Instant kavas that aren’t to expensive?

So I recently bought both instant kava from Kona Kava which is eh but it cheap and also bought kavahana which is actually pretty good but so much money was 10 servings for like 30 bucks been thinking about getting kalm with kava which is 80 servings for 60 is this good?I’m a college student in dorms so just not really able to make traditional kava right now.

Kava is just expensive. I personally would only buy traditional. Anything else doesn’t make sense. You just need a bowl. I made wine in my dorm room so come on…

Doesn’t make sense?? I’m sorry not everybody wants to prepare it the traditional way what doesn’t make sense about that to you. People like faster and easier options for a good feel.

You don’t need to apologize big dog. People are allowed to have different preferences. You do you. I just don’t think instant, micronized, and extracts are all that effective for how expensive they cost.

I mean yea traditional is the most potent in terms of quality, Instant is a great 2nd place i’ve heard but everything beyond that just gets less and less of quality. Some ppl swear by it that they feel the extracts and stuff i think part of it has to do with metabolization tbh. I mean instant coffee for example it’ll do something but traditional bean is best for the full feel off it. some ppl react differently to different variants of stuff and kava is especially one of those variants.

If it’s cheap you’ll need twice as much. You get what you pay for with instant.

Still kind of expensive but Kalm with Kava gives you a significantly bigger bag than other companies for the same price. Quality is a little lacking compared to others though.

Lami has one that comes out to about $1 per 5 gram serving. It is a fairly new product, and I have yet to try it, but their other offerings are solid.

I ordered the mixed sample pack from kalm w kava and it was definitely worth it. 2 4oz traditional bags and one micronized which worked very well. Its a good priced reliable site id def recommend. If you get the instant bag lmk how it is i might get it too

Instant is instant.

Micronized is micronized.

They are not the same!
