Shit mind blown again. So instant is mix and go - I have that part down.
What is the difference between micronized and your normal average powder.
i have a pretty strong stomach and don't really care if there are little floaties in my drink. Is that the only difference?
Hello Kava newbie, welcome to the forums.
I have some extremely intriguing information that'd be of use to you and it'd be better for me to just post the thread
itself. This should help you discern that not all micronized are created equal and this vendors specific process is "special". By no means does this mean that another vendors micronized is no good, but I'm just attempting to *explain* the differences. Makas were a surprise for us all....even though some had already begun theorizing the possibility that they may be a cause for dermopathy...or of the symptoms pertaining to dermopathy (redening and drying of the skin in various areas of the body).
Regardless I'm sure you'll find kava becomes much less fickle when dealing with micronized but I must stress that the traditional method of kneading/straining should be given a chance, and even a regular go around because of the heritage involved by way of consuming the aforementioned traditional preparation.
As of now because of a much busier schedule my kava ritual'l become micronized Monday through Friday; grog(traditional preparation) Saturday and Sunday. Again If not for my schedule I'd be finding another way to incorporate grog into the daily grind but it just won't be possible.
I hope you have fun discovering and rediscovering new and exciting things here on the forums.
Don't forget to check out the recipe and review section for some great ways to prepare micronized kava, then the reviews so you can decide what type of cultivars (varieties) of kava suit you best.
Last but not least; all of the vendors on the forums are a great option but try to research the controversy on tudei because that can/will often brew up a confusing and heated debate, so that's a topic best thought over by skimming through the threads on that particular cultivar.
