    Free Kava

    hey there, I know some folks are sometimes hard up and have two kavas to give away that don't work for me: about 170g of FijiKava and about 120g of a weird batch of SavuSavu from KavaPros. I wouldn't recommend either of them for a beginner, as they're not a great intro to kava, the FK is weak...

    Kava-friendly Podcasts

    Hellow Kavalovers, The Emerald sits so well in kava space and time that its become my Special Reserve podcast for Kava Hour over the last year. But I've exhausted the material and wondering if the crew has any other recommendations for animistic, mythic, expansive consciousness type podcasts...

    Autumnal general thread

    What's in your tanoa this season, folkses? After a tip from Krunkie, I'm mixing 50/50 waka and tongan. It is an excellent way to go, esp as it's not too heavy a mix to inhibit the creative work I do during my session. Using 4tbsp each Karan's + KavaPros Tongan, + 2 teaspoons of Root and Pestle...

    Spring general thread (Australia)

    Since we're now 18 pages deep in the general thread, thought I'd start one for the new season. How ya going, Aus kava lovers? What's in your tanoa? I've been drinking Karan's and Nesai kava, loving the cheaper kavas popping up but haven't found a good affordable heady yet, which I prefer as my...

    Anybody immune to instant?

    I got my kava quirks for sure. But feeling deeply frustrated getting zero results with my fifth bag of instant. Defo the good stuff, I don't want to come across as being dissatisfied with the reputable vendor. My prep routine is good with 4hrs fasting yada yada and I get reasonable if erratic...

    Creativity/Equanimity

    One of the main benefits from kava for me, on good days, is a sense of equanimity. This means kava works very well for some creative practices, like writing where I am able to generate words with an annihilated inner critic, and ruthlessly edit without attachment (cultivar/quantity dependent, of...

    Another one for Blepharitis!

    Yes! It is a kava thing! Good i had the forums to work out what was going on. Sending the child out for wet wipes, fingers crossed. If they want to lance my eyelid I'm walking into the sea. "

    What's your kava quirk?

    We all know kava can be fickle, and body response idiosyncratic. Curious about experiences outside the norm? Some of mine: I need to slam all the kava I want that day down at once. It's not nice to skol all that in one go. But it doesn't work if I space it, just never get any escalation on my...

    Fijikava 1/2 price in Aus

    Hello kava lovers, Heads up that fijikava is half price on their official site and at Coles. This happens once in a blue moon and never lasts long. Fijikava is the best TGA approved (ie. legal) source I've found here in Aus. I use about 13 capsules as a starting point, emptied out and mixed...

    Can I hear from those who max out at one shell?

    Hey friends, just wondering about others like me. I can drink a fair dose of kava, but only in one go (that's one giant shell a day, not multiple shells over a couple hour session). If I try and top up or even drink 12 hours later, the nausea hits me like a bomb. Next day I'm fresh and ready to...

    Does the color of kava indicate any traits?

    For you kava buffs...there is a pretty huge range of kava browns out there, and just wondering if this predicts anything. I've noticed that Hawaiian awas are often lighter in color, and often the flavour of lighter kavas is less pungent--the very worst tasting kavas have been the darkest root. I...

    Maximum micro dosage

    Hello kava friends, As mentioned in other threads I'm trying to break through the mini-RT I have from switching strains a little while ago. I've gone through close to 24oz of KwK Loa Waka micro, taking between 3-4 tbsp twice a day (level measuring spoon). Should I try taking more to break...

    Kava potentiates kava

    So I was taking KK lateral root instant, 4tbsp with a second session of 2-4tbsp, since Feb (all I could access in Aus). Reasonable effects that lasted an hour, predictably, but had some maka side effects in the end. Last two weeks I've been on 2-6 tbsp of KwK instant, gone through 500g and...

    Finding the sweet spot...

    Ehhh I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here. Advice? Maybe just sharing the learning curve? (always have a learning curve when I switch a batch, but what I learn is rarely applicable to the next time!) I've gone through 8oz in the last week of KWK Loa Waka micro after switching from lat...

    Busted! and...totally fine?

    Here's hope for the Aussies (dumb luck is real!). Been saving awhile to get a shipment over...nearly 2kgs of micro. It got picked up by the Australian Border Force (customs). I could see it had been recalled to customs with my tracking no. Held my breath waiting to hear if it would be a slap on...
