Yeah, sometimes my prefered varieties almost taste ok, sometimes not. sI thought, well this is silly, lets fine some thing to mix it with I keep on hand so as I can enjoy even the flavors of kava. For example I actually enjoy KavaTimes flavors, of the two i've had from them the effects and taste just rock. Where as Some of GHK's tastes eh or blarg, it's good solid stuff, but man the tastes!. For example The last time I had Burogururu(sp) it had a light nutmeggy flavor, and their Kamakua has a light cinamony flavor. Where as Pap Ele even for me was mega is just mega mega weird BLG, let. Weirdly in left in the fridge the flavors go from blg to a super yum nutmeg spicy flavor to a just even good smooth earthy flavor. But that takes at least a week to make. In the meen time want to be able to enjoy this stuff that's pleasent and great help with out holding my noes and chuging.
So I thought: well ok maybie some milk or ginger or cola or something might help with it's flavor. I hadn't thought about simply eating a little bit of choclate. I just tried that with...I honestly don't know how many shells i've had today. Your right a bit of choclate (snickers FWIW) helped it hit the spot.
Thanks so much for that opinion.
Edit: I'll just ask: Why is it some grogs taste foul, others like dirt. The two KavaTime kinds i've had were out right good tasting.
I simply don't know if that was just those two. What might it be that that other roots can very so much from nutmeg and spicy to earthy and yet other just...blarg?
