Glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling sleepy with it. I'm not looking for anything sedating, but rather something more uplifting and would give me energy (that's what the guys at KWK said Pouni Ono would do, anyway). Can anyone recommend something that would be more energizing, good for socializing, whatever is least sedating of all the Kavas, since I didn't have very good luck with this one? Thank you!
Well, if you're new to kava, just remember that "energizing" and such other terms have to be understood in context. Afterall, Kava is consistently understood as a relaxing beverage, whether heavy or heady. I wish I could tell you what to do, but from what I can gather, it

Every kava is going to be somewhat relaxing. I find that what makes me drowsy is hit and miss and requires trial and error. Mo'i, for example, is often cited as among the least drowsy and most heady, but it has made me drowsy none the less. Kava Time's Kadavu, on the other hand, is definitely heavy, but I have found myself fully awake after drinking it and ready to socialize. I just placed a new order of Kava Time's Ovalau's Heritage. I remember that as being heady and non-sedating, I'll try to remember to let you know what my experience is when I get it. Nevertheless, I think everybody's body chemistry is a bit different, so sometimes it just takes some (expensive) trial and error. Recommendations and reviews amount for me as suggestions of what to try, but my experiences don't always match the experiences of others.
