If kava has taught us anything, it's that positivity and inclusiveness are paramount. We aim to help as much as possible, especially when it comes to our beloved root
Hey, we exist to get questions
NA Beer is no problem. I believe this would be similar to kombucha, and they sell that at kava bars pretty ubiquitously.

I can confirm this. I'm in several forums, but this here is the friendliest place of all.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate and ask them here. This is your thread.

OK so I did think of one....I'm going to be playing a little DnD later and figured I'd enjoy a little Kava during. Earlier I mixed with apple juice and that was fine. But I make an Iced herbal blend of Rooibos, Lemongrass, and Hibiscus. Could I add the kava to that? I wasn't sure if other herbs (or those specifically) could interfere.
You're good to go. Nothing there looks like it would interfere with kava.

OK...so that resulted in a massive amount of clumped up Kava at the bottom despite the stirring....too much ice/too cold?
I ended up adding room temp water at the end and shaking the shit out of it. THat seemed to work. I also suspect that I'm about to get a lot of relaxation all at once O.O
I thought it was a little weak...

A good way to get around this is to add about 1/3 of whatever your liquid is to your container. Add the powder in, and stir it up well in that 1/3 liquid. It makes it easier to get it really dissolved without splashing it everywhere.
It's the little things...THat makes total sense...like when you're thickening a soup or stew. You add the flour to just a little bit in a separate bowl then add it to the rest to thicken it up.
That last bit felt more like a shot
lol
For real though, kava is a process that every one of us continues on a daily basis. We hone our prep methods until we finally settle on one and roll with it. Everyone is just a little different, so don't be afraid to sample around. You may find a kava that works even better than the one you have now, because I've discovered that kava effects each one of us just a little differently.
Oh definitely cheaper to go traditional medium grind. It just takes more work. You sort of pay for them to do that in the price of instant.

Any recommendations for me to have a look at?
Right now I'm having an amazing time with a new vendor, Fiji Vanua Kava. The malo tongan is just about to break into my top 2 spots for daily drinkers. I've been drinking it all week, and it's quite consistent, also really helps me sleep and I wake up feeling great. Be that as it may, not all kavas create the same effects for everyone. I would probably suggest a kalm with kava medium grind sample pack. It includes different kavas and strainer cloths in order to make them.

I'm looking into it now, as always, THANK YOU!'
Are there any vendors I should stay clear of? That maybe don't have the same quality standards? I doubt I'll wander to far away from anything you all recommend I just don't want to accidentally get something with mold or some shit that might kill me lol

If you keep your purchases to the vendors we talk about here on the forums and the ones listed as vendors, you shouldn't have any trouble. As always, if you have a question about a vendor, please share it with us, and we'll do our best to answer to the best of our ability.
Save them, no harm in having a backup, I still keep Yogi tea bags around. I brew half the box, lol but thats not the point.
