What is Yellow Kratom?
Kratom, a one-of-a-kind botanical from Southeast Asia, is becoming recognized as a natural health alternative across the globe; similar to CBD. Natives of Southeast Asia have been using Kratom in ancient medicine practices for centuries, but it hasn’t been popular in the United States until recently. Within the last 5 years, we’ve seen exponential growth in the Kratom community. With extensive growth comes responsibility. We want to make sure consumers everywhere have access to trustworthy advice regarding Kratom.
Kratom comes from the Mitragyna Speciosa tree and it can be found in numerous strains. The most common way to classify strains is by the vein color presented on the face of the Kratom leaf. There are Red Vein Kratom strains, Green Vein Kratom strains, White Vein Kratom strains, and the lesser known, more elusive Yellow Vein Kratom strains.
Yellow Kratom is extremely unique and different from all other strains. Because of how unique it is, people tend to question how Yellow Vein Kratom is actually produced.
In this article, we are going to dive deeper into the controversy surrounding Yellow Vein Kratom. We hope this information helps you develop a better understanding of Kratom. If you’re looking for more information about Kratom in general, we have so many articles in our Kratom Blog that will help.
The Speculative Origins of Yellow Kratom
The color of the veins on Kratom leaves help farmers determine the plants optimal harvest time. Unlike the other vein colors, “Yellow” does not refer to the actual vein color on the leaf when it’s harvested. Instead, it is believed that farmers use White Vein Kratom leaves in a very special drying process to create the yellow hue. It requires a much longer drying time than other strains.
However, the true method of producing Yellow Kratom continues to be a mystery. There are plenty of theories referring to how it’s made, but in our opinion, this theory is the most logical. The different drying process for Yellow Kratom sort of relates to Bentuangie Kratom, which undergoes a fermentation process after harvesting. This is why that theory is so convincing to us.
Other Theories on the Origins of Yellow Kratom
Here are some other theories about the origin of Yellow Kratom…
-
Some people believe that Yellow Kratom is actually a blend of White, Red, and Green Kratom strains that get mixed together by farmers during harvest.
-
Some claim that Yellow Kratom is all of the leaves that were left to mature longer than all other strains. Some Kratom trees are not harvested for an extended period of time, allowing their leaves to reach an unusually long life-span. If this theory is true, that would make Yellow Kratom the 4th stage of the Kratom tree life-cycle. This theory does not seem consistent with evidence.
What is the Difference between Yellow Kratom and Gold Kratom?
Contrary to what people believe, “Yellow” and “Gold” Kratom are the same thing. However, “Gold” or “Royal” Kratom refers to an exceptionally high-quality Yellow strain. The terms are used interchangeably.
At Happy Hippo, we carry a couple of Yellow strains that we refer to as “Gold” quality. Examples include (Gold Bali) Royal Golden and (Yellow/Gold Maeng Da) Sunshine Hippo.
How is Yellow Kratom Different from Other Kratom Strains?
As we mentioned earlier, Yellow Kratom undergoes a totally different drying process than other Kratom strains. The alternative method of processing the leaves causes the white veins to turn yellow and creates a totally different alkaloid profile - resulting in distinct effects.
Yellow Kratom strains are super effective for uplifting your mood and creating a positive mindset. They have a very soothing effect that tends to be more balanced than other strains. Some people even say that the resonation from Yellow Kratom strains lasts exceptionally long.
What are Kratom Speeds?
Kratom speeds categorize strains based on their overall resonation and effects on a spectrum between Energy and Relaxation. Happy Hippo developed this technique to help our customers who are new to Kratom better understand what effects a certain strain will provide without being too focused on the vein color or origin.
The Kratom Speeds are Fast, Moderate, or Slow.
-
Fast Speed Kratom = Energy/Motivation/Productivity
-
Moderate Speed Kratom = Balance between Fast and Slow
-
Slow Speed Kratom = Relaxation/Discomfort Relief/Restful Sleep
The concepts of Fast, Moderate, and Slow in relation to other strains is clearly displayed on our Kratom Strain Chart.
