Powdered Kava Review 'Ono

[Zac Imiola (Herbalist)]

It seems this kava is a little less potent than what I'm used to. I feel as though the 2 tablespoons I used wasnt enough but latley I've been delving deeper anyway ! Ultimately it's very nice. I started my day out with yerba mate so I'm a ready a little stimulated, adding this kava just intensified that stimulation and I find my self with a tight jaw (classic stim)
I feel very heady effects and yet not overwhelmed by them ... usually I would have to feel krunk to get this stupid smile on my face but for some reason I barley feel krunk or dizzyish and yet the stupid smile is there ! Which is quite a blessing !. This kava is very backround yet the effects you want are their. Everything feels nice and calm and I'm in a good mood but it feels less of a burden to be on kava this early as it usually would. Once again which is a good thing for me
I highly reccomend this kava for work !!! Thanks cactus I'll review all the others soon as well

Oh ya and the muslin bag was awesome it's so smooth and works amazing !!

Hey there @Mrbinx69 !

I'm going to post here what I sent over PM a bit ago about 'Ono:

Yea, the 'Ono is not a heavy hitter. I like it for a really relaxing time without the usual krunk feel. I would consider it more of a gentleman's kava if there ever was one. It's got a nice oily texture, the taste is very similar to that of fresh kava, and it's just plain good kava. For reference, though, you should use 2 tablespoons per shell. Each night I consume 8 tablespoons, which equals half a cup and makes 3-4 shells.

I think anyone trying only 2 tablespoons of any kava would barely feel a thing

I heavily disagree about that tho sir. 2 tablespoons spread out maybe.
But I know when I pound 2 tablespoons of my usual kava Ecspecially in the am before eating I typically am krunked.... ( I should've put up their that I'm part of the LIGHTWEIGHT kava club)

Also I shouldve mentioned that I use HEAPING tablespoons so I prolly do use 4 tablespoons per 8oz lol.

After a strenuous yoga session the previous night my body was rebelling and In need of serious muscle relaxation. (I achieved the crow position - balancing my body weight just on my forearms. But paying for it the next day!).
I usually go for the mahakea but recently I've found it a little anxiety-provoking and consequently muscle tightening - at least for an hour or two. So I needed something fast and heavy but not overly so. Ah! Break out the cactus kava 'Ono! And yes indeed it is nui nui Ono! I'm a kava sipper for the first half shell and this Ono had a very different taste to other kava's. Slightly peppery, very grassy and fresh, followed by brief bitterness. But very smooth going down.
I don't need a lot and as I had a barre class later in the day, didn't want to be couch locked so I just stayed with 6 ounces water mixed with 1 heaping tablespoon.
Within minutes felt internal tension lessening and an hour later I realized the muscle soreness was just about gone. No anxiety, just a very relaxed happy feeling. Meditated a while, took it easy the rest of the day and had a very successful barre class.
If this is the feeling I get from just one shell I can't wait for the opportunity to try two!
Mahalo nui loa, cactus kava. Ono is indeed Ono!
