Green Sumatra is very popular among kratom enthusiasts. I highly suggest using Green Sumatra during the day, as taking it late in the evening can prevent you from falling asleep.
If this strains sounds like something you might be interested in, then keep reading!
What is Green Sumatra Kratom?
Kratom is offered in four color categories, including:
1. Yellow
2. Red
3. Green
4. White
Each color offers roughly the same effects, and usually only differ with regard to potency. For example, Green Sumatra offers the same benefits as Green Maeng Da. However, Green Maeng Da is much more potent.
The name of each strain is usually provided based on the location where it was founded. Therefore, we know that Green Sumatra was created on the island of Sumatra.
What Does Green Sumatra Taste Like?
However, I can also taste the earthy undertones. Many claim Green Sumatra tastes like matcha, and I have to completely agree.
Even though kratom powder is very fine, the texture seems to be equally as difficult for some people to tolerate as the taste. The powder is not cyrstallized like salt or sugar, it's much softer and more fine.
Green Sumatra Kratom Side Effects
There are two reasons why I have experienced side effects:
1. Not Drinking Enough Water
The results are usually:
1. Dry Mouth
2. Constipation
As you can imagine the solution is to drink more water! Hence, I drank 3-4 cups of water as fast as possible to rehydrate my body.
However, it took 30-60 minutes for the side effects to reverse.
1. Taking Too Much
If you accidentally or intentionally take large amounts of Green Sumatra, the outcome may be:
1. Nausea
2. Vomit
I've never experienced kratom induced vomiting. However, I can't say the same about nausea. It is VERY uncomfortable. I can boldly claim it's the worst nausea I've ever felt.
Vomiting occurs when the nausea is extremely severe. Unfortunately, there is nothing I have found that can mitigate these side effects.
Fortunately, neither the dehydration induced side effects, nasuea, or vomiting are lethal. They just happen to be the most common, and they go away on their own within an hour or two.

Therefore, take a look at the table below to get a good understanding of where to start.
Just keep in mind that you shouldn't take Green Sumatra twice in the same day, as doing so is very likely to produce side effects.

Under 150 | 1 | 1 | |
150-175 | 2 | 3 | |
175-200 | 3 | 4 | |

How Long Does Green Sumatra Take to Kick in?
For example, tea produces much faster results when compared to capsules.
Take a look at the table below to get an idea of how fast the effects are produced according to how Green Sumatra is used.
How To Use Green Sumatra Kratom
Green Sumatra Capsules
Pros:
- No bad flavors
Cons:
- Higher cost
- Take the longest to kick in
- Effects are slightly less potent
At Kratom Monkey, our capsules hold 0.7 grams of powder and are made with vegan material to protect those with allergic reactions.
Green Sumatra Tea
- Kicks in super fast
- Potent results
Cons:
- Effects don't last as long
- Pungent bitter taste
Tea kicks in the fastest, in as quickly as 5 minutes. However, it's highly inconvenient, which is why it's my least favorite way of taking Green Sumatra.
If you decide to prepare tea, make sure to never boil Green Sumatra, as doing so will destroy the alkaloids and reduce the potency.
Toss & Wash
- Kicks in fast
- Potent results
- Lowest cost
Cons:
- Extremely bitter taste
- Some people may not enjoy the powdery texture
The toss and wash is my favorite way of using Green Sumatra, as it produces fast and potent results.
The toss and wash consists of taking a spoonful of powder in your mouth, swirling it around with water, and gulping it down. The taste and texture is too much for some people to bear, but if you can tolerate it, the results are worth it.
