Alright! The time has come! I’m not good at giving reviews. I’ll give it a go anyways. I ordered this from Amazon. If you look up Kava Kings it’s the first thing that shows up. You can order it from their website as well—kavakings.com
The kava came in a sealed bag like all of them do. I tore it open and took a big ole whiff. To my surprise it was not strong at all. It didn’t have that offensive earthy peppery smell which is what I expected. Most Tongans I’ve tried are very mild and smooth. This Tongan is no different. It has a very mild lemony, piney, earth smell, and dare say the least offensive odor of kava I’ve smelled. Yes I’m one of those people that think kava tastes nasty and smells worse. I don’t drink it for the taste LOL.
So I mixed up two aluballs and got to shaking. The kava that came out was nice and creamy and thick. I then mixed a little oat milk in and down the hatch it went. So my surprise i didn’t need a chaser. It ALMOST tasted good. I’m sure if I put some chocolate or cinnamon or something along those lines it would Taste decent, but I don’t like adding calories as it makes my heart race with kava and sugar.
I waited about 30 minutes and I’ve got to say this stuff is pretty dang potent. I felt a slight euphoria, not as much as some other kavas I’ve tried. But it’s gave my head a nice buzz and it’s moved down through the rest of my body. I’m nice and relaxed now sitting on the front porch with a smile on my face LOL. I’m making another shell as we speak and will keep y’all updated. I may not need another one lol
