Straining finely ground kava?

[kl.kavakavakava]

I have paradises fijian strainer bag,

I put in a couple tbsp of finely ground fu'u and massage it, 

by the time I'm done and open the bag, theres about 20% the volume of kava of what I put in,

is this normal?

I feel like this makes the whole idea of straining pointless

That's good as far as I'm concerned. Means your getting a lot of the kava. Nothing makes me gag as much as floaters in my kava.

You could try what I only ever use & that's a woman's stocking. Just fit the stocking into a tall cup ..put your kava in & tie a knott in it & throw that in your water.
