Kava Tolerance

When I started taking kava I noticed a dramatic tolerance reversal but I noticed the exact opposite lately, which is strange. I decided to stop taking it for a month, then came back to it recently to notice my usual dose of 3 tbsp no longer works. I would usually take it at night with an empty stomach and feel immediate anxiety relief with a nice hint of krunk, but now even when I take twice my dose I don't feel any effects at all. Do I need to work my reverse tolerance back up?

Occasionally yes, if you quit for a while your body will have to build back up its kavalactone content. I personally have not noticed an actual tolerance to kava, and I've been consuming it for years. I've been drinking 55 grams kneaded into 1 3/4 cups water for the majority of the time. By chance you didn't change kava, or open a different bag since you quit a month ago?
