    Issues falling and staying asleep after drinking kava?

    Bula All, I've been drinking kava for some time , but find I'm drinking it less now because of how it harms my sleep. I LOVE my kava sessions (they usually start between 6pm and 8pm and go for 1-1.5 hours) but I cut them off early to prevent sleep issues. Sometimes I feel I'll even had...

    Vitamins/ingredients that supplement kava well?

    Do you sip or chug your kava?

    How to mitigate kava's effects?

    Bula everyone -- I'm curious to know if anyone here has solutions to cutting kava's effects? For example, I'll get somewhat krunk and then have something urgent come up that I need to deal with. I can usually handle it while krunk... but in certain instances would prefer not to be krunk :)...

    Best "taste" pairs for our bitter kava -- sour, sweet, salty, umami?

    All, I have been drinking kava for plenty of time now. I've done my own share of experimenting with flavors and have found great tips from on here with regards to pairings. My current go-to to make kava taste better is to add ginger bitters to my kava. It makes the kava more palatable without...

    What happened to Pacific Roots Kava?

    Bula everyone, I’ve loved ordering and drinking Pacific Roots Kava. However, it looks to be out of stock on the KWK website (where I used to get it from) and on the Kava Society of NZ site. I heard on a recent @kavasseur YouTube video that they might stop making it (hopefully not...

    Are kavalactones there if your kava liquid lacks sediment?

    Hi All, Bula, I’m curious to know if the kavalactones can be hyperfiltered to remove the sediment at the bottom of my kava drink? Kavalactones are tiny chemical compounds so theoretically they could pass through a 1 micron filter or less if you mash and mix your kava enough. I use Kavafied’s...
