This stuff is amazing

[Ptarmigan]

Hi all! I'm Zoe and I just finished off a 2oz sample of Borongoru from Kalm with Kava. This stuff is amazing. I am a perfectionist-in the bad way- with ADHD and depression. When I drink kava, I find I almost CAN'T worry about things! I can plan what to do about them, but I don't obsess. It tastes awful, though.

Good stuff indeed! For the taste try a squirt from one of those Squeezy lime juice bottles in each shell, an awesome tip that I learned from @Squanch72 now I don't drink a shell without it.

Welcome to the forums!

Really!?

I know. I think Borongoru is pretty tasty too.

Hahah the lime sounds good but I never thought to do that

The first time I tried it, it was like the unholy child of really bitter beer and coffee with a side of Satan. I mix it up with some tropical juice (pineapple, mango) and coconut milk and it's not so bad.

I chose it b/c I read it was not too nasty. It is not too nasty. Still not an explosion of deliciousness, though.

I was more trolling @Mrbinx69 for his non-descriptive "really?" , but Borongoru is a smooth one. Make sure to cool it before drinking!

Yup, I was a doubter too but it is seriously good. Give it a try, it will only cost you a buck.

I'm gonna Have too !

I find the taste to be part of the experience these days. It's grows on you eventually...well, me. Maybe not you.

Would a Squanch steer you wrong
Stick with the lime though as the lemon doesn't mask the taste as well. That tartness of the lime just draws your taste buds to it and away from the kava taste.

@Ptarmigan, Nice one there Zoe! And you bring up a damn good point. Who cares about the taste when you get "peace of mind".

Hey Squanch, I think we just figured out what that Harry Nilsson song is all about -
"Now lemme get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot' up"!

Ha ha ha, I heard that song a couple weeks ago and the song did have more meaning for me than it used to

I love Lime and Ginger Ale with Instant or Micronized Kava from GHK but only if I'm making a big weekend Kava Kocktail. When I'm getting Squancified, I just take it like a man with a little coconut water. I gotta admit, I'm feeling pretty manly right now and a little giddy and sociable with my customers. Good job there @Squanch72! I can see why you are able to take a shell in the morning without passing out later. Daytime Kava for sure.
