What Is White Borneo Kratom Powder?
White Borneo refers to a white-vein kratom strain that was discovered on the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo. White kratom strains are named after the bright vein colors found on their leaves. Although every kratom hybrid has green leaves, the vein color often signals different traits, such as total alkaloid percentage, harvest time, and age.
Indonesian cultivators need to harvest White Borneo early in the season to capture these white veins. As kratom strains like Borneo mature, the leaves’ veins will change from white to green to red veins. Customers often see White Borneo sold alongside its “relatives” Red and Green Borneo.
Since White Borneo is so specific to the Borneo region, customers must double-check where their kratom comes from. If a kratom vendor isn’t working with native Indonesian farmers, chances are you aren’t getting authentic White Borneo kratom powder. The Golden Monk has spent years building relationships with cultivators throughout Southeast Asia to ensure the authenticity of our kratom strains.
What Makes White Borneo Unique?
Many kratom customers who buy White Borneo kratom are blown away by its intense appearance and aromatics. White vein Borneo has a reputation for its many powerful attributes, which may be due to its unique genetic composition.
White-vein kratom strains have higher amounts of the alkaloid mitragynine rather than 7-hydroxymitragynine. It can’t be said for sure why or how these alkaloids affect White Borneo kratom, but many customers suggest they may help distinguish it from similar strains.
People who buy kratom consistently rave about White Borneo’s intense attributes. Experienced kratom collectors may most appreciate the eye-catching features White Borneo powder brings to the table.
How Does White Borneo Kratom Powder Smell?
White Borneo’s predominately earthy scent may mimic odors like woods, pine, or fresh-cut grass. Customers also use words like “sharp” and “bitter” to describe White Borneo’s aromatics.
Please remember that White Borneo kratom doesn’t undergo a lengthy fermentation process like many red-vein kratom hybrids. Instead, White Borneo leaves are harvested very early in the season. Since White Borneo kratom leaves don’t have time to mature, they won’t take on any of the “funky” notes often associated with fermentation. Instead, White Borneo powder will likely have a clean earthy “bite” that can be a bit off-putting if people aren’t used to kratom.
What Kratom Strains Resemble White Borneo Kratom?
If you can’t find White Borneo kratom powder for some reason, White Bali is the best substitute strain. Confusingly, Bali kratom strains originate in the same region as Borneo. Kratom vendors only named this strain “Bali” because it was closely associated with Bali’s trading port. In reality, all authentic Bali cultivars grow in Borneo’s Indonesian territory.
White Borneo and White Bali are so similar that many experienced kratom collectors have difficulty separating the two. Not only do these strains come from the same region, they’re harvested at the same time. Plus, both White Borneo kratom and White Bali have similarly high concentrations of mitragynine.
It’s unlikely you won’t find White Borneo and White Bali on a reputable kratom website. However, if you’re still looking for a White Borneo substitute, it’s best to stick with any white-vein kratom cultivar. There’s a better chance your kratom will mimic White Borneo if it has the standard properties in a white-vein strain.
Please resist the urge to buy a Red or Green Borneo powder hoping that it will mimic White Borneo. There are significant distinctions between red, green, and white strains, even if you’re shopping within the same kratom family.
Who Should Buy White Borneo Kratom Powder?
Generally speaking, White Borneo is best suited for experienced kratom customers. This isn’t to say new shoppers can’t buy White Borneo kratom, but this strain tends to have intense attributes. People not already accustomed to kratom powder may find it tough to deal with White Borneo’s aromatics.
Most first-time kratom buyers have an easier time appreciating green-vein kratom strains with a more even mix of alkaloids. For instance, new customers often gravitate to Green Malay, Green Bali, or even Green Borneo before trying a white-vein strain.
After a few months of learning the distinctions between various kratom strains, you will probably be in a better position to appreciate White Borneo kratom powder. Again, it’s not necessary to start with green kratom strains, but some people find that White Borneo’s scent is too abrasive for fresh kratom customers.
