Im of mixed opinion on this kava. I don't favor the smell of the light cocoa/greyish colored grinds, which is absent the slight sweet aroma which I associate with fresh good kava. Its very uninspiring in aroma. Taste follows through... very flat and woody and blah. None of that nice cashewy flavor (like tevueni secret has and which I love). I also experience a bit of nausea with this one, whereas again to compare to tevueni secret I can drink without any nausea whatsoever. Maybe just doesn't mesh with me as well.
Having said all this, the effect is strong and nicely heady. It seems to have a really wonderful uplifting effect where you just feel happy and in a good mood. I also like that it doesn't drain you. .. nice during the day. No sleepy feelings. It's definitely above average potency too. I noticed good effect after only one shell. And the come on is smooth and nice.
So in conclusion, the flat taste and aroma and slight nausea turn me off, whereas the heady uplifting effect might be redeeming because it really is nice. Hence Im ultimately not sure if I will add this permanently to my collection. But I'm very glad to have tried it and would say it's good kava. JMHO.
