As a follow up to the recent post we published on doing multiple washes, we've just published a new post focusing on the optimal kneading/traditional preparation time: https://kavasociety.nz/blog/2024/8/...gpreparation-time-research-by-root-amp-pestle
It basically confirmed what we suspected to be the case based on our experience, but soem of the results were still quite surprising (e.g. that it may take just as little as 80 seconds to attain near max kavalactone extraction). Also an interesting reminder that there might be more to the factors influencing kava experience than mere kavalactones (as rightly suggested by @Alia )
