I read so many reviews of this lately that I had to try it. I love heady kavas, and this one doesn't disappoint.
This came in the mail yesterday evening around 5:30 PM, and I tried it for the first time a couple of hours later. It had only been about 2 hours since I had eaten dinner, so the effects weren't full strength, and there was some nausea because it made me feel a little full, but it was still enjoyable. Over the course of 4 hours, I had 3 servings and was feeling ok. The nausea was bad with the first serving, even though I added a bit of ginger powder to it.
This morning I got up, and I have 5 hours before I have to go to work, and the effects usually only last 2 hours or so, so I figured it would be safe. Just 2 tbsp on an empty stomach is nice, my face is numb, heady feeling that's getting stronger. I'm about to have breakfast - bacon, to see if the fat in it will potentiate the kava.
I feel like this will help me get stuff done. I'm having a few friends over on Thursday and need to clean my place, and with some kava I might actually be motivated to do it.
Usually I wouldn't drink kava BEFORE work, I don't want it to affect my performance, but I still have several hours before I need to go, and it's my musician job so I'll be ok. It's pretty heady and not sedating, so I won't be sleeping at work. Hopefully the anti-anxiety effects will help with performance anxiety. I'm really tempted to have a second serving but I won't. That might be too much. I'll wait until after work.
The only drawback to this stuff is the taste - yesterday I had a hard time with nausea because it tasted pretty bad, but today it didn't seem so bad.
Summary: This is a very enjoyable kava, once you get past the taste. Nice effects, good heady feeling after only 2 tbsps. After last night, I even felt some calming effects lasting into the next day, which I haven't really experienced before.
I will update this thread tonight after I'm home from work and am able to have a couple of shells to really give it a shot.
