You should have a little sticker on the back which says the type you have. Probably in Initials. I tried mine it was Kratom :) if you are trying it for the first time, I would have no more than 1.5 g in a cup of boiling water - like you would a tea. This for me helps any nausea (that some get). Check out the types of doses for the effect you want, but I would start there, no more. Otherwise you will just feel nauseous.
