Kava Enthusiast
First hello, from Maine in the US. Ordered my first batch of medium grind Kava from Wakacon (Waka) since I'm an Amazon Prime subscriber and I always use the reviews. Then like many others, found the wealth of knowledge on this forum afterwards. I used the blender method the first time with three heaping tbsp, two cups of warm water and one cup of milk. After blending I filtered through a mesh bag and chilled with some ice. Had one cup with very mild effects that evening and put the rest in the fridge overnight. Next afternoon on a fairly empty stomach (this time) had a second cup and felt the effects come on within 10 mins or so. Very heady and swirly, really enjoyed it. Finished the third cup (second for that day) and maintained the effects for the next few hours.
Then after doing more reading from this site, it sounded like my dosage wasn't high enough (even though I had fantastic effects the second night). So since I had the next day off from work I made an identical batch except I used 5 heaping tbsp instead of three. Drank most of this slowly over an hour or so. This time nausea came one. Not so bad I needed to vomit but very unsettling. That night my chest was itchy and I had a sour stomach all the next day. To top it off I never got any of the pleasantries I received the previous day. From more reading here I chalk it up to not the best quality Kava and to much to quickly?
Anyways I now have some KWK Loa Waka micronized on order and am really looking forward to trying that.
Thought I'd give you a bit of background on my brief experiences with kava before I asked my question......which is really simple. When you all speak of tbsp and tsp....are you talking heaping mounded over, or level?
Thanks in advance
