Mitragyna Speciosa – commonly known as Kratom – is an evergreen tropical tree. M.Speciosa grows mainly in areas of Southeast Asia. The natural ecosystems of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand are home to most of the 'wild' M.Speciosa. Under the right conditions in these tropical jungles, the height of the plants exceeds 15 meters.
The first written accounts of the use of Kratom by indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia date back 150 years. They reported that chewing the leaves had stimulating effects and greatly helped with hard manual work, while boiling them into tea had analgesic and relaxing effects. Considering that the tree is native to various countries in Southeast Asia, it is a reasonable assumption that its traditional use by local societies has a history of thousands of years.
After harvesting, most varieties of M.speciosa are subjected to controlled drying processes before being pulverized into a powder to reach their final form. A different process is followed for the Bentuangie varieties. Bentuangie varieties undergo fermentation. Instead of their leaves being dried "normally", they are placed in bags. The bags trap the moisture and the leaves start to ferment. The fermentation process is thought to promote the properties of M.speciosa leaves producing unique, special samples.
