If you’ve walked into Enjoy Kava Bar at 749 Washington Ave for the first time and looked at the menu, you’ve probably had one question: what’s the difference between Red, Green, and White kratom tea? It’s the question our staff answers most often – and it’s a good one, because the three strains feel completely different.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know so you can walk in and order with confidence. And if you still can’t decide after reading? Our staff will sort you out in 60 seconds.
What is Kratom Tea?
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tree native to Southeast Asia whose leaves contain natural alkaloids – primarily mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine – that interact with the body to produce effects that vary significantly by strain. At Enjoy Kava Bar, we serve kratom exclusively as a brewed tea – never in capsule or powder form.
Brewing kratom as a tea is the most social, enjoyable, and traditional way to consume it. You hold a warm cup, you sip slowly, you feel the effects gradually. It’s a ritual, not just a supplement.

The Three Kratom Strains at Enjoy Kava Bar
Green House Tea – $9 – The Balanced Strain
Green vein kratom is the most versatile and popular strain, and our top recommendation for first-timers. It sits in the middle of the spectrum – not too relaxing, not too stimulating. The effects are uplifting, social, and mood-boosting, with a mild energy component that keeps you engaged without feeling wired.
Best for: First visits, social evenings, afternoons in the lounge, after-work unwinding with friends.
Our recommendation: If you’ve never tried kratom and you’re not sure what you want – start with Green. It’s the most forgiving and the most universally enjoyed.
Duration: Typically 3-4 hours. Effects start within 15-30 minutes of drinking.
White House Tea – $11 – The Energizing Strain
White vein kratom is the most stimulating of the three. It’s mood-boosting, motivating, and great for people who want to stay sharp, social, and energized late into the evening. Popular with our digital nomad regulars who use it as a productive afternoon drink, and with guests who want energy without caffeine jitters.
Best for: Afternoon work sessions, social nights where you want to stay sharp, anyone who wants a natural energy and mood boost without stimulants.
Duration: Typically 3-5 hours. Effects tend to be clean and clear-headed.
Red House Tea – $13 – The Relaxing Strain
Red vein kratom is the most sedating and the most popular evening strain. It produces deep body relaxation, a calming effect on the mind, and is the closest kratom experience to genuinely winding down at the end of a long day. Many guests who have transitioned away from alcohol specifically choose Red House Tea as their evening drink.
Best for: After a stressful day, evenings when you want to fully unwind, the perfect companion to a hookah session.

Duration: Typically 4-6 hours. Red tends to last longer than Green or White.

Step 1 – Tell our staff your situation. Are you stressed and need to decompress? Start with Red. Are you here for a social evening? Start with Green. Are you working and want focus? Try White.
Step 2 – Start with one drink. Don’t order three different strains on your first visit. Try one, feel it, understand it. Come back and try another.
Step 3 – Pair it with something. Red House Tea and hookah is our most popular combination. Green and conversation. White and a work session.
Step 4 – Drink slowly. Kratom tea is not a shot. Sip it over 20-30 minutes. The effects build gradually and last 3-6 hours.

Kratom Tea vs Kava – What’s the Difference?
Kava (Piper methysticum) – from the Pacific Islands. The active compounds are kavalactones. Effects are calming, social, and relaxing. Often described as “the social lubricant that doesn’t impair.” No strain variations – kava is kava.
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) – from Southeast Asia. Effects vary significantly by strain – Green is social, White is energizing, Red is relaxing. Both are 100% legal in Florida.
