Anyone tried it?

Hi. Had no staple kava long drink material at home. Tried combining with lingonberry although intuition said that it was not a good idea. Tasted it. Never again! I guess pomegranate was even worse, though. I'll stick to guava/maracuja, melon, watermelon or mango; alcohol free beer mayhaps. Red...

Sirs, madames and misses, Which words do you use to describe the taste of kava. The frequently used ones appear to be 'muddy' and 'peppery', and recently some of our forumancers have used 'soapy' and 'floral'. Of course, the expectations should not be very high since most of the people do not...

Hi! How hawaiian kava compares to fijian, vanuatu or samoan kavas? Any principal difference among the heady or heavy subsection? There has been no hawaiian kava available in EU but I am somewhat interested. Curiosity.

Hi, I read about this combination here. It is good (combined with EU sourced melo melo). Can't stand cream; almond milk I dislike less but half of a teaspoonful of tahini combined with 2,5 heaping tablespoons of kava was what worked for me well. Nutty taste is good albeit melo melo has been not...

Yesterday went barefoot through magnificent peat bog for some 7 km. Sphagnum moss was incredibly soft, like moist sponge but softer, heather and related shrubs were harsher to step on, the tundra shrub birch species was most harsh to step on but not like stepping on pine cones or needled either...

It has (1) stimulant properties (heady) (2) body feeling to remind you this is no placebo. It is one of the kavas that causes ears to ring. (3) relaxing properties (4) medium duration: not ephemeral kavain effect, no next day dizzyness or sedation AFAIK. Instead, it may slightly disrupt sleep...

Google: "Rapid Prevalence of Kava-Drinking in Kiribati" (Author: Kazuhiro Kazama) TLDR: Kiribati citizens have begun to use kava kava in the XXI century. Note: prevalence of vitamin B1 deficiency disease has risen because of that, more refined rice and less yeast alcohol. "Abstract Until...

Potency: below average Taste: above average Effect: seemed balanced Drank it relatively a lot and often, probably it means that it is recreational. Definitely quite tasty for kava, even better as a cocktail. It had no stimulating properties like Solomon Headhunter, and did not not interfere...

Strength: well above average Taste: well below average Effects: strong body effect, clearly anti-anxiety yet only mildly sedative. Melo melo from Ireland did not taste like KWK melo melo, taste of this kava has a distinct note to it that resembles KWK Vula Wak,. The effect is only mildly...

Honestly, I cannot interpret most of the neurotransmitter effects in particular parts of the rats' brains into layman's terms. The neurotransmitters are important because they are like vehicles and mounts: trains, horses, trolleys, rickshaws and yachts. The brain areas are important because...

Carbon monoxide increases dopamine secretion in a certain subpopulation of memory-related neurons. Can smokers of herbs comment whether kava interacts with smoke in a clearly discernible manner. I do not intend to test it myself because in my experience smoke interacts intensely negatively...

Polynesian Civilization and the Future Colonization of Space John Grayzel Abstract Polynesian civilization was configured — prior to Western colonization — in ways similar to that sometimes described as necessary for humanity's interstellar migration into space. Over thousands of years and...

Does anyone else prefer to use cotton strainer bags inside out? (Synthetic ones are of a bit different design).

TLDR: one of the worst and best kavas sampled. I ordered two types of kava, extremely different ones, according to my meager experience level (dozen different micronized or traditionally prepared medium grind ones). I tried them separately and combined. Source: United Kingdom, maybe affiliate...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31141476/ TLDR: kavain is way way weaker (and thus safer) glycine antagonist than strychnine because of glycine antagonist properties. Therefore, it is a mild mimic of strychnine, and, theoretically, would behave as an antidote to strychnine (bibding is mutually...

During corona shutdown, I could not buy kava from New World. Tikaram's Vanuatu kava from UK was the most tasty kava I had ever drank but it was very weak (or purely heady, I do not understand headiness alone). It tasted similar to Pouni Ono, which tastes good in my book, just even better...
