Nene isn't one to put you out of your wits. It's takes an evening and subtly adds a blanket of calm until you eventually feel like going to sleep. It's not punchy. I really loved this instant kava. It's perfect for an evening with friends (when that's fully allowed).
I saw some mahakea instant, and some other things back in stock on GHK's site today. Got me some medium grind while I was there. It'll be my second order. I really enjoy that mahakea.
