I just mixed up 3 small alluballs of the Tonga OG and had 2 6 ounce glasses of it.
The taste is very smooth and not bitter at all. The color was very light, so maybe the water did not mix with the kava well. I shook it for 6 minutes pretty vigorously.
The effects is very nice. I am having a very stressful day and this kava melted the stress away.
I notice it is very relaxing to the muscles.
It is not sedative that makes you tired and a little nauseated like some of the heavy Vanuatuan Kavas.
It is more like a very pleasant, clean relaxation.
