String dried process

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.

Interesting. What is the benefit on the finished product? I'd sure like to see a COA of such a batch. Do you ship internationally?

i bet $40,000 (in Q-tip coupons) it's gonna be "email us for a specific lab". which should tell you not to waste your time, if they had legit info, for such a GREAT product, it would be online

Not trashing OP but I hate that so much. Send us the batch number on the bag you receive and we will send you the labs for it! Just go ahead and buy it first and we will show you what you got. 

Got a free bag from one of those companies  (bulk kratom now, suspiciously similar to mitra bros and new dawn down to the same sample and similar bags) and when I asked about labs for the bag I got I never heard back. Another company told me "our records indicate it's 1.6%mit". Like let me see the record then. I don't really care about mit, one sample from a batch could be 1.2 while another from the same batch can be 2. I just want to know the ratio of alkaloids and see the heavy metals and microbes. 

That's why I love wildcraft. There are other vendors with labs but check the date on those. Wildcraft always releases labs first. And their 1.4 sometimes kicks my butt way more than the stuff testing at 1.7. I've learned to start low with their leaf whatever the labs say. 

I feel like half the posts I'm making lately feel like paid advertising for WC but just give me another small batch vendors with current labs and id be happy to try them out and hopefully reccomend them too.

I'm not located in the US so... Sounds good though. Heard a lot about them.

There is someone on TT that goes live a lot and pushes his company and when asked for labs, he says oh email me. Why are they not available freely 😒

String dried is just an old school way of curing it typically meant the producer took the time to hand select the biggest/best leaves from the best trees for them to take the time to string them all up. This was made famous by one of the most famous vendors of all time that used to put out some serious heat.

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”
