Offering a range of kratom products, Herbal RVA proves that vendors don’t always need fancy branding and flashy marketing. The basic brand has remained relatively the same since opening their doors over half a decade ago. And yet, their patronage continues to grow.
Similar to other brands in the same segment, RVA Kratom pays significant attention to their balance of cost and quality. By offering consistently potent speciosa at incredibly low prices, RVA manages to stay relevant in today’s cut throat kratom scene.
Herbal RVA Likes to keep things low key, especially when it comes to their speciosa stock. So aside from maintaining a fairly basic web design, the brand also conceals their kratom products by keeping them out of immediate view.
Their home page showcases loads of various teas and herbal products. So, to see their kratom offers, buyers need to key in ‘speciosa’ through their product search. This reveals over 30 different offers of powders, crushed leaf, and capsules.
Although their website is anything but flashy, browsing and navigating through menus is fairly hassle free. And unlike other brands that flood buyers with tons of copy and information about the brand and their products, Herbal RVA doesn’t really share too many details about either.
On the plus side, you should be able to find reviews for their products through their website. Albeit limited, these reviews reflect the same positive experience that people elsewhere on the web have described when dealing with Herbal RVA. Do note however that feedback on their site isn’t verified by any software.
For the record, Herbal RVA Kratom sells their products at some of the lowest prices you’ll find. The brand has managed to keep the cost of their offers the same price throughout the years, which also explains how they have held on to their strong patronage all this time.
Even against beloved budget brands Acadica and Carolina Kratom, Herbal RVA holds its own. The vendor’s powders sell for 0.097¢ to 0.069¢ per gram — up to three or four times less than other vendors.
Capsules at RVA Kratom sell for $19 for 100 pieces, while kratom extract capsules at 50% mitragynine go for $10 for three pieces. Crushed leaf kratom goes for pretty much the same price as their powders.
Do note however that some of their products go for higher prices than these. It really all depends on the strain. For instance, their premium Maeng Da sells for $70 per kilogram as opposed to the standard $69. But even then, the price increase is negligible at most.
With such low prices, it’s easy to see how RVA manages to get so many new customers. But more than just their prices, their buyers rave about the quality of their products that seem to far exceed many, more expensive brands.

“I started ordering this one a few years ago and has always been the best quality. High energy and helps provide relief more than any strain I’ve ever tried! Hands down the best.” – Herbal RVA website
“Great quality great price can’t beat it. I’ve tried so many vendors, it’s ridiculous. Over the past 3 years, I’ve been buying this stuff. This will be my only supplier for as long as they have it now.” – Herbal RVA website
“Too legit. Got my first order from him about a week ago. Promptly reordered after testing it out.” – Reddit user
“He’s a great guy, and his product is legit, very quality. He can help you if you have any questions. He will also split a kilo if you leave an order note (4×250) for no extra charge. His shipping/processing is quick, mid-east coast to north west in 3 days (pretty consistent for vendors here).” – Reddit user
It’s not easy to find complaints about RVA Kratom on forums like Reddit because they’re so widely appreciated by the kratom consumer base. However, there are a few nitpicky buyers who have minor issues with the brand. These reviews mainly exist on their website, albeit each one being a few years old.
“I had some quirky issues with the site and payment. He was really good about responding to my emails and we got it all straightened out. My point? I guess confirm that the site was quirky.” – Reddit user
“Used to be the best I’ve ever had, but the recent batch has been pretty underwhelming. Very weak in comparison to what it used to be and even when dosing higher than usual the effects are suboptimal.” – Herbal RVA website
“Did absolutely nothing for me[.]” – Herbal RVA website
“Past batches have had significant mood elevating dimension. Current batch seems flat by comparison according to two users who sampled from my shipment.” – Herbal RVA website
“I took double what would be a strong dose of the green and gold I ordered in my split kilo and felt no effects. Would definitely recommend the other veins over red Bali but I don’t know whether it was just a bad batch or not.” – Herbal RVA website
The Herbal RVA website automatically applies discounts on products when they go on sale. And since the vendor doesn’t have a mailing list or active socials, the best way to get a freebie, discount, or a promo would be to communicate directly with the owner.
