Kava Curious
So I am quite new to kava - decided to take the plunge back in early November to help wind-down and relieve some work anxiety. I picked up a Kalm with Kava sampler pack with Loa Waka, Borongoru, Pouni Ono.
I've been following the traditional prep instructions on the back of the Kalm with Kava bags - 8oz of hot from the tap water, 3 tablespoons of kava in a strainer bag, let sit in the water for 5 mins, then knead and ring out the bag for 5 mins - chill and consume. Definitely getting a numbing sensation after I down the 8oz glass of kava - but haven't really felt like I've experienced anything close to euphoric or krunk. There are times where I do feel a bit more relaxed but I wouldn't say the sensation was significant. I've been mostly using the Borongoru.
So my question...am I doing it right? I know there is reverse tolerance, I've not been consuming everyday - about 2 times a week since the 2nd week of November, but I have been taking 3x Gaia Herbs Kava capsules pretty faithfully each day for the last 2 months, so I figured that would contribute to overcoming reverse tolerance.
I've been thinking about brewing a double batch using the above prep instructions - 2x 8oz glasses spaced out 15 to 20 mins apart to see if that would do anything.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
