Greetings to all! I've been lurking a while and finally made a purchase from Rex which arrived yesterday. Here's how it went:
50cl (16.9oz.)water + 3tbs Tongan pride. Kneaded in pantyhose, lukewarm water for 7min:
16:10 25cl down the hatch; pleasant mouth numbness, taste not nearly as bad as expected... Not bad at all, really.
16:45 other 12.5cl down. Pleasant flavor and feeling going down. Feeling anxious... Mostly because I'm hyper alert to feeling something/hoping to...
17:00 other 6.25cl down. Feeling something hard to define..
17:15 remaining 6.25cl. Will wait a little to see. Feeling a very slight body buzz. No stomach discomfort nor nausea to speak of.
17:55 made another 50cl-3tbs kneaded for 10 min. and drank a third. We'll see. Little change so far.
18:05 much better being somewhere warmer.
18:08 nice sensations near a heat source. Starting to feel more tranquil.
18:12 drank another third. Hopefully will kick it up a notch. I drink a lot of fluids normally, so a liter of water in two hours doesn't discomfort me.
18:30 drinking final third. I definitely felt something when I stood up moments ago. I think I'll make another.
18:50 made some more. 4.5 tbs & 50cl liquid of which 30cl is 1,5% milk and drank half.
19:10 Definitely feeling a "drunkenness" difficult to explain. Not dizzy or stumbling. It takes longer for my eyes to focus than normal. Limbs are heavy but coordination seems unaltered. Pleasant. Certainly not "euforic", but I suppose I must "pay my dues" as they say. Stomach seems fine for now. That's a plus! Not sure if making more would be a waste. Still have 25cl of this last brew left.
19:30 Drinking 12.5cl. Already feeling what might be hunger? Something down there. Don't think it's adverse. I must say, however, that this root is highly diuretic. My little 3 year old is cranky and loud. Definitely not conducive to relaxing. To be expected; she missed her nap.
19:42 6.25cl of this stronger brew down. I probably won't make more for tonight. Feeling it, though. Having no frame of reference for kava , I can only say I like it. I'm affected by cold, though. It doesn't anesthetize the body like alcohol. Nor the mind as far as I can tell. Conversing with people not a problem. I'd say I definitely have more patience.
20.00 Finished final 6.25cl. Done for the evening. Had 2 fruit boxes in the interim and that took care of whatever was happening in the tummy. I'm feeling like a hot shower and some quiet time. If it only gets better with experiences, I'm a believer! I have had an elevated heart rate on and off throughout. Is that normal? Might be the quantity for a first time. Could also be anxiousness for the same reason.
21:25 Still feeling pretty good, but also tired. Bedtime soon. Ate half a piece of pizza. No appetite for much else.
22:08 sleepytime.. Still feeling it.
6:40 woke up at 5.03 (I work early)this morning feeling refreshed. Really surprising. I made some more. 75cl (25cl 1.5% milk + 50cl water brought to warm in microwave) + 6 tbsp kava.
I have plan as to when I'll drink it. Probably when I clear out this morning rush.
I also have the tudei from Rex. Any comments are welcome!
So it's 9:00 here and I think I'll start drinking a little. I had breakfast at 5:30 and brought some kiwi with me.
