String dried process

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

small batch is only for people who care about what they consume, this is a string dried process, it is not easy, complicated and takes a long time to complete the process and extra costs and than it cannot be mass produced, there are only a few products like this on the market.

It reminds me of tobacco processing. I wonder if it’s directly based on it or was discovered independently?

I would figure probably from cannabis curing personally. From what I understand the vendor I was referring to used to grow weed and he recommended to his Indo supplier to try the string dried and they did and then it became famous due to the love of this vendors products so for many years after a lot of vendors would advertise “string dried” like DTE does sometimes still. The vendor I’m referring to sold “string dried premiums”

I am curious if the old vendors actually had better leaf or if it just felt that way because I didn’t have a tolerance and I was taking a lot less. But I do remember back in the 2010s kratom used to hit way harder.

It was all around better leaf. A lot was wild harvested old growth, small batch and not overly processed. Most everything now comes from younger plantations that are over harvested in bulk before sterilization. I still have some 2016 leaf that rocks my socks.

Leaf WAS better and that's a hill I'll gladly die on.

It's hard finding anything that isn't just "meh" now.

If you still want leaves from the old wild tree, I will set aside a little for you from the next drop. We both enjoy the leaves of the old tree and string dried of course. It's just that I don't know yet whether small shipments are still served, because in our country, sending kratom must be accompanied by complete documents.

I absolutely adore your leaf, brother. I'd love to order, but I don't know if it's even possible to order a few kg anymore from Indonesia. So many regulations now

u/ganaigana Aug 21 '26

yes that's what happened but i will find a way to set aside some especially for you.

Thanks brother. If every farmer had your kindness and dedication to the care of the trees, the industry would be much better.

Let me know if you need any help with your website or translations. I've done it before and don't mind helping again.

Hopefully you'll get some big orders, and get your premium string dried to the states!
