I will modify this post to say what I think Kratom tastes like after I take a few doses. For now I'm writing about the 1 strain I've had.

A little info on myself: I'm used to the following homeopathic and for lack of better terms "hippie type goodies"

1. Kombucha
2. Green Tea Matcha
3. Plain yogurt (homemade)
4. Unsweet tea
5. Blue green algea

I got interested about Kratom a few weeks ago so jumped into research, I'm the youngest of 3 girls and my middle sister has lupus, oldest sister has some other autoimmune disease gets migraines all the time And until recently I was the healthiest, not in pain.

I started a job a few months ago and with it came a pain that simply won't go away... Its not normal, I suspect maybe I might have lupus too, but the doctors will let Me know later. Anyway i'm trying Kratom mostly for my sisters who are on all sorts of meds, And also to find relief myself.

Well yesterday I received my sample pack 2.5 oz each green & white Bali and 2 oz Red

Got home late at night so after reading on dosages quickly I decided to start with 3g of red.... Wow that looked like a ton!!

Mixed the red with plain water (about 4 oz) Swooshed it around in my glass until it all incorporated, to me it looked like a darker matcha and Green blue algea. Over heard about how bitter K is so I quickly drank the entire 4 oz and immediately 1 gulp of water, then poured another 2 oz water into the Glass and swooshed that around to get the particles that were stuck to the glass and drank that.

It was bitter but compared to all the hippie stuff I'm used to it honestly wasn't any worse than as I mentioned what it looked like in the slurry I made, matcha blue green algae. Not bad, not bad.... Nor good but not bad. I can get used to that :)

I laid on the couch with my BF & cat and eventually passed out. Still felt a little pain in my ligaments so maybe it wasn't a high enough dose? But I did notice when I had to eventually get up to go to bed my feet weren't as painful as they usually are, again I still felt pain but it was lesser. Think I need to up my dose? Was thinking about doing 3.5g of white to start my day (or should it be green?)

So again as far as taste goes, I also feel it tasted similar to matcha and blue green algae with a slightly drier aftertaste not too bitter... Then again I do like my coffee black too. Overall I feel that if you aren't used to things like I have exposed myself to my whole life, then you probably would find Kratom to be super bitter... I'll be getting up right now to drink a slurry of white now while I wait for responses 😛

That was my quick review of my first taste of Kratom :) thanks for reading!
