I've really been enjoying the Nambawan! I have one tip. After kneading and straining the kava don't throw away the root. I'm three washes in on the same batch and the water is still turning a deep yellow/cream color and it is still working great each batch. I've been making batches with 2/3 cup and 4 cups of water in each one. I wrap the kava in a t-shirt and dip it into the bowl of water, massaging it while it's under water from at least 10 minutes to 30 minutes. I then twist the t-shirt to get all of the liquid out and then take the kava from the t-shirt and put it in a zip lock bag that I place in the refrigerator for my next session. I then wash the t-shirt under the sink and let it dry. Before using it another time I wet it first so it doesn't soak up the potent water. Enjoy! I have my Borogu coming in the mail tomorrow. I'm looking forward to trying it!
Stay in school my friend and try to not rely on these substances to deal with your feelings. Keep working your way through high school and do something great with your life sooner than later!
