My Herbal RVA review!

Post by tossnwash »

After many underwhelming online purchases from other vendors, I was led to Herbal Remedies by some folks here. I got a 4 way split Kilo:

White Maeng Da: good
Green BigBang: good
Green MD 2: very good as reported!
Red Sulawesi: nah

Overall quite satisfied with my purchase. Very reasonable prices. The red was obviously a disappointment -- I just won't get it next time. Shipping time was HORRENDOUS but I did place the order on 12/21, close to Christmas. Finally delivered 1/04.

So I'll be buying my next kilo from Herbal Remedies and hope the shipping goes better.

Just thought y'all might like to know!

RVA stands for Richmond, VA, not remedies. And by Green MD 2 did you mean premium md 2?

Yes, Premium MD 2. And sorry for the confusion -- I meant I will be using Herbal RVA again. So many vendor names, I get 'em mixed up sometimes

No it's cool, just wanted to clarify for people that might use your recommendations. I too had the pmd 2 a couple times last year, it was the best RVA strain I've had recently. The pmd 1 is pretty good too, not as fast as the 2. I didn't get much out of the white maeng da....can't remember the batch number, but it was around October/November

Herbal RVA is a great vendor! They were my sole vendor for about three years up until this fall, when I discovered DoubleM and all these wonderful small batch vendors. I still keep my RVA stock in regular rotation!

As for the shipping, yeah apparently Richmond was hit bad, really I would assume the whole MD DC VA metro area was, with holiday shipping backups. Typically though I've 9 times out of 10 had 2 to 3 day shipping from him.

Sorry about the shipping issues. It was the worst 30 days I've ever had working. Many many upset customers. We are running a sale in the next week or 2 to give back since so many customers were effected.

Yeah I tried the gold Bali and it was trash. The premium mg2 was decent and I’m currently gonna try the red Bali so will update

I know shipping was mentioned a few times, so I just wanted to throw this out there - I received my order this week very fast! I ordered from 5 vendors, and Herbal RVA - was the first to arrive, a day earlier than even expected. I ordered late in the day Tuesday. It was shipped first thing Wednesday morning and got here in two days! So if they had a rough couple of weeks, they def fixed it up and got back on a good system.

I will review on the strains once I get a good feel for them, excited for the PMD and Green Big Bang.

Thanks Herbal RVA

A major improvement on Herbal RVA website, appears each Strain now has a photo of every Batch! LINK = https://herbal-rva.com/page/2/?s=specio ... pe=product

Very helpful. Most vendors use a "stock photo" so, you can't tell what Color you're buying.. we buy kratom on Batches and Colors. 8-) Not "Strains and Veins", I'm writing this for newbies here. Personally I prefer a Green color batch!

Herbal RVA, last year sold a couple of Gold Bali batches that were amazing strong and SLOW! Some of the heaviest slow leaf I've ever had. But... batches come and go. Now on the website, each Strain is linked with complete Lab Test report. You click each Lab report for Batch Date and Batch #. Example: Green Bali.

What more do you need? He's worked to make this, a top website for buying kratom. :P He's known for Fast Shipping... Browse the colors, and pick the green-est leaf. Guess what? That's the PMD, Super, Wild, and Green Vietnam, some of his most popular batches. For reviews, he's got a large Facebook group. And now... this vendor even has affordable Extract caps? I'm impressed... he's importing direct, from well known Indo sources like Big Bang and others.
