First Coast Tea Company Reviews

Hi all, I'm new here. I used to post around the Kratom Connoisseurs forum way back in 2012? Before they closed down but it looks like there is a new one up. Also was on various facebook groups and used to post on Reddit. So hello ! I've been using krarom for a long time off and on.
I didn't see a thread for First Coast Tea company so I decided to start one. They used to be known as SoCal Herbal Remedies.
In my current state I use way too much kratom (and Ibuprofen) ever since I was bit by a tick and my pain levels soared. I suspect lyme disease or maybe MS. So any reviews I leave is from someone with a bad tolerance.
However the Green Indo I just got from First Coast is AMAZING ! Batch 003 to be specific. This is the first time in a couple years I have been amazed by a strain. It is both energetic and works for pain. It is so good (at least for me) I just had to tell the world.
Expect a more detailed review soon and also reviews for their Red Elephant, Red Malay and Red Ketapang.
Thanks for listening... and sorry if I broke any rules

I dont think you broke any rules, people just dont trust new user in general because that could be someone related to FCTC, but any reviews is welcome, i bought some white strain and was not happy and someone new here was claiming its the best white. so i would caution everyone from jumping the gun. i hope you will participate here and not run away after 1 or 5 reviews. Good thing least your a old school kratom user so we need more people like you here.

Yeah I can see how a users first post might look like they are shilling for a company. I was just really amazed at this Green Indo that I figured I would share.
Yeah and that's how it is with Kratom, what is good for someone might not be good for another. I know reddit is cracking down and doesn't allow vendor reviews/strain discussions anymore.
Personally I have only been using First Coast and Motarkbest for the past year or two. I used First Coast since they were SoCal Herbal Remedies but would like to expand my horizons. I'm not even sure some of the vendors I used to use are still around like Mmspeciosa plus I look at some reviews in here and everyone uses abbreviations and I'm sitting here wondering... like TFH ?
I'll stick around. I need to learn of some other good vendors.

Yep, most of my old vendors from back then are long gone.

Yeah that's too bad. I know Meridian Botanicals is still around but their prices are a little high for me and last time I ordered from them their pay options weren't that great, even though I had the best kratom ever from them years back. I used to try to shop around and it was also nice finding out what the fire batches were thanks to the forums. Motark is still around but the previous batches I got from them weren't that good, not as good as they used to be a few years back.
I keep seeing TFH pop up in here but don't know what it stands for. Searching TFH krarom also disn't yield me any results.

Thanks for posting. I was also a regular SoCal customer back in 2017.. as you know, it's all about
the batch. 
They had some consistent Green & Red Hulu (the Red was a green color powder.) and, their Sulawesi was very good... then June 2018, their famous
Red Bali RB1 - did you get that?
Otherwise, SoCal went through many Tons of very average/ to below average kratom...

A later re-stock of RB1 wasn't as good. But people bought it like crazy thinking "strain" when it was a totally different "batch" lol. SoCal / First Coast has been a good, professional, medium size vendor. Lucky for them, moving from CA, across the USA to Florida - that Riverside CA, area just got wiped out by fires!
Could you please comment, regarding Motark?

Last I checked they were very low on stock.. couple checks actually. I'm thinking they are no longer active?

I’ve really loved a lot from FCTC as well. Not their last Red Bali - but everyone overall agrees. I LOVED their Red and Green Sulawesis. And Red Cambodian. And I still have a lot more to really give a chance to. They offer 9 1-oz bags for $30 and I’ve bought that twice so I have LOTS to sample but by the time I get to them they’ll be new batches so whatever. One of the biggest reasons Texas Family Harvest is so popular here is because they send out thousands of samples to get ratings and reviews back from the Kr@tom community to select the most loved strains by the majority of leaf lovers. Instead of the way most companies, including FCTC, do it where just the owner and his circle give it a go. It’s such a fickle, personal leaf that TFH’s decision process ensures there’s a very good chance whatever strain you order is going to be a hit for you.
