This is a really good example of a Tongan Eua kava.
The grind is quite fine and it has that lovely toast like smell to it. I blended 50g with 1 litre of liquid and drank in 4 x 250 ml shells spaced out every 45 minutes over a few hours.
Lots of people report the taste to be quite smooth but I found it to be a bit harsh for a Tongan kava, maybe I mixed it a bit stronger?
The effects come on quite quickly and are mild but noticeable at first and then build slowly to a nice level. It's quite heady at first and then settles into a more balanced feel. There is not a lot of body feel and not a huge amount of sedation but I would say it is not only good for anxiety but also it can put you in a better mood. Not all kavas do that but this is definitely one. If you're feeling a bit down this will lift you up at least a few notches.
I did get a very small amount of nausea but nothing uncomfortable. Despite it not being what I would call a super sedative kava I did sleep well, maybe to do with it taking all of your cares away!
If you like Tongan kava (who doesn't?!) then I would certainly recommend you give this one a try.
