Final Review
Life has been pretty hectic right now, so just now getting to a review of the products!
Both Red Bali and Gold Hulu Kapuas
Packaging:
Packaging is always great, and I like the design and graphic on the bag. Easy to open. Easy to seal. Durable.
Kratom Consistency:
Very fine, the consistency of flour.
Kratom Aroma:
An earthy scent, akin to tea. The aroma is pleasant.
Kratom Taste:
They both have a very tolerable taste. I am a very picky eater, have texture issues regarding food, and I am able to toss and wash, or mix with water and drink. It is an earthy taste, duh, it's ground leaf. The best way to take Kratom if you have taste and texture issues is to toss the Kratom in your mouth, and wash it down with grapefruit juice.
Red Bali Effects:
At low/moderate dose, between 2 and 5 grams, it provides euphoria, and a non jittery rush of energy. I will say, it is still relaxing, but there is energy in the onset of the dose at a low/mod low dose. Over time it does translate more into relaxation, with energy levels dropping off. At a single 8gram dose, you don't get the same rush of energy, but you also don't get sedated. You get a mood boost and relaxation that lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. The pain relief at both low and high doses is great with Red Bali! You can definitely feel your muscles relax, and aches and pains begin to diminish. The Kratom was darker than the Gold. This Kratom is a great Kratom for both morning and evening because it was not sedating; you should have no issue working, driving, or performing active tasks while taking Red Bali. I personally enjoyed using it daily while working.
Gold Hulu Kapuas Experience:
This Kratom is a very mild and subtle Kratom compared to the Red Bali, in my opinion of use at least. That is not a bad thing. It provides a very chill type feeling, best way to describe it. Stimulation and mood boost is mild, so if you wanted something less stimulating, this is the Kratom you should try. The pain relief was surprisingly great, and very comparable to the Red Bali in that regard. This Kratom is also good to take at any time during the day, and will not hinder you from performing any active tasks.
Overall, if you enjoy Kratom, pick up these two, and add them to your rotation!
