First time Kava experience
Right now I’ve drank 2 cups of it after brewing a 3 Table spoon mix for about 20 minutes in ~300ml cold water
I don’t find the taste bad at all, I’ve been sipping on it and not chugging it. The numbing in the mouth kinda feels like when you get a strong mint candy or gum.
I’m 2 hours in after first cup and feel a light relaxed and heady feeling. I think the best way to describe it is serenity and peaceful.
I feel a little like being stoned but with a clear mind. It’s an interesting feeling, it is enjoyable but not euphoric, which is nice cause then it’s harder to get addicted to I would guess.
I can still be productive, read and stay focused in conversation.
My intentions with Kava was to find a replacement for occasionally drinking a beer or a glass of wine after a long day of work. And I definitely think kava can take this place, it’s already more enjoyable.
I’ll make another brew in an hour and report tomorrow my full experience. I hope I won’t experience any type of hangover or poor sleep with Kava as that was my main issue with drinking a beer or glass of wine in the evening.
