I am quite new to drinking kava on a regular level. I started with BKH Borogu kava. Was not quite sure how much effect I would feel considering I haven't quite built up my reverse tolerance just yet!
I used 16 oz. of warm water and half a cup of ground up root powder. Prepared using traditional way- I worked the solution for about 25 minutes or so. Drank 8 oz. right away. Taste was not unpleasant at all. Peppery, earthy. Felt numbness on my tongue, extending down into my esophagus right away. Also felt warmth and some "lightness." Drank another 8 oz. about 20 minutes later. Very pleasant. Felt extremely relaxed. When I closed my eyes felt complete quiet- no chatter in my head. Felt as if I was in the middle of the woods. That sense of calm lasted for about 2 hours or so. Felt relaxed, but not sleepy. In fact, felt quite social and talkative. Cognitive functions intact. Minimal effects on BP or pulse. No nausea or headaches. No hangovers.
Just wanted to share my experience. I also have some nambawan and koniak from BKH. I am thinking about waiting a while and sticking with Borogu before digging into those. Any tips would be welcome. Also any strain suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks all. Looking forward to learning from ya'all.
