Kava Padawan
Note: earlier in the day i had a few shells of more BHK's Borogu. The slight body relaxation i felt may have been from some lingering effects of that. I was a little nauseous from those early shells so that carried over into this...
I had 4 shells, 15-20 minutes apart while doing some dishes and cooking dinner. The taste of this is something else. It's rich and smoky. Reminded me of a chipotle type smokiness. it was really hard to taste anything but that. I wonder if that's because i used fairly hot water. Next time I'll use just warm water in the extraction.
As i've noticed other Kavain heavy kavas, the first couple shells was just establishing a base for the next shells. I could feel effects building on shell #2 and by shell 3 i was feeling the effects. Definitely a heady kava but also provided me with the warming shield effect (again, maybe i could attribute this to the leftover Borogu being potentiated, a combination i want to try in the future). even between shells (like 10 minutes past drinking) the effects continued to subtly intensify. Shell #4 had me in a good place, ready for dinner and really zoned in to the session of Mass Effect 3 i have going right now. I was feeling anxious earlier, think DHK (like borogu has) or DHM kinda puts me in a weird funk if I'm not careful, but the anxiety is gone and replaced with a warmth and spacey feeling yes, but clear mind when i choose to focus.
Great kava. Definitely a gourmet experience all around. Feels like a holiday, for what that's worth. One I really want to try Micronized!
