I finished mine off through blending. It's junk kava. It may or may not be mixed with aerials or something else. Adulteration does not necessarily equal bad effects or noticeable organ damage, especially in the short term. Many of us could likely drink a mixture of tudei roots and wichmannii aerials and report back that we had no negative effects from the experience...but we don't know what the long-term effects might be, and since we know that there is some evidence that it could be dangerous, I wouldn't promote it's consumption or suggest that it's innocuous.IAE, I have been drinking this, including the newest batch, which I find has that flavour in a much more pronounced way. I usually now blend it 1:3 with other kavas. I have had zero bad effects from drinking it. The previous batch I enjoy drinking straight. My wife loves the new batch straight.
There's no reason to drink this stuff, if the price point is what attracts some, just buy Wakacon Waka instead, it's perfectly sufficient, low priced, run-of-the-mill, proper kava root. On the other hand, if you feel that this 'kava' offers you something that you actually like and can't get elsewhere, by all means, drink up.
