I open the package and first thing I notice is that they shipped the kava to me in a brick and the package does not have a ziploc zipper, so I have to open it with scissors. I break the brick up with a fork and make a grog with my trusty aluball (which has lasted me exactly a year now, happy birthday!). After 4 minutes I have a medium brown, thick, pungent liquid that screams of getting super rooted. I have had several experiences with this kava that range from strong to uncomfortably intense.
The strongest experience I have had with this kava was after a long shift at my restaurant job. I had not been eating since 4:00 pm and it was not 11:00, all I had consumed since was some K@. The grog is thick and has an intense vanuatuan flavor that stings my mouth more than any kava I've had before. It hits immediately with a feeling of relaxation that peaks after 5 minutes and I am unable to move anything but my eyes. When I look at the lights in my room subtle patterns dance around it. This is the first "psychedelic" experience I have had with kava. It was almost uncomfortably intense and gave me some anxiety, but I could barely stay awake after 30 minutes.
Right now my reverse tolerance is at a low point but I am still pretty rooted. I haven't eaten since 6 and I drank it at 9:45. My head doesn't feel particularly "swirly" but my entire body feels like its buzzing and I feel intensely euphoric. Waves of pleasure and excitement radiate out from the center of my chest and I feel increadibly optimistic. I would say that the euphoria is more intense than K@ but not as intense as MDMA, maybe a bit less euphoric than a moderate dose of oxycodone. I'm starting to feel a bit tired now, and have used the bathroom twice in the last 10 minutes. Overall a surprisingly intense experience given I have not been drinking kava as much lately.
Taste: 4/5
Headiness: 4/5
Heaviness: 5/5
Overall: 5/5
Overall a great kava
