Not yet, but here's what I do:Is there a resource I could consult on how to grind these roots up?
The artwork is from an original painting of piper methysticum by Sydney Parkinson, made during one of Captain James Cook's voyages to Fiji in the mid 1700's. It's a nice painting, plus public domain, so I couldn't resist!These are from fiji fresh. I tried to get the label but the letters got cut off. Speaking of labels, what beautiful artwork of kava leaves. I'll try to get a better pic
I found this out recently when I was just making it in my alu ball and noticed that I was getting more potency when I rubbed the excess stuff off the ball and on to the inside of the bottle after each shake, a little goes a long way. Even a small pinch of raw micro in my mouth that I wait and dissolve gives me a boost in less than 5 minutes and can numb my mouth out well.Just a heads-up to anyone who plans on grinding whole root at home...in my experience and perhaps depending on the root itself and the grinding method, ...A LOT of the incredibly sticky kavalactones get stuck on the walls of your preparation vessels. So much so, they don’t end up in your beverage. Plenty get in the grog, but the walls of my bowl get covered in pure numbing kavalactone extract that is very difficult to remove and put in your beverage. — If you did it would likely be amazingly potent.
Not sure if everyone runs into this problem, but I certainly have.

You're too kind! I hadn't had kava lately and thought about ordering from you but I have some kava I must use up. Was a little bummed I missed the October launch discount but I'm glad you've got a neat code for us forumites!I made a permanent discount code for Kava Forum users: Use the code 'FreshForumFan' at checkout to get a 10% discount.
I got the FijiFresh Ground Waka...Very impressed, worth a try for sure.You're too kind! I hadn't had kava lately and thought about ordering from you but I have some kava I must use up. Was a little bummed I missed the October launch discount but I'm glad you've got a neat code for us forumites!
Hopefully I'll order some roots to use soon. I have a grinder that'd work well with them.
That is so very considerate! I received the email re: the first batch being more heady and was considering the second batch, which was said to be more heavy. Is this true? I did not try my first batches yet as I prefer heavy. I’ll still use them mixed with heavier root. If I order next week, is it the heavier waka that was tested?

The current batch of kava I have has a few ground waka pouches that are more heavy and sedating. These are anomalies and inconsistent with the tested kava. Normally our kava is more balanced with heady notes.That is so very considerate!

Got it!Yes. I was using it just for the first few months of the business. I can’t run discounts all the time and keep the company going.
Again, very sorry for not being able to follow up with my permanent discount. As it turns out my margins are very small. I can't keep the discounts going and still be able to sell kava. Hope you understand.I made a permanent discount code for Kava Forum users: Use the code 'FreshForumFan' at checkout to get a 10% discount.
