Red Maeng Da Kratom

Red maeng da is a name on a label, not a separate plant. The products here are Mitragyna speciosa in powder and capsules, from Super Speciosa and Mitra Botanicals, plus our Whole Earth capsule sample pack.

A trade name and a color

Maeng da comes from Thai, where it names a giant water bug and one kind of kratom tree, and in slang means a pimp. On a package sold here it is a marketing name, and it says nothing about where the leaf grew or its quality. Red refers to how the leaf was dried and handled once it was picked. Our Kratom Guide explains maeng da and red kratom in detail.

FAQs

No. All three are Mitragyna speciosa. The color names describe drying and handling after picking.

Fewer brands sell a red under the maeng da name. Most reds we carry are sold as red bali or inside blends.

The products here are plain leaf, so yes. Start with the suggested serving printed on the package.
