Please reserve a jar for me. I hinted at it in another post but put me down for 1 for sure.

What is the lactone profile for the extract? Is it in favor of kavain and against DHM and DHK? Is this low nausea and body?
Almost 40% Kavain + Dihidrokavain.
Bliss!

I hope it doesn't have a lot of DHK because DHK causes nausea and dizziness.
Kavain is higher. Our prerogative with extraction is to keep DHM low.
Good test is to try our product.

Thanks for keeping DHM low. I know it's a controversy or sorts. I sort of need a driving kava, for road-rage situations.
I really liked the coconut stuff. It was hard not to use the whole jar at once. It was such a kitten cuddle. It was as if someone put the most comforting experience one could ever have... the favorite food, the happiest memory, the cutest kitten, the return of Kastom... in a jar.

I gratefully received the peppermint extra strength recently, and I'm grateful because it seems someone stole my jar of Honey-Lemon. (Nono)
I hate to admit this, but I usually I can't stand coconut flavor. I've been assured I'd like the real thing, but I'm suspicious of anything flavored coconut. I'd prefer hot spicy pepper flavored extract- a challenge I'm up to!

Just received my double strength extract and just in time! I came down with a terrible fever and cold this weekend and was miserable. Terrible sore throat, this double strength extract did wonders for my mood and curing my aching throat. Thank you Paradise kava you saved the day for me.

Mine just came in the mail and I liked it. Reverse tolerance must still be high for me so I'll give a real review once I can fully appreciate it. But for the time being, I will say I had no problems taking it. The peppermint helped. And I enjoyed some music for a while afterward. Seems like it was a short term effect tho. I'm looking forward to reading other folks' experiences with this product.
Oh and I want to ask-- does this need to be taken on an empty stomach like regular kava? I'm kind of an avid snacker.

I'm curious, how does this compare with instant kava like BKH green or N@H shaman? Or is it something in a completely different realm from instants? I havnt yet had the pleasure from buying from paradise but I will be in the near future when I have I live in a dorm and will be looking for somewhat easier methods of taking my nightly kava 
I got my peppermint extract! so excited, just a little background, I contacted Adil earlier this year to see if they had any extracts that were sugar-free. They didn't at the time but we had talked about possibly making a special order for me without sugar. After the idea marinated for a bit I was so excited to hear that Adil was going to work on a full batch of a new sugar-free extract. Ive been bugging him off and on asking about it for the last 6 months but it has finally arrived.
I didn't know what to expect as I hadn't tried an extract before but I'd have to say this stuff is great. It has a caramel/molasses color and consistency. I don't know what others think but I love the flavor, I get 90% peppermint flavor with only a hint of actual kava flavor at the end. I really am not a fan of the flavor of kava and I usually have to follow it with a quick chaser of almond milk. But with this stuff I didn't even need a chaser. It completely numbed my mouth and throat and lately most kava doesn't numb me any more. The only thing I need to work on is I think I haven't built reverse tolerance with this strain. For as potent as this stuff looks I am only getting mild effects so far. But even that has been pleasant, I get a warming in the back of my skull and an overall happy feeling without any drugged out feel. I did notice later on a little wobbly leg effect too, but it feels mostly kavain. I'm gonna take it daily for the next month or so and I'll post if the effects get stronger. It might just be that this strain doesn't work that well on me. Paradise ISA works great on me but their Hawaiian kava doesn't give me a very strong effect and I think this extract is derived from that. Overall though, if you have a good reaction to their Hawaiian then I would highly recommend this extract.
Krunked, BHK green works great on me, but shaman doesn't. So far this extract for me is stronger than Shaman but not as strong as BHK green. But it might just be the reverse tolerance thing, I assume for most people this stuff will be strong. Visually this extract is scary how potent it looks. Pure gooey essence of kava.

Thank you guys for the reviews! Happy that you guys appreciate the strength and flavor.
Until the next Limited Edition (maybe a Cinnamon, Cardamon and Ginger?) Who knows...

Adil, this batch is amazing!!! Just tried the double strength for the first time today. Question... What happens if I don't stir the extract and just eat it? Am I eating pure kavalactones or pure lecithin or something? What do I gain by stirring?

Yes! Do it, and I'll see if I can have Elizabeth II knight you, assuming of course you're willing to slay dragons should one happen to menace the Big Island.paradisekava said:
Prince, are those your "flavors"? I'm never sure what the "chai" flavor market looks like. Seems like it would be a small one.
I have a prototype which is not review worthy. When you place an order next, whenever that is, ask for a sample. (Unless we have an open order with you now)
