This kava is not good for being around other non-kava drinkers. It creates a nice pleasant bubble, especially the morning after, but it is so easily popped by loud, "brassy" people. So far the best wichmannii I've drunk is still Chief's Jungle, as far as being around the unkrunked. I'd like to try Isa from several different vendors. The flavor is very nice, and I love how the effects build up slowly and stay late. I'm making another gallon because it's an excellent study kava, the best I've found so far. It helps me focus very well, without being so high in kavain that I start to focus on my own euphoria.