Herbal RVA’s owner is an active member of various kratom Subreddits, so it’s really not that hard to get a hold of him.
According to a comment posed in response to a review, Herbal RVA has been posting lab reports for their products for three years ago. All of these reports can be found posted under the ‘Additional Information’ tab for each individual product page.
The vendor tests for both contamination and mitragynine content. So aside from proving that their products are safe, they also have the numbers to prove their potency.
The American Kratom Association or AKA aims to protect kratom buyers by carefully assessing vendors. They provide their Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification to vendors who can prove that their products are handled and processed in safe facilities with ethical, sanitary techniques.
As of writing, RVA Kratom is not an AKA-GMP certified vendor. That simply means that they haven’t submitted their business for an audit. On the upside, they do perform third-party lab testing which kind of proves the same thing.
With a clean track record, no history of recalls, and zero legal cases with customers or the authorities, it’s safe to say that RVA Kratom is a legitimate kratom vendor offering products that meet (most) buyers’ expectations.
Selling kratom kilograms at just a little shy of $70 for a kilogram, there’s really nothing to lose if you decide to purchase from Herbal RVA. This vendor has proven itself to dozens of kratom buyers through their quality speciosa that’s cheaper than the usual.
If anything, their non-participation in the AKA-GMP program proves to be their biggest drawback. But with updated tests for both safety and potency posted on their website, Herbal RVA assures its buyers that their products are definitely top-notch.

Quality service and products all around. I’ve been a loyal customer once I ran across them years ago. The only time I shop elsewhere is when something I want is out of stock or he doesn’t carry.
Herbal Rva is my only go too. I’ve tried several others in the past but ever since I’ve tried RVA I find no need to go anywhere else the prices are the best the quality is always excellent and the service is so professional .I’ve made a couple of mistakes with orders or accidentally put the wrong address LOL and the owner Jonathan took care of it immediately.I can’t tell you how happy I am that I found RVA…The PMD is great.. I also enjoy the super green..
Have you checked out their bulk prices? Freaking amazing and the only way I go. They do 5 kilos for $275 shipped. Nobody, NOBODY, can top that.
I’ve never had a complaint with this vendor. Good quality & decent shipping.
Most of their greens are solid. Some standouts are Green Vietnam, Premium maeng da, and green Kutai. That said, the reds, golds, and whites I’ve tried from them didn’t do much of anything for me. To be fair. I didn’t try many of their non-green strains so there might be something great hiding in there.
Ive always got good quality from rva. Price is good also and decently fast shipping. Quality is always good for me. Try the green big bang. Its got hyperspace energy. Its a very fast green the kinda strain for gettin sh** done
Lowest prices on the market. Top shelf product. Always fresh. Consistent and reliable. Quick turnaround on orders. Standard shipping gets here in 2 business days after order always.
Sounds like a plug not a review
The kratom is bad. I use a few different vendors and just wanted to try something new. Will not purchase again. Good kratom does not give the wobble effect. Poorly hatevested kratom does that.
The wobbles isnt a bad thing! Just means you took to much! I switched to rva and took about 6 grams like normal and got the wobbles! So that means too cut down your dose! Cutting down is good! The less the better!!
Yeah, I WISH I got the wobbles off everything I get – that’s how you know it’s legit and good quality. I’m guessing you like the placebo kratom’s out there. And 4 stars for price?! The is the best vendor I’ve ever used for such an amazing price it’s insane when I hear anyone complain but hey, to each his own.
Have been a monthly customer for 4 years already and I have had no problems whatsoever. I have gotten a few of my friends to go through Herbal RVA and they were really pleased with the great quality for such low price. Don’t think the low price means low quality with this store because the Kratom is top notch! I usually recieve my package within 48-72 hours after placing my order which is amazing. I have never been let down yet. Jonathan is one of the best in the game! I usually stick with the yellow or white maeng da but the premium maeng da 2 is top notch.
