Bi-Han (璧漢)✌
Hello, KF
I'm semi new to kava. Well sort of. My first experience with kava was with amazon fiji kava
. I should have done my research before hopping right onto the kava boat in setting sail. Upon receiving my kava from amazon I was super eager to try it out, since i had heard such good things about kava. I went to the local mart picked up some silk milk, a strainer, and a giant measuring cup. The cashier greeted me with a "what tf" are you making expression? 
Fast forward.....I Set up everything and began the process. I open the bag and smell kava for the first time it smells peppery
. I grab a giant Tablespoon and shovel out what I believe was around 5 tablespoon into the blender. Skip ahead to the first sip 
. I chug it down, BIG MISTAKE. I felt utterly sick to my stomach and wanted to Vomit but i push through. For the next few weeks I couldn't even stomach the smell of kava w/o wanting to vomit.
Fast forward....a few weeks later. (After I built up the nerve to try again) I began experimenting with kava to try to find a way to cover the taste. I tried everything from Coffee to Nesquik. Today though, I finally made a breakthrough. I was on the very last of my kava. So I just to decided to finish the the rest off. I emptied the bag into some milk, blended , strained and then bottled it. I Packed my bag and headed off.
Fast forward... I arrive to campus and look around for a place to sit. I finally find a bench to sit down. I open up my bag, take out my bottled kava and start sipping. Something peculiar happens as I sit down on this bench trying another batch of my Kava Blend though. The taste doesn't bother me, I dare to say it was actually enjoyable. Then as I sat there drinking this kava and feeling great that I finally got used to the kava taste, I started to feel some of the effects of kava for the first time. I felt extremely comfortable
and at peace. Some female comes in sits down next to me , and I don't usually go out of my way to talk to strangers but today I was like what the "Hay".
We talk for what felt like a few minutes, but I check my watch and realize its been an hour. I'm late for my class.
I get her number and then head off to my class.
I'm a few minutes late, but I manage to talk the professor into letting me into class.
Morel of the story: If you're drinking Kava make sure you have a Alarm set or a free schedule.
But all in all, Great day.
I do realize that the kava that i used was subpar though. So i was hoping you guys could recommend me a new kava to try next. I'm thinking about micronized because i've read that it mixes better and is more potent. Oh also, where do i purchase some new kava because the kava shop is empty, and i would love to be able to get some new kava before next week.
