We’re here to change the way people view kratom trees.
We founded Top Tree Herbs to do two things: first, to provide a more intentional, tasty way to consume kratom and second, to reduce the stigma and misinformation that commonly surrounds the kratom plant.
That’s why we craft crushed-leaf kratom tea instead of other types of kratom; that’s why we take every opportunity to advocate for better kratom regulation and consumer education; and that’s why we don’t play the misleading marketing games that other kratom companies are playing.
A group of advocates disguised as a tea company.
Our company was founded by two friends, Soren and Sam, who both loved ethnobotany, pharmacology, and (of course) kratom. They had each seen loved ones suffer because of the War on Drugs, and wanted to do their part to end it.
Before starting Top Tree, Soren helped produce the third season of Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia and Sam worked in cannabis quality control. They combined their passions and created kratom tea bags to give kratom lovers an option that was packaged just like any other tea, free of the stigma that’s often associated with kratom.
Why crushed-leaf tea?
Kratom has been a popular herb for supporting mood, energy, comfort, and rest for centuries. Traditionally, people in Southeast Asia (where kratom trees grow naturally) would brew freshly picked kratom leaves in hot water to make tea. Yet in the US, kratom is mainly available as a powder or a concentrated extract, not as a tea.
We founded Top Tree Herbs to change that. We’ve spent the last five years reintroducing people to kratom—the whole plant, not just the powder.
We craft crushed-leaf kratom teas so you can indulge in the experience of brewing and drinking kratom tea, just as you would indulge in a mug of chai, ginger tea, or your favorite coffee drink. It’s a new way to experience the effects of kratom that you love.
Made for adventurers (and homebodies, too).
The Top Tree Herbs crew is kind-of-sort-of-very-much in love with the mountains, from the rugged peaks of the Rockies that we call home to the mountains of Southeast Asia. In between our days spent making kratom tea, we head outdoors for adventures, and we never go without kratom on hand.
Our goal is to make products that support focus, motivation, and recovery—whether you’re at the office, relaxing at home, or climbing up a cliff. We’re thrilled to bring you kratom that will remind you of the mountains and inspire you, no matter where you are.
Destigmatizing kratom, one cup at a time.
We’re on a mission to change the public perception of kratom and make your kratom experience better as a result. We created kratom tea bags not just because they make the best tea, but because we want to provide kratom lovers with a traditional, convenient, and familiar way to consume kratom. It’s the type of kratom you could comfortably share with family and friends.

We value your wellbeing as much as we value our own.
Our commitment: making tea that can support you for the long term, not just for a week or a month.
We take a number of critical steps to protect our customers’ wellbeing. We have all of our kratom independently lab-tested for quality and alkaloid composition, and we follow all Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) when crafting our teas and other products.
