Hi you shellfaced krunk wizards. I know I've been scarce around here, but I've never stopped loving kava. I think about you people all the freaking time. Life gets crazy sometimes. <3

Hey friends, Just passing through to mention that I've got some kava videos in the works in cahoots with the Melo Melo Kava Bar in Berkeley. They've retained me as reviewer and will be providing me with samples of kava to review from all over the kava marketplace. I'll also be doing videos on...

Kava Time contacted me about reviewing their Savusavu, which is a heady kava. I like heady kava. A lot. In fact, all of my favorites are heady. I drink Kava for anxiety and depression and heavy kava is great for the former, but not so great for the latter. This one was 75% heavy and 25% heady...

Hey Kava Forums! LTNS! Just popping in to say that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth and that I still love and drink kava at least once a week! Hope everyone is doing well! Steve

At $20 per pound, GHK's Boroguru seems to be an incredible value to me. This kava is rated at 11% kavalactones, so isn't appreciably stronger than the Fiji Loa Waka I had recently, but the strength is there. Perhaps explained by the difference in chemotype. This Boroguru is 423651, so Kavain...

I've had the good fortune to be able to do most of my kava drinking in a social setting for the last six or seven months. I love my local kava bar, and deeply appreciate it's significance in my life now. The staff are like friends at this point, and the group of about two dozen regulars (with...

I'm hesitant with blends. You know, the floor sweepings, oddments, hodge podge from processing combined into a blend and sold less expensively than single-cultivar/known-cultivar kava. Waste not want not, and a good deal to boot. But on the flipside, who knows what's in there? Where it came...

I find that while I stand there doing my traditional prep at the counter with my big pyrex measuring cup and my nylon sack full of soggy kava, as I work the sack under the water and squeeze it, I have a visualization of what I'm actually accomplishing that goes along with the ritual. Letting it...

I figured it was time to update my forum avatar. In September, I stopped shaving and trimming my beard entirely. My daughters don't think I'll grow it out long enough for them to braid it. That's kind of how this started. They try to braid it every few weeks but aren't getting satisfactory...

I'm thinking of heading over there this evening around 6 or 7. Anyone?

I give you, Shellraiser! Must be drinking Mo'i.

Testing can help. For example, I googled "Piper Methysticum" and Google did a breakout bar for me: Do not drink or eat anything playing the bagpipes.

Light colored medium grind which looked a little reddish in the water. Extracted easily. Taste is light. It's a lawena and that means stump root. Typically lawenas aren't as strong as wakas and both terms generally refer to Fijian kava (or yaqona), though are starting to become more widely used...

The usual prep for me: 3 heaping tbsp (about 6 level) in 2-3 cups of water. Soaked for 5 minutes, then kneaded and wrung for 10. Haven't done a second wash yet, but I probably will. The smell is one I associate with Hawaiian kava. It lacks the Vanuatu murky-soil flavor that I've grown to...

I'll be at the Melo Melo tonight with my friend Frank! Come on down. They've been pouring a Vanuatu stump/root blend and Pouni Ono lately, so the kava there is really good. Friday night is a fun scene, and the crowd is super diverse along pretty much any demographic lines you want to draw. I'll...

I can't say enough great things about that kava bar. I went there last night for a few shells of Pouni Ono (yes, they stock one of my favorites there and have a vat of it chilled and ready to go) and met up with my friend Frank who brought his wife and another couple in tow to introduce them to...

Hey KF goons, what's up!? I just wanted to pop in today and say hello again to the forum that changed my life. While I no longer feel the compulsive need to read/respond/like every new post that comes across the boards here like I did for a good six months, I still have a kava life outside of...

I've been scarce around these parts due to a lot of meat-space concerns, but I thought I'd pop in tonight for a number of reasons: 1. I have my latest liver panel. 2. I have a bag of Hanakapi'ai lateral hairs that I broke open and brewed tonight. 3. I miss you all so very much. 4. Tomorrow's my...

Sounds pretty good, what they're saying. http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=310226 Because we were working to pharmaceutical standards, we had to have approvals in place from governments we're looking to export to, so work in progress for us was six to 12 months," Mr Yoshida said...

So fucking retarded. http://www.pfes.nt.gov.au/Media-Centre/Media-releases/2015/June/09/Kava-Seized-Katherine.aspx Fuck you, Australia.
