While I think Hanakapi'ai is quite heady I think it has some great body effects too, at least for me. I really, really like this one and it's potent enough for me to use as a nighttime kava. I find it a little too sedating for daytime use. I've only used it in micronized though, and I'm starting to think there are nuanced differences in the effects between different forms of the same strain, so my perception could be different with ground root.
