Micronized Instant Kava Powder - Vanuatu Borongoru (4 oz)

I mean, not really. Time only works in one direction. But these guys are *fast* F-A-S-T. I don't think I've ever waited more than three days for an item from them. But let's face it, you probably didn't enter the search terms "SPEEDY+ KAVA" (and if you did, you didn't wind up on a page with the Vanuatu Borongoru strain ;b )This stuff works for lazy people like me because it's INSTANT. But you can't be completely lazy. It has the consistency of flour and- like flour- if your chonk a big old heaping teaspoon full into a glass of cold liquid and proceed to stir, you're gonna have a BAD TIME. I recommend using a warm drink ( I like tea with milk) and sort of sprinkling the powder in then whisking it into the drink. It takes no more than a minute and there are no chunks of kava globules . Trust me, I am *super* lazy and if it took any more effort than that I wouldn't be having it.Keep that whisk or a spoon handy because- yes, as mentioned- some of the material does settle at the bottom of the cup. You may remember the old jingle: "The best part of waking up is avoiding a big nasty surprise swallow of pure kava glop at the bottom of your cup" It doesn't take that much effort, though, really. Remember, you are listening to a chronically lazy person here. But you DO need to give the cup/mug an a few intermittent stirs throughout your "beverage enjoyment."Speaking of "beverage enjoyment". . . you're g0dd@mn right it tastes bad. That's how you know it's kava.

I have been suffering from anxiety for a long time and decided to give this a try. After doing some research, I figured I would try this specific strain. I was a bit apprehensive that it would work due to the idea of a "reverse tolerance " but the first time I tried it, to my surprise, I definitely felt a decrease in my anxiety and a little bit of warmess in my chest which was relaxing. But it only lasted about 20 minutes! And reading a lot of others reviews I am not the only one which experienced this. They say to try it on an empty stomach which I did. And by the way, I highly doubt anyone is drinking this stuff for the taste lol but the taste didnt bother me it was the texture. I first mixed it with orange juice and that was a mistake! I later tried it with some milk and since milk is thicker to begin with , it helped me gulp it down easier without thinking about the texture. But I decided to give it 4 out of 5 stars because it did help more than I thought but not as much as I hoped. I just ordered a different strain, Fiji Loa Waka, well see how that helps!

This may work for some people, but anecdotally speaking it just doesn't work for me. I tried many times over and over to get the relief that many people experience, but in my case it just wasn't happening. I became sick of trying so I have since given up.To start, this stuff tastes like absolute dirt - literally speaking. I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying a cup of this, just take garden variety dirt and mix it in a cup and that's what it tastes like. I didn't experience any calming effects, I tried multiple times knowing that it often takes multiple takes to experience it, but it never happened for me. All I got was a really numb mouth and a sick stomach. I went through many videos and guides to make sure I was doing it right, but it just never clicked.All this being said, just because it never worked for me that doesn't mean it won't work for you. For me it was disgusting and ineffective but enough people attest to this that it might just be an anecdotal experience and perhaps you should give it a try if you're interested. For me it was just a numb mouth and nausea every time. Hopefully if you try it then it will be different for you.

This is really good stuff but gosh dang it is expensive as all get out! I get almost 4 days out of one can and such it is very costly I do say oh Lord! Take 10 bucks off the price and I guarntee that this will be a number one seller! It was 35.99 at my time of purchase. You can almost get a pound of good stuff for 4 ounces of this. If you got money to burn, go for it. You wont be sorry. No straining needed at all, just mix with some juice and you are set!

Great product, Vanautu Borongoru is relaxing and mellow in smaller doses, while delivering a good kick if drank in larger doses but then expect it will make you feel sleepy not soon after. Great for winding down at the end of a long day or in moderation can be drank through out the day. Kava is an acquired taste (a little bit like beer) While I cant say i've grown to like the taste, it does go down better than when I first tried it especially with some coconut milk mix with water first then add the coconut milk as it wont get lumpy. A word of caution to anyone on a ketogenic diet (Low carb) the micronized will kick you out of Ketosis. www.kalmwithkava.com is a very informative website and when I had an issue and they were very prompt in resolving it. Will definitely buy from them again and they have more varieties of kava's available on their website

I don't get it. I've been regularly using 2 tbsp of 'Kavafied' brand Kava Bati in the AluBall each day and enjoying the effect it provides. I thought trying an 'instant' Kava powder would be a nice change for days I don't want to deal with the shaker, etc. so I bought this.I started with 1 tbsp in water and mixed with a frother and felt nothing but a little tongue tingling. Drank another 1 tbsp and still nothing more than tingling. At the price point, this should be *more* effective per tablespoon than ground kava root (of which much is discarded).Perhaps it's just me and the types of Kava in the two products are different enough to not work the same way for me. I wanted to like this but more money for weaker effects isn't going to work for me.

I didn’t feel any different after forcing myself to chug large amounts of this powder hoping for any effects to relive my pain / anxiety. The only thing I felt was a numb throat. And I tried taking this for almost a month straight every day, and way over the recommended amount

Great stuff but very expensive. You will have dreams for sure (I don’t unless I take this before bed). You get used to the flavor for sure.
