Kava Curious
Hello All,
I stumbled upon Kava after reading the article for ESPN. Since then i have been dedicating most of my time to studying all i can about Kava. I have watched way too many of Kavasseur's reviews, browsed many vendor websites and perused this forum.
I placed an order with KWK for the sample pack on their website that should be here on Friday, it will be a surprise which strains i end up receiving. I also had an Amazon gift card to use up so i ordered a 1/2 LB of the Borugu from KWK as well.
I will be trying traditional prep. The proper proportions seem to be the toughest thing to figure out about Kava. I think maybe 3 Tablespoons of root to 12oz of water, which should get me three 4 oz servings would be a good baseline to start with. Any suggestions on the ratio would be appreciated from more experienced drinkers, is this too much/not enough for the first time? Is there a suggested strain from KWK that would be best to start with? (granted i don't know exactly which ones i will be receiving in the sample)
I am a former alcoholic (sober for 1 1/2 years) that struggles with anxiety and stress, I've been on and off benzo's for quite some time. I seem to have fallen in love with Kava before even having tried it yet, like it is the missing piece of the puzzle or a long lost friend finally coming home.
I am excited to get this adventure under way and hope to become a permanent fixture within the kava community!
