What real tea is

All traditional teas come from one plant — Camellia sinensis.

This plant produces:

  • black tea

  • green tea

  • oolong tea

  • white tea

  • pu-erh tea

Kratom belongs to an entirely different plant family.

Why kratom is controversial

In recent years kratom has gained attention in some countries as a herbal drink.

At the same time, it has also sparked debates and regulations in different parts of the world.

So when you see the phrase “kratom tea,” remember: it describes a brewing method — not a traditional tea.
