I went the all Borongoru route tonight, with Kalm Borongoru and Kalm Concentrate mixed 1:7. But not all together in one bucket.
I soaked 3/4 cup of Borongoru in 3 cups of water and brewed the usual way. Steeped in warm water for 15 minutes (especially with this grind, as it's pretty coarse) and then into the bag for another 15 minutes of kneading with a second and third wash.
I had my four-ish shells of Borongoru and got the dopey grin and great inner calmness that I've come to expect. Then, as maintenance, I continued to drink the concentrate with water once every 45 minutes or so (as it worked out) and it's brilliant. A very uplifting feeling, very chatty, easy to laugh and relaxed most of all.
This is a good combo, and leads you to hydration which is key. Keep drinking the water. This stuff does dehydrate more than I expected.
It's a very pleasant way to spend the tail end of the evening and drift off to bed relaxed.
