Some cities and counties are blocked too, including parts of Florida, California, Washington, and Idaho.
Where can I buy Sakti kratom online?
Shop Kratom has the wild-harvested powder, crushed leaf, sample packs, and split kilos. Free USPS Priority starts at $75. You can also pick up in Asheville or find 1 oz and 4 oz pouches at listed retail shops.
Can I pick up an order at the Asheville shop?
Yes! If you are in WNC you will see a local pickup option at checkout. Your order is usually immediately available at our shop located on 481 Hendersonville Road, Asheville, NC 28803. Hours are Monday through Wednesday 12 to 5, Thursday through Saturday 10 to 7, closed Sunday. Bring your receipt.
Do you sell Sakti in other stores?
Yes. Find a Store lists shops that carry our 1 oz and 4 oz packs, including Hot Spot locations. Some Hot Spots run an in-store two 4 oz special. Hours and stock are set by each retailer. The Asheville dispensary is our own counter.
What is in a sample pack?
A sample pack is three 1oz or 4oz packets of each variety. It includes one Green Maeng Da, one Red Maeng Da, and one White Borneo packet in smaller sizes so you can try before you buy a bulk size. It is the same wild-harvested, lab-tested leaf as the larger pouches.
What is a split kilo?
A split kilo is one kilo of powder split across the strains you choose, at kilo pricing instead of three separate smaller bags. Mix Green, Red, and White Borneo in the amounts on the product page. It’s basically a bulk variety pack. It is NOT a blend of different strains mixed together.

The leaf
What is kratom?
Kratom is a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family. It grows across Southeast Asia, including the forests of Borneo where we harvest. Sakti sells dried leaf as powder and crushed leaf, packed in Asheville. We do not sell extracts.
What strains and colors does Sakti sell?
We sell named strains from our wild-harvested Borneo lineup: Premium Green Maeng Da, Premium Red Maeng Da, and Premium White Borneo, plus Green Borneo crushed leaf for tea. Green Maeng Da is sun-dried quickly for a bright green color and fresh aroma. Red Maeng Da is partially sun dried, then finished in shade. White Borneo is shade-dried slowly. All of it is hand-picked from ancient trees in Borneo.
Which Sakti product should I start with?
If you have not tried our leaf yet, start with a sample pack of Green, Red, and White. That is the same wild-harvested powder as the larger pouches. Once you know a favorite, shop that strain by the ounce or step up to a split kilo. Crushed leaf is the tea format.
What is wild-harvested kratom vs plantation kratom?
Sakti leaf is hand-picked from wild trees in Borneo, not grown as a plantation cash crop using harsh pesticides. Our harvest team works in the forest locals call Sakti Hutan. We believe wild-harvested Kratom is the superior option!
Is your kratom lab tested?
Yes, and you can see 3rd party results, not just a badge. Every pouch has a QR code tied to that batch number. You can also view lab results on SC Labs. Lots are tested in Indonesia before they leave and again in the United States after they arrive. We quarantine the lot until the US labs clear.
How do I read the QR code and batch lab result?
Find the QR on your pouch, open your camera app and scan it, then match your bag’s batch number to the SC Labs listing. You can also find all of our past and current results.
How do you prepare kratom powder or crushed leaf?
Mix the powder into a small amount of water, or juice if you don't like the earthy and bitter taste. Throw it in a smoothie or protein shake to really mask the taste. Brew crushed leaf like any other tea. Always consult your doctor before using kratom. We cannot provide medical advice.
What makes Sakti different?
We have a real working relationship with our team in Indonesia and import in small batches instead of buying anonymous export lots. Leaf is wild-harvested, washed, and dried in Borneo, then milled in a clean facility with food-safe equipment. Every pouch gets a QR lab result. We focus on truly clean products and transparency.
