Ive really grown to appreciate instant kavas. I myself am drinking on the last bit I have of Shaman and its just so fantastic. You cant beat the easiness and sheer strength of this stuff. Fire island too is great. I will be ordering more instant to have around for times like this.
It's comes on softer than Shaman. It's pleasant and light. Relaxing but no krunkness. I used to down a shell of that before class when I had some. College is so much nicer to sit through when on a bit of kava.
