First time trying Van3, it reminds me a lot of BKH Green Instant, in a very good way, it's a bit less peppery than Green, but has a stronger kava smell to it. When I first opened the bag, I wondered if it was actually an instant the powder was so fine, but when I strained it there were some bigger fibers in there. This seems like a white kava, like Fu'u, but even lighter in color. The effects seem pretty nice, I haven't got effects this strong in awhile, it feels very mellow, definitely krunk. I did 64g with 3g of lecithin granules and 1 tsp of Amylase, warm water to 700 ml and lots of shaking, using my shake method.
