Red Vein · Classic profile
The benchmark red. Mature leaves sun-dried on open racks above the Kapuas — the traditional red protocol, unchanged in decades. Deep, heavy character; the red most distributors keep permanently in their line-up.
MOQ 25 kg · Samples up to 100g available · FOB Jakarta or DAP Rotterdam
Producer note
A red leaf is a mature leaf. We harvest from trees that have already dropped their younger flush — the leaves that remain have been photosynthesising for longer, with a higher 7-hydroxymitragynine fraction in the final alkaloid profile.
Sun-drying on elevated racks shifts that alkaloid balance further, driving oxidation of mitragynine into 7-HMG. It's slow (typically 48–72 hours, weather-dependent) and it's what makes a red a red — not the leaf colour, but the post-harvest chemistry.
For the end market
Sumatra Red is the benchmark red — the one customers compare other reds against. In catalogue copy: "classic," "grounded," "evening-use." Almost every private label carries a red SKU, and this is usually it.
Standard private-label sizes: 50g, 100g, 250g pouches. Encapsulation at 500mg is popular for the evening segment. Bulk contracts welcome — we hold regular production slots for this SKU.
Quality assurance
We run each production batch through an independent Indonesian laboratory for heavy metals, microbiological contamination (TPC, yeast/mould, Salmonella, E. coli), and alkaloid quantification. The Certificate of Analysis ships with every order — digitally and in the crate.
Logistics
We handle export documentation, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice and packing list. Shipments leave from Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) to Rotterdam, Hamburg, or Antwerp with typical transit of 28–35 days sea, or 4–7 days air.
