The specific smell and taste of kratom: Where does it come from and how can it possibly be eliminated?

Most users of kratom agree that its specific taste and smell are most memorable. It is very distinctive and specific only for the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree. Why is kratom so aromatic?

The aroma of kratom is really specific, it is characterized by an earthy smell with a hint of grass, then its taste is earthy with bitter undertones. This smell can be influenced by many factors, such as freshness, alkaloid content and others, which can also determine the quality of the given product very precisely. Let's focus on the smell and taste of kratom a little more!

You will learn everything important in the following paragraphs!

Why is the smell of kratom so hard to describe?

We often meet users who know the smell and taste of kratom very well, but cannot describe it. Yes, we recognize it from the smell of freshly cut grass in the garden, but most people cannot describe this aroma in more detail. 

In most cases, they agree that the fragrance has a characteristic earthy and grassy undertone. However, different types of kratom also have different aromas and it is very difficult to navigate them, so let's introduce the basic factors that directly affect the aroma of kratom. 

Factors affecting the taste and aroma of kratom

Specific vein and trunk

As I'm sure many of you already know, we divide kratom by the color of its veins and by strains. Each vein and each strain has slightly different alkaloid profiles, which influence the aroma and effects themselves. 

Preparation and packaging

Throughout the process leading up to delivery to the end customer, there are many factors that can affect taste and aroma. Whether it's the packaging itself or the form in which kratom is prepared, for example capsules, they mask their smell in a case and it's often hard to tell which capsules they are. 

Rich in alkaloids

The bitterness of kratom is for the most part caused by the alkaloids, which are found in different quantities in each strain and each vein, and their ratio also varies. For example types of kratom with a higher content of mitragynine, they will be more bitter, since this alkaloid is the main builder of the bitterness of kratom itself. 

Contamination

This factor is mostly encountered by users who buy capsules from unverified sellers. Because, for example, during the production process, impurities can get into the capsules, which will affect the smell and taste of the kratom itself. 

How to know the taste of kratom?

Now let's take a look at some of the differences you can tell between the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree and what they symbolize in each case. 

Earthy and herbal notes

It reminds us of the taste of soil and grass, which are underlined by herbal undertones. Some people like this strong taste, others find it very unpleasant, opinions differ greatly in this regard. The distinct aroma symbolizes the freshness of the product itself.

Sweet vs. bitter

If we wanted to simplify it, the sweeter - the weaker. In general, kratoms with a lower alkaloid content (the main one being mitragynine) are sweeter than those with a higher content. The higher content of alkaloids causes the already well-known bitter taste, which cannot be easily forgotten. So if you're looking for some strong and quality kratom fix, you should focus on the more bitter ones. 

Can kratom cravings be fought?

As we mentioned above, the taste of kratom may not be pleasant for everyone, and many people are looking for some way to eliminate it. Let's focus more on some ways and discuss them:

Capsules and extract

The simplest option is to use other forms than is kratom powder. Nowadays, capsules or kratom drops. In this way, you can completely eliminate the smell and taste of the kratom itself. So this is a very promising alternative if you do not identify with the aroma of kratom. 

Smoothie

In one of the previous articles we also mentioned fruit smoothies as one of the options for preparing kratom. In this way, you will use fruits that you like, supplement the necessary vitamins, and also suppress the aroma of kratom. You can sweeten your drink with stevia or sugar, for example, to take your pleasure to an even higher level. 

In addition, citrus fruits act as potentiators for kratom, resulting in increased effects even at lower doses!

Conclusion

In this article, we have described the basic information about kratom aromas and how you can deal with them if you do not like them. In this regard, the freshness of the strain itself is also important, as with increasing time, in addition to the alkaloid content, its aroma and taste also decrease. So, if your kratom doesn't have any scent, it's likely that its potency will already be considerably lower due to the expiration time. Kratom storage is one of the important roles in a quality kratom experience, so don't hesitate to a read the article on this topic as well. 

Again, we must emphasize the importance of buying kratom only from verified sellers. If you choose to buy from an unknown seller, you may end up with low-quality kratom that may exhibit many side effects and unwanted impurities.
