I've always had a numb tongue after drinking the kavas I have. Hmmm... And 40g of micronized... WOW! I think the most I've ever had was 10g spaced hours apart. My tummy would NOT be happy.

My mouth rarely gets numb, I used to get it all the time about 3-4 years ago when the kava felt stronger. Squanch Waka, BKH Nambawan & Nangol still have the effect for me. But admittedly, it has been a while since I had Nambawan or Nangol.
I got the numb tongue when I first started drinking kava, but after a couple of months it went away. However, sometimes a kava will provoke the effect, maybe once or twice a year, usually an awesome kava.
