Premium Fiji Noble Kava Root Powder 16 Oz/1LB

As someone who's tried all sorts of kava and done plenty of research on the plant, this is easily my favorite kava powder out there. I'm really surprised it's not quite at 5/5 stars because it ticks every box for me. In my kava, I look for a lasting, potent product to help with anxiety and to give a good buzz in the evenings without having to use too much product. Considering this, this is the best powder I've found yet, and for a far more reasonable price than the others I've tried which were of lower quality despite being more expensive. At the moment of writing this review, it's around $23, which is a very good price. If you have Prime and have free delivery, this is a steal.The kava comes in a vacuum-sealed bag, which you have to cut open with scissors. It's very satisfying to break apart the cube and it barely takes any effort to do so. In comes with a little clamp to tightly close the bag back up. Having vacuum-sealed powder is a big luxury to me, as most kava products just come in a simple pouch — which is usually fine — but having vacuum-sealed product does a lot to ease that little bit of worry of product going bad, and it does a lot of work in terms of presentation.PLEASE RESEARCH KAVA BEFORE BUYING KAVA PRODUCTS.I noticed many of the poorer reviews are from people who are unfamiliar with kava and don't know what to expect from it. Many of the things people are complaining about are aspects of the plant itself that are completely unchangeable, such as the taste. Kava does not taste good. There are recipes you can use to make it taste better, but on its own, it's widely considered to taste bad. Please consider this before leaving a bad review because the fault is not on the producers of the powder and there's nothing anyone can do about that.On top of that, make sure you have a proper way to strain the kava and make sure you are familiar with the process of making the tea. It's not a complicated process at all, but I know some people are making it incorrectly and judging this high-quality product unfairly as a result.Here's how I usually make my kava tea: I put two large spoonfuls of the powder into my strainer, close it up, and bring a pot of water to a boil. I'll then put the kava-filled strainer into the boiling water and let it boil for maybe two minutes. (There are rumors that boiling water destroys the kavalactones, but these are false. Boiling water activates more kavalactones, making the beverage stronger, but also making the beverage more starchy, so take that into consideration.) After that, I put the strainer in a wide bowl, open the strainer, and pour the hot water directly onto the kava powder, and then I seal the strainer again. I then wait about 10 minutes so that the water cools off enough for me to massage the strainer without burning myself. Massaging the strainer is very important. You want to squeeze all of the fluids into your bowl and continuously do so for a good few minutes. I then like to heat up some high-fat milk to add into the mix because kavalactones like to bind to fat, making a stronger beverage. This also helps thin the drink out if I didn't put enough water into the pot and it becomes too sludgy. After all of that, I pour it into a drink and sip away 👍Again, this is by far my favorite kava powder yet and it works wonders for managing my anxiety disorder. I happen to be the kind of person who sees a lot of benefit from the usage of this plant and I drink it every day, so I'd really like to have the best possible product at the cheapest possible price, and this is definitely the best of the best for me.I recommend this product to continuous and experienced users of kava, and I recommend it to people just looking to try it out, but again, please do your research! Happy sipping

Very good effect and, very consistent

Good quality kava. Grind is medium fine. Smell is fresh. Effects are balanced with decent duration. Good choice for the money.Update: After using this kava on subsequent sessions I do notice the darker broth after brewing 4tbls+ indicating waka content. The taste is mild. The effects can be mildly sedating with larger amounts but no where near a Vanuatu. I find this a good kava for the money if your looking for balanced.

If you drink kava every day like my wife and I do this one is definitely a good one 👍

Truly superb product! I've read some of the past reviews prior to purchasing.....and kinda wish I didn't. This kava is one of the best products I've found on Amazon so far! Good color, great taste and really gets the job done without that sour stomach feeling that often accompanies the lower grade stuff.So to answer some of the negative Nellies on here:Kava is a plant that doesn't form starch reserves. It's not going to be sweet. Some people mix it with guava juice or coconut water. There are quite a few kavacolada recipes on the internet if you really have trouble with the taste. I wouldn't recommend that tho because if you're masking the flavor, you're probably also masking the quality.Kava's effects are amplified when it is shared in a social setting. So if you're using it solo as a sleep aid, and it doesn't seem to be working - you're probably doing it wrong. Traditionally it is drank on an empty stomach, in-between work and dinner witha group of friends or family. Consume 6-8oz at once, space out your servings, have some light snacks. Most importantly: If it doesn't feel right, listen to your body and don't push it.If you're an anxious person like myself, I'd recommend treating this wonderful plant as a medicinal regimen. I drink about 2 servings a night and sleep like a baby. It is known to have a "reverse tolerance" effect on some folks, which is something to keep it mind.So to summarize: give it time, treat it with respect - it'll likely return the favor. Don't forget to support local farmers, kava is not something that's meant to mass produced and over packaged. This stuff requires love and attention which is definitely evident in this product. ❤️

Product doesn’t give much comfort. Won’t buy again. Ordered only one package. But received another the next month and was billed for it. I had the stop all orders. The vendor will keep send it until you say stop. Very upset about this way of doing business.

I didn't feel any effects poor, didn't help sleep, need strainer to make, might work for someone else
