Now I drink Vanuatu Kava Store's Quick Kava Premium and Kava Kordial (when on the go). I strongly recommend that kava enthusiasts read Lebot's Kava: The Pacific Elixir. <br /><br />I am curious about how VKS' Quick Kava Premium weighs in against Nakamal at Home's Fire Island and Shaman instant kava powders. Could the Kavasseur do a taste-off?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792153498638854635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270494273456113670.post-27392226080245753152010-06-22T00:55:06.609-07:002010-06-22T00:55:06.609-07:00When I return to the US, I will try and get some o...When I return to the US, I will try and get some other Kavas reviewed.

Been looking for a summary like this that really explains the differences between some of the products out there.<br />I'm to the point where I'm contemplating the pleasures of Kavasseurship after dabbling in various forms of the root, including liquid extract, paste, and instant, all of which had a pleasant enough effect, but I somehow felt I wasnt getting the true Kava experience. So I tried my first root powder, some Kona Farms Mahakea, which I liked more than all the other stuff, more well rounded buzz, mellow, nice. Looking forward to trying some other varieties, specifically from Nakamalathome, so thanks for the resource!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270494273456113670.post-33761089510646578012010-05-06T21:26:25.869-07:002010-05-06T21:26:25.869-07:00Just thought id throw in my two cents here,

WOW kava-nakamalathome <br />2. Chiefs jungle-nakamalathome<br />3. Stone kava- nakamalathome<br />4. Tongan kava-nakamalathome<br />5. Shaman instant-nakamalathome<br /><br />For some reason tongan hits me pretty hard, and I like the WOW effect better than chiefs although only slightly. Stone is always great, and so is shaman. These are what I use when the goal is "krunkness"<br /><br />weekday<br />1. Black sand-nakamalathome<br />2. Nuguini kava-nakamalathome<br />3. Fiji kava-nakamalathome<br />4. Mahakea- Kona kava farm<br />5. White sand-nakamalathome<br /><br />These are my after work but I do have work the next day kavas.chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270494273456113670.post-41153057263690947432010-05-02T17:14:23.339-07:002010-05-02T17:14:23.339-07:00Thanks, Joe!

After soaking and blending/ kneading the root powder, I push it through a tamis, or drum sieve. Right now I use a 9" from Fante's Kitchen Wares with a small silicone scraper. It works like a charm, and is much easier to clean than a straining bag. It even gets grit out of a very fine ground powder, like Nakamal @ Home's White Sand. I am charmed.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270494273456113670.post-81840404305065408942010-04-24T17:40:31.287-07:002010-04-24T17:40:31.287-07:00Fire Island has a remarkably strong "Krunknes...Fire Island has a remarkably strong "Krunkness" attitude change, as far as inducing sociability. Shaman, on the other hand, is one of the kavas that influences me to withdraw from sociability and harem singsing blong kava.<br /><br />Black Sand kava is "not bad." I don't mean the effects aren't bad, or the taste, but rather after even a rather week shell of it, I am filled with a sense that the world, (or at least my corner of it) is not nearly as dreadful as I imagined it an hour ago.Kaidenhttp://www.kavakane.to/matatahi.jpgnoreply@blogger.com
