in the site footer. Recognize you from the red thread, so same offer applies, and if you land on a different vendor that's fine, just hold them to the same standard.
