First time user! I'm finding that none of the methods i found online of how to take it I'm okay with. The the capsules are probably a better option. And it didn't didn't give me the effects described for the white kratom. Actually didn't really enjoy the effects I received from it. I purchased a variety pack of the red green and white. I made tea with the white and it wasn't happy with how it affected me and now I'm too leery to even try the red or the green. It doesn't mean it's a bad product I'm just an inexperienced is still trying to learn the best methods and which strain I like best
