About Us
We started Front Range Kratom in 2018 with the goal of providing people with a place they could trust to find safe, reliable, tested kratom. We found a farmer in Indonesia who has continued to provide us with consistent kratom powder since then. With virtually no advertising, we built our business customer by customer. Our loyal customers have stayed with us and referred their friends and family. It’s been rewarding to help so many people over the years as well as to expand the variety of kratom and other herbal products we are able to offer.
The process of our Kratom
Our farmer and his team begin the testing process before harvest. The trees are then monitored and assigned harvest intervals depending on the type of Kratom that is desired–greens, reds, whites, and supers. All Kratom is natural and not enhanced with extracts. The harvest data is logged for each tree and the leaves are sent to an on-site drying facility. The leaves are not exposed to sunlight during this process. Once dried, the leaves are then moved to the grinding mills where they are transformed into a fine nano powder and vacuum sealed in plastic packaging. The Kratom packages are then stored under ultraviolet light and subjected to gamma rays for sterilzation before shipment.
Third-Party Lab Tested
Before our kratom powder is shipped to us from our kratom farmer in Indonesia, it is tested there for heavy metals, e coli and salmonella. We also routinely retest the kratom powder here in the United States. Other products sold in our store (including capsules, gummies, extracts and beverages) have testing provided by the manufacturer.
Fun facts about our Kratom Strains
Green, red, and white Kratom are the only naturally grown strains of Kratom. Other popular types such as gold and yellow Kratom are mixes of different strain types. Chocolate Kratom is a red type that is put through a fermentation process. The strains are named after regions in Southeast Asia–Bali, Borneo, Thai–or by the shape of the leaf–Elephant, Devil, Horn. The popular Maeng Da strain is named after a giant Thai water bug, a common snack in the region, but also means “pimp grade” which is a term largely attributed to this famous strain in Kratom communities. Currently, our farmer produces 30-50 tons of these Kratom strains per month.
