Managed to snag a bag of Kavafied's Kava Tonga, which I've heard overwhelmingly positive things about, and am stoked to try it. I've already had a big lunch and was planning to wait until around 5pm to start preparing, but I noticed some have said it's a very heady/euphoric Kava (which I like), and that it's suited more for middle-of-the-day situations. Would this keep me awake? Should I just go for Kava Supreme tonight and save it for tomorrow?
Lastly, I want to get the most out of this one, as it's on the pricey side. Any preparation recommendations? I tend to use a minimum of 25 grams root powder, max of 40 grams, blended in 1.5 cups of warm water with milk/emulsifier, then kneaded for 15 minutes. On larger batches, do you split it, so you get more out of it or is there a more efficient way to extract the kavalactones? When I knead big batches, it takes a WHILE to get all the smooth oily "muddiness" down to coarse fibers I'm comfortable with discarding. (With these, though, I may save and freeze.)
Open to suggestions from veteran Kava drinkers!
