@muddywaters does mixing it with more water help? I find with the stronger tasting kavas that using more water and drinking more regular shells helps quite a bit.
There's that, and the strength of the Kava is better when it doesn't taste so bad that it causes nausea. It's obviously not increased so much as it is "revealed". It's pretty hard to listen to the Kava when all you can "hear" is deafening nausea. That's probably why the Taveuni's Secret I've been having recently was seemingly not very heady. Although, I can't really be sure of this since I only got good results, just now, out of Ambae's Kava. I had tried Ambae's before, without good results because it made me nauseated, so I think it's a reasonable guess that nausea can ruin the Kava experience if it's strong enough.
