Kratom is quickly becoming a popular natural beverage for those seeking a unique and versatile drink experience. Kratom powder, sourced from the Mitragyna speciosa tree (kratom plant), is used for making traditional kratom tea. The powder is made by drying and grinding raw kratom leaves. There are three main types of kratom based on when the leaves are harvested, similar to tea in that way. The alkaloid content varies as the leaves mature. So, the leaves change from white vein, to green vein, and finally to red vein through the maturing process. Many people struggle with how to make kratom tea from powder because they are unfamiliar with the brewing process. That is why we created this guide to help you make the perfect tea at home!

Some premium kratom powder from Ohana Kava Bar – Order Here
Hot water – we are talking about around 150-190°F. Do NOT use boiling water. It will damage the alkaloids. Good rule of thumb is to boil the water and then let it sit for 5 or so minutes. Water boils at 201°F in Colorado, 212°F at sea level.
Optional: Some type of filter – many people prefer to swallow the kratom powder, others prefer to filter it out. You will get most of the alkaloids by steeping in hot water for 15 minutes.
Optional: Ice to chill your kratom for enjoyment.
Optional: An airtight storage container for keeping in the refrigerator
For cold tea let your brewed hot kratom tea sit for a while to lower in temperature. Then pour it out, filtering the powder if you wish. Finally, pour into a glass with ice and any sweetener or flavors to shake (like a cocktail), allowing the tea to lower in temperature more. You can serve with or without ice.
For storing: put into an airtight container and put in the refrigerator or freezer after reaching room temperature. Kratom tea will last 5-7 days in the refrigerator, and up to 3 months in the freezer.
French press style makers are very efficient and helpful for brewing quality kratom tea at home.
