Koa Kava Kava Powder Tea – 1 Kilo (2.2 Pounds) Noble Tongan Kava Root, Pouni ONO Kava Drink for Relaxation and Good Vibes, Sourced Directly from Vava'U, 1 Kilogram

Fast shipping!! So this is my first experience with Kava. I did 4 tablespoons to 1000ml of room temp water and put it in my blender. Strained it a few times. Let me tell you ,I'm calm and my mouth is kinda tingly. I usually have a drink or 6 after work and I have absolutely no desire for alcohol. Kinda get some Wawas like whip it's. Body is mellow. I kinda feel like I took a Valium but still like able to function, not sleepy but very relaxed .No balance problems or trouble finishing a thought. DEFINITELY WOULD NOT DRIVE.

Very potent and helped me get of sleeping pills. A little bit goes a long way, great quality.

After reading the reviews, I was really looking forward to trying this kava and it was a plus that it comes in a 1kg bag as I drink it often. After ordering, I received an empty package from Amazon and had to be refunded, but I didn’t take any stars off for this as I don’t know that it’s the kava companies fault or Amazon’s. This has never happened to me before with anything else so it was odd. My next order was shipped quickly and I received it the next day.When the kava arrived it seemed generally normal, but the grind seemed a bit coarser than other brands and there was a fair bit of plant matter unground in the bag. We prepared it the same way we always do (mesh strainer, hot water) and the color turned out browner and muddier than what I am used to with Fijian kavas. The taste of this kava has quite a funk, I can’t explain it but it’s not as smooth as Fijian Waka and I found it difficult but not impossible to stomach. As far as effects go, I found this Tongan kava to be milder than the Fijian kava I normally purchase.All in all, I can’t give it a bad review as this is my first try with Tongan kava, and the bag remains in my cabinet for later use… I just have it tucked behind my go-to bag of Fijian kava. If you are a beginner I wouldn’t recommend this kava, definitely go for something milder. But if you are a seasoned kava drinker this is a nice addition to have on hand for daytime and in such a large quantity, it will last a while.

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve used and enjoyed many brands of kava. I use an Aluball, cold water, and shaker if it matters.This is my third time getting this variety from this brand. The quality has dropped A TON.It is visually much more course, dark, tastes terrible, and is weak. Very very bad quality, not even just for the price. Terrible value.On top of that it died out literally my entire body after 3 days of use and gave me terrible various rashes and feel utterly sick. Who knows what the heck is in this, from my research it appears to be heavy metal poisoning.I’ve attached photos. The ones I can show anyway. It even dried it my privates to the point of peeling, after just three days. My hands went from beautiful to paper thin and wrinkly. I am devastated by how unhealthy this made my body in such a short time.Immediately stopped use when symptoms appeared. I will never buy Kava again after this experience. Just not worth it. I’m an experienced user, and this particular batch is poison and I refuse to risk it ever again.Unless you want full body rashes, dry skin, the hands of a seventy year old, and peeling bright red private parts STAY FAR AWAY.I want my money back and an apology for their poor quality control and complete lack of care for their customers health. I cannot stress enough that I have used kava successfully for over a year. Even this brand used to be the cleanest/best I’d found.This batch is different. Do not risk it.

Edit: Last couple times I received this kava it didn't give me the uplifting effect it once did when I first tried it. For instance the last kilo I purchased was more of a balanced Tongan rather than Heady like Pouni Onos usually are. Now I see the price has went up. As well as seeing more and more bad reviews. Whoever's making the decisions for this company and running the quality control to verify the supplier is sending them kava like they once supplied is hurting the company and dropping the ball. The price point and quality they once offered was why I bought the kava. It's a shame that price has went up and quality or consistency has went down. I hope things go back to how they where. Until then I'll stick to my main supplier on Amazon whos family also runs the farm back in Fiji of the kava they distribute and sale in The US..Original review: Good heady daytime kava. One of the better daytime Kavas on Amazon. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. But have seen all vendors go up a little. Even the cheaper American vendors over the last year or two unfortunately.

There's no need for me to post any photos considering my photos are like the few others that have been posted here. I just got this kava a little while ago and I am glad to have found it! It has the most unique flavor, smell, and taste profile out of all of the kavas that I have tried which are most of the kavas offered here at Amazon. Out of all of the Kavas I have tried it is within my Top 3 kavas simply due to the uplifting effect, taste, smell, and overall unique "spirit" that it carries. Do not be fooled this is not only a buy but this is a high tier specialty kava that I wish came in a pound offering. Unlike other reviewers I find that this kava is actually very peppery, spicy, and numbing using the traditional technique of preparations which is a very good thing in my book. It also almost has a floral essence in regards to its smell and flavor! Normally I wouldn't write a review but I am actually impressed and inspired plus quite uplifted so I figured, "Why not?!", they truly deserve it! Please keep this in stock for us Kava lovers!

I personally order from their website it’s a bit easier and never out of stock. I have been drinking Koa Kava’s kava for a few years now and this brand is the strongest best tasting kava I’ve tried. It is very strong and has a reverse tolerance so don’t drink to much in one sitting.
