@Gourmet Hawaiian Kava ships for free. Most other places use Priority Mail. For example, for my most recent order from
@Kalm with Kava the shipping was $9.75 (this was an order for a total of 3 lbs of kava)
My last order from KWK was about $60 to ship! Worth it though
Instant is pretty expensive compared with micronized. If you want super easy preparation, and your stomach can tolerate micronized, then go with micronized; it's a much better value for your dollar. Some people (like me) get stomach problems (gas pains) from micronized. The only way to find out if you will have problems is to try micro yourself. I think the majority of people do not have any problem with it..
I just don't agree, I use way more micro than instant so although the actual powder itself is more expensive the value is still about the same.
From a quick search a heaped uk teaspoon is about 5 grams. 100 grams of BKH instant green is $42.50 (I won't include shipping as that's not important in this case for comparison). I would typically use 2 teaspoons per shell and drink 2 shells per night so I'm using 20 grams per night. If I drank Instant Green every night for 5 nights it would cost me $8.50 a night.
1/2 lb of 11 yr waka is $39 which is 227 grams. From my recent experiences I would say that I would need 2 shells of at least 1.5 tablespoons of that which is (again, a rough estimate from the internet) so 25 grams per shell or 50 grams per night. So if I drank 11 yr waka every night for 5 nights I would use the 1/2 lb and be a little bit short on the last night. This would cost me $7.80 per night if we don't include the shortfall.
There really isn't a great deal of difference between the two.
