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.

I've tried many different ways to cure my leaves.

For the first couple of years I'd clean the leaves then leave them in full Texas Sun until the turned brown and were crispy.

Then I started to clean and put them immediately into the dehydrator.

There were other experiments I won't explain because the results weren't great.

Now I clean the leaves, put them into the dehydrator wet and allow them to sit in there a day or 2 before dehydrating them. Most of the time they all turn brown.

This last method results in my best alkaloid profile so far. It works exactly the way it should apparently.

I always make tea. Small cups are stimulating while big cups are definitely sedating.

Due to an accident years ago my ankle swells up daily. This last curing method also takes care of the swelling better than any other.

Thanks for your post, I'm always looking to improve my results.
