I've used this kava a few times now and always during the day. I find it excellent for getting day time relaxation. The powder is very fine again and very mild tasting, I'd go so far as to say it is actually nice tasting, no surprises for a Tongan kava.
This gives mostly all heady effects, coming on quickly and without a lot of euphoria just an uplifted happy feeling and moderate relaxation. One thing that I have noticed is that the effects seem to last for a good 2 hours and putting another shell in after an hour leads to increased effects but also quite bad nausea. Even with one shell I find it can give a little more nausea than I would usually expect. I thought this could be to do with the micronized but the borogu micro doesn't have that effect so probably not that. I have learnt to manage this by only having one shell and having something with ginger on hand. It doesn't put me off the kava as such but I will definitely stick to one shell for daytime use.
Overall I would definitely recommend this for daytime users, maybe a little too uplifting to use in the evening unless it's to go to a party or something and you've got time to wind down after.
I should say that my review of this is in contrast to the borogu micro which is a really good kava. If I had reviewed these separately I may have given slightly different ratings but as I'm actually reviewing the two more or less together it's likely to have had an effect.
