Shaman’s Garden proudly offers Bali kratom leaf in two different forms, both as a powdered and a crushed kratom incense. Our kratom leaf incenses from Bali are plain leaf, without the addition of a kratom extract. You can make an extract from them or use them “as-is” in aromatherapy applications or as an incense. Bali kratom leaf is rising in popularity as the gold standard for kratom incense in Indonesia, where most commercial kratom farms are located.
Now for the basics: Bali kratom is a strain of Red Vein Kratom with darker reddish leaves. As a Red Vein variety, Bali kratom leaf is generally thought to have a more relaxing aura compared to the more energizing White Vein varieties. Despite the name, these days most Bali kratom is actually grown in Borneo, even though it was probably originally from Bali, a smaller island in the Indonesian archipelago. Why did the name Bali kratom stick?
One reason might be that most of the ports where Bali kratom is exported to the West are still located in Bali. As kratom becomes more internationalized, the names that once associated kratom strains with a specific country of origin, such as Thai Red Vein or Borneo White Vein, have become more fluid; strains that used to be found only in one area are now grown on farms in multiple regions of Southeast Asia, as well as in India and some Western countries. Now origin names for kratom are more likely to refer to the strain’s appearance and chemical properties than any specific region where it was grown.
As for Bali kratom leaf, in the kratom community this variety is thought to be a good starter strain for people who have never worked with kratom before. Although environmental and growing conditions can affect the chemical properties of the leaf, in general kratom from Bali has a well-balanced alkaloid content and tends to be relaxing when used in aromatherapy treatments. A good rule to remember is that Red Vein kratoms are generally thought to be relaxing while White Vein varieties and Maeng Da kratom are more energizing. All in all, Bali kratom leaf offers a pleasant balance and aroma at a quite affordable price.
