If you were talking to me I got it thru Amazon from a company called Wakacon..It is the Fijian noble

lolol....that seems to be the trending first reactions we get when we introduce Kava to people in Florida about the smell and taste. Never had that first reaction given so frequently before living in Florida...why Florida??? Idk bc FLorida lol

I've drank a lot of kava from many vendors. I've never had any that tasted anything other than dirt. Sometimes the kava dirt tastes worse than other kava dirt. I know @kavadude wasn't happy with his Watacon kava. He was calling it sawdust and could barely choke it down. Perhaps they accidentally shipped you their special "El Chapo" kava blend that they normally only send to their "most wanted" customers.

Maybe they put a little coke in it to draw repeat business..lol...I will keep you posted on how it goes tonight..I drank 10 oz with 4 tbs...Do not feel any stomach upset.Feel pretty good..I made 20 oz with 8 tbs and drank 10 already about an hour or so ago...Is that sufficient time to see how it affects me before I try some more?
I believe the term is "Florida Man"
But the ether taste/smell is what concerns me, I've had some nasty stuff before that reminded me of some sort of chemical.

@Kapmcrunk is right about his concern about sketchy kava. There is a lot of it out there and I do not believe Watacon is known to be "noble". Kava tastes bad, but it never should taste like chemicals.
Overall, can you describe the "effects" this kava has had on you?

Sure...nothing big so far...kind of like a mild caffeine buzz but soft around the edges..alert but relaxed..but not sleepy in the least..but kind of zoned out.

Weird. Usually kava has a sort of "benzo" effect on people. I wouldn't expect it to be stimulating.

Give this a try. Usually everyone likes it. Kalm With Kava Fiji Loa Waka. Here is the link:

Or if you prefer micronized, you can get it that way:

Edit: I just checked Gourmet Hawaiian Kava web site and Chris is offering a new kava with the exact same chemotype as the KWK Fiji Loa Waka. I've never tried it, but I think I'm going to order some now. Usually GHK has great kava, and Chris grows it himself.

Well you know how adderall calms people with add but geeks up most everyone else and benzos' can make some people feel up initially..

Ahh didn't know that. That would explain it for sure. Anyway, thanks to our conversation I just ordered some @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava Pana'Ewa. I like his kava, and when fresh can taste better than most. He harvested this kava in mid November so it should taste pretty good. Looking forward to it. IMO you cannot get better kavas or a better variety than from GHK.
Edit: I'll tell you of another kava that is underrated but still quite good. Its @Squanch72 Waka. You can get it here: http://www.squanchkava.com/Default.asp
Not only is it a very good & heady kava, its also one of the most economical kavas. I have probably ordered more from Squanch than any other vendor.

OMG I am high as a kite on kava.... Being a trained chef and working in the fragrance development industry for my Superior olfactory sense... I think that may be what others say taste like dirt to them taste different to me because I have a super sensitive palate and I can identify the kerosene smell and flavor but to others it just tastes like dirt... Nevertheless I am stoked I got up this morning and started my preparation using my excellent attention to detail and made an awesome bach that makes me feel like I have taken some Adderall and some Oxy Cotton... I am stoked.... It even gives me the urge to go to the bathroom like an amphetamine does wow can't believe this is legal
