    Freezing your kava brew, loss of potency?

    I hope this question hasn't been asked somewhere else already! I am close to ordering and can't decide between instant and traditional grind. Instant because it is so easy to use. I am thinking about making huge amounts of traditional grind kava at once, and put it in the freezer in small...

    The mysterious kavalactone content in traditional grind compared to instant

    I wonder why instant Kava Kava doesn't have a much higher kavalactone content (the powder itself of course). Lets say you have a strong cultivar with 10% kavalactones. Now you make a kava brew and dry it. As far as I know and read, those instant powders are in the same kavalactone region ...

    Supplier Review Great vendor and support

    So as I just did my review here I want to give a basic review of the store itself. Great support, fast delivery (the fastest I had within EU, some stores do sometimes ship the same day, but mostly not) and the price is also OK. First I had a bit the idea that the "spirit" could be a bit...

    Powdered Kava Review Melo Melo / - Daily Break -

    So I am proud to be able to do the first review here. I had a couple of Melo Melo sources within EU the last years. Perhaps it is my state of mind, that differs sometimes, so the effects differ. But I have to recognize again and again, that this Melo Melo, to me, is the strongest regarding...

    Resetting and helping repair your GABA system in the brain

    Hello @ll, I wonder if some people have some input on this issue. One very interesting input I found some years ago, sadly I can't find the source again. It is about the plant "brahmi" which can help to repair the GABA "system" (receptors/region) in the brain. It was very detailed, why and...

    Group buy of Kavaha preorder (EU)

    Are here some people within EU interested in a group buy of Kavaha's pre-order offer (-40%)? Perhaps we could work something out. For me it is too much to take 2kg of one cultivar (without trying before). Bir Kar is one of them. At first I didn't like Bir Kar, meanwhile I like it very much. No...

    The current Pacific Elixir Batch

    I ordered from kavaeurope the current batch. To me this is very weak this time. Pacific Elixir was always such a nice and strong kava (not the strongest but potent). Perhaps it is my tolerance, but I had a break before I took it. Two days I took about 60gr each day, and it didn't do a lot...

    Looking for some advice, Kelai instant or not? (I don't like Bir kar, comparable?)

    I was super happy to see they have Kelai instant in the European store (kavaeurope.eu) now. I was looking for a nice heady for some time. Kelai in general (traditional grind) has some nice reviews. But 70 € + for 100gr incl. shipping is a bit much when I don't know if I will like it. Actually...

    Differences of traditional grind and instant (effect wise)

    Hi @ll, I only had Pacific Elixir instant till now, and I love it but somehow it differs a lot and I wonder if this is a trait of this special kava or of instant in general? It seems to be very energizing, but only when you didn't take it for at least a couple of days. I love it, but I realize...

    The cheap chief of mobile Kava making

    I just thought I have to share this. May I introduce the "Cheap kava chief"? This thing was less than 20€ and has battery in it (I guess 2x 18650 3,7V batteries). I never had an aluball because I couldn't get it or it was way too expensive shipped to europe. I almost never knead kava. So I...

    Kava kava and driving a car....

    Hey @ll, I just wonder how you handle it. I know most wouldn't admit that "sometimes... OK I drive "drunk" ".... Well I don't really. But what about a "bit" kava - like you can still walk straight. We all have a feeling if we are able to drive. What does the law say in USA f.e.? Where I live...

    And another airplane Thread.... travel with kava

    I am going to fly soon from within EU to within EU (Gran Canaria/Spain) I am curious, I didn't find info in the internet if Kava is legal in Spain, and if it is a grey area, in which way it is allowed. Also I wonder if they already check deeply in my country at the airport I have my flight to...

    The latest Pacific Elixir batch (EU kavaeurope), crazy fine ground - anyone has the same experience?

    I can't believe atm what is going on with this kava. Had a 200gr bag from the latest batch which was sold out very fast. I weighted out 25gr some minutes ago, put it on low speed in my mixer (no matter, even high speed did never result in something like this). Then I put it through my 75mesh...

    A word of caution and common sense....

    Hello @ll, I try to make it short: I had panic attacks and depression and also a bit dissociative problems back then. It was gone mostly since years. My word of caution, which must not be true for everyone, every brain chemistry and psyche is different: Don't overdo kava for too long without...

    Kava kava in France... some input?

    Hello @ll, I am not from France, but my friends sister lives in France and she would like to order Kava Kava from outside EU. She has no clue what's up with customs, tax and if it is a problem to order. I said her it shouldn't be a problem, some online shops say 99,9% of parcels make it. How...

    Melo Melo instant = Mighty Roots?

    Hello @ll, I would love to get a new kind of Kava. Due to living in EU, I don't have lots of options (kavaeurope/Kavasociety). I already have Mighty Roots. I wonder if the Melo Melo is the same as instant but named different, or if it is a unique different kava? Did someone try both? Edit: I...

    The bad effects on my stomach and bowel

    I know this is a common issue for some people. For me it is becoming more serious now, too. It seems the more often I drink, even with brakes in between (atm it is 2x a week) my stomach and bowel react bad. Now that I drink my friday kava I almost had to vomit from the last sip I did. I don't...

    And Kava did it again....

    Hey @ll, what did kava do again? Well I am surprised and sad at the same time. Sad that I can't "get there" without kava. Years ago when I found kava, it helped a lot to "come into energies" or personality aspects, I just can't reach without. Also it helped to open the doors to suppressed...

    Making own micronized and instant... makes sense?

    Hello @ll, I saw a video that you can do your own micronized kava (if you have good quality medium grind) using a (Edit, not 50, but 60) 60 micron metal mesh. Acutally that's all you have to do. The bigger chunks that are left, you can do traditional preparation. My plan was either doing...
