CRISP #126 and Freeze Dried Whole Leaf

[Voice_of_Morgulduin]

Just received first shipment from Crisp.

Incredibly pricey, but with coupon Kratom202 its 20% off. Honestly will probably order a big bag to stock up and then stick with cheaper vendors from there on out. Just way too high above market value to stick with this vendor for long. No Kratom is that good.

HOWEVER:
Got the most recent batch # 126 at 2.08% mit and it is some supreme stuff. It's incredibly fresh (although not any fresher than competitors with more reasonable pricing) and has a nice green color, smell, flavor - all of which Crisp are known for.

The powder was very strong and had insane legs. Slow onset - about one hour. FULL burn for 3+ hours, moderate effects after 4 hours, lingering effects up to 6 hours. The burn itself didn't feel particularly special beyond the fact that it SMACKED. Will probably keep a fat bag around for when really need a hit.

*EDIT: Contacted him about the whole leaf. Apparently they're still figuring things out with the freeze drying/packaging process and have since switched to a new method. He assured me of higher quality from here on out as a result of this new method. He also offered a free 100g bag to make it right. Very transparent, good customer service. *

That said - I was immediately disappointed with the freeze dried whole leaf. It does not even appear remotely close to what is pictured on the website. I was expecting whole, green leaves (dried) - and it is advertised as for "chewing or brewing" - at least 70% of the bag was completely brown and brittle (like dead leaves in the fall), the whole bag gave off the stench of decay, and about 30% was crumbs. It is basically unchewable as it is so crumbly and brown - would be like chewing dirt and sand. I emailed the owner to see if this is standard as I've seen posters on reddit who have recieved it as advertised. I have not heard back, but will update review if the situation is rectified.
