Worst tasting kava I've ever had!

[Zaphod]

I have been known to shake my head like a dog, that then develops into a full body shake followed by a large blaeach guttural sound when encountering a really strong or bitter grog. This is then followed by the usual talking to myself and psyching myself up for the final push to get the rest of it down "you got this" like bro talk in the gym.

I shake my head as well like a twitch thing

@Kava Time for sake of balance I had the Ambae's tonight and it tasted fine. Nice effects too.

It is also very worth noting that most of Kava Time's kavas are not fire dried (Ambae's included). Ironically, I find Savusavu much more pleasant tasting than Ambae's; but man that stuff [Ambae's] is potent! The description usually says whether they are fire dried or not. Also, the intensity of smokiness varies from batch to batch.

as always, Squanch is in a separate category, all by itself. Remember, "Just because it tastes like New Jersey doesn't mean it's bad."

Why did you mention Squanch ? Kona Kava Instant isn't Squanch. This is the one I bought Amazon product

Which are you saying is potent here? The savusavu or the ambae? Trying to ask which is stronger.

Do you know I've not tried any squanch kava yet. I shied away from heady Fijians for quite a while as they just weren't my bag. I might just have to try a bag of each for reviewing purposes.

Squanch Waka is a whole different animal. No pun intended. It seems to be heady and heavy in all the right ways imho.

They're both potent. But the Ambae's is more potent, but heavier. The "potent" comment was made in reference to the fact that I don't prefer the taste, but I like the potency (unless I go overboard; this is an example of a noble kava that can give me an afterglow the next day).

This is quite strange, considering I find Savusavu to be much better tasting than both Taveuni’s Secret and Ambae’s Kava. Maybe I’ve just got two different batches than yours, or maybe it’s because I immediately chase the Kava with water, therefore eliminating the chance of getting an aftertaste. Idk.

It could well be just this batch.

Sheesh, I'm glad that Squanch has been brought up. I thought I was only one of few that find Squanch (Waka infact.) so difficult to chug down, the taste is so strong and tastes like very bitter powdered wood.

BUT SQUANCH IS GREAT STRONG KAVA! please don't let this put you off buying.
