Been using kava for 3 days. Using intant version. It was expensive. I've only been using 2 to 2.5 grams a day. The effects have been amazing. So much pain relief and relaxation. I love it!
Thank you for your video showing us your process, the only question I have is some people seem to think you need to add some sort of "fat" ( perhaps milk) to your water to help extract some of the kava oil . What do you think?
I've read that you can if you want but given that the Islanders themselves don't do that and they've been drinking it for thousands of years I'd say it probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference. I guess just experiment and see what works for you.
I assume it’s because water can only get so saturated? Like his analogy washing dirty clothes in in dirty water you’re only going to get so much dirt out of the clothes. If you kept draining the dirty water off you’re eventually going to get the maximum amount of dirt off.
I just got the agitator ball thingy today. Super easy to use, but doesn’t seem to strain it as well. I’m brand new to kava, but I didn’t really feel the effects. Or maybe it’s because I got the green kava instead of the red ones. I’ve never made my own kava though. Any tips?
How long will it take for my kava to arrive? The website said it would take 2 days to be shipped. I was wondering how long it would take to arrive because lately shipping has been running on Polynesian time lol. Just super excited and wondering how to track my package as it sends since I haven’t gotten a text notification yet. This is my first kava experience since I’m an afakasi born in the states. I bought an AluBottle and four balls and 2lbs. of the kava supreme. Would you say it’s better to start off slow like a gym or should I go ahead and try the strong shell method as showed on your channel? Thought it would be best to ask the experts! Thank you if you responddddd.
Aloha Jon, big mahaloz for vibin with us at kavafied. We are stoked that you are excited to receive our products. After looking into this matter we can confirm that your order was shipped the morning after you placed it and is enroute to your hale. Order direct from our website placed during the work week are always shipped day of or next day excluding the weekends. As our fulfillment center also doubles as a kava bar, we have been offering complimentary shells of kava to the very hard working people at USPS; has that put them on Polynesian time with their deliveries? The kava world may never know. What method should you start off with? If you have time to get down on Polynesian time, paluing a half gallon or 2 of Kava Supreme and drinking it over the course of a long night will always get you right. If need a quick power mix, a few servings made with the AluBall will be just as delightful. For all future assistance please email bula@kavafied.com
I live in Brazil and I ordered this product from amazon when I make the order and everything is ok and the product available in amazon but after 2 days the gave me back my money and the reason is that they said it’s finished this happened to me 2 times can anyone tell me it’s really finish or the product not allowed in Brazil ???
I'm new to the world of Kava. Been taking Kratom for about 8 years now. I love Kratom but I've heard good things about Kava, so was thinking about taking a 2 week break from Kratom and using this as a reset period for my Kratom tolerance, and trying out some Kava. Until today, I didn't know the first thing about Kava. I've visited several websites, watched numerous videos, and I still feel pretty uneducated about it lol. Kind of intimidated by the preparation process, guess I just assumed it was similar to consuming Kratom as far as just throwing some raw powder in my mouth and chasing it with water or O.J. This is definitely a little more labor intensive😂. I mean, its not something that I'm incapable of, just had no idea it was like a 10 minute ordeal, straining into a bowl after soaking in a seperate bowl, kneading it continuously, then pouring the extracted liquid back into the bag and kneading again. I think I'd have to make a week long supply at one time lol. Also not sure how much to consume or how often. I know with kratom I'd ingest about 3 grams, wait 5 hours and ingest a 2nd dose, wait 5 or 6 hours and take my nightly dose about an hour or 2 before bed. I pretty much had it dialed in. But with Kava I have no idea how much to start with. I know they have other forms like instant and micronized, but hear they are nowhere as effective and also more expensive.
So when I squeeze my bag I'm getting a gooey substance come through the cheesecloth is that normal or should it be really watery every time I try to squeeze it seems like the copper is coming through the cloth
That residue is the kavalactones, the active substance you want to extract. Whatever you're doing is working. Keep kneading until your kava is dried up and you're not getting any more residue.
I'm going to order this bad but I was wondering, will it stop my tumeric tea from settling a few hours later? I can't stand that sandy residue that shows up a few hours later in my pitcher after sitting me tea in the fridge to cool. I've been searching for a filter that will help me reach a professional grade tumeric tea. I use the powder but every time it is gross and I've had teas where no powdery residue was inside. Thank you!
Come for learning how to use kava strainer bag, leave with good Shazam songs Violence by Grimes & i_o and You're No Good by Chromatics for anyone wondering
Usually there is some residual fibers floating about, it depends on the bag I suppose. You could run it through another sort of strainer , and try to remove any that did make its way through. Mind you it can’t be too fine, as the kava isn’t actually dissolved in the water, more so just floating in it. Don’t want to strain away too much good stuff. A very fine bag would be what you would want to look for.
@@SeagullSoundz thanks for the response. i got the strainer bags from the same place i bought the kava and it strains out all of the fiber and has been working great. :)
Wait about 15 minutes between shells. This allows you time to feel the root and listen to what it tells you. Drink on a mostly empty stomach. If you have too much food in your stomach the effect will be greatly diminished but if your stomach is completely empty you may feel nausea. Try different things and figure out what works best for you.
@@seanowen9778 I don't know how much is in a shell & I don't have one. I did 8 oz every 15 minutes. For a total of 24 oz. I have done that every day for the last 3 days. Trying to get the reverse tolerance gone. I drink on an empty stomach all 3 days and didn't feel anyting. I got mouth numbness as well so I'm pretty sure what I have is good. I'll continue to work with the pound of kava that I have. Then maybe I'll try a different brand. What brand do you recommend?
@@twistedara Kavafied is a good brand. Kava Supreme is a Vanuatu kava and is fairly potent. I’d say it’s their most potent option. Kava Bati is good as well. Bula Kava House Nangol Noble is great. Available directly from their website. Another decent kava available on Amazon is Dua Na Bilo. There’s dozens of quality kava vendors to choose from these days. Try using two 500ml bottles of spring water to three heaping tbsp of root powder. Be sure to knead the root until it feels fibrous and not oily. It takes a while for some people to get their tolerance going. Once the kavalactones build up in your system a bit you should feel the effects of a quality kava with these ratios without any problems. Good luck!

Wow, 2 grams per day is much less than I've been using. Glad you're getting good results from it, it will save you a lot of money.
I used about 5 grams my first day today very njcd
What specific product are you using

How many servings does it make? I have only 8 ounces and I’m a first-time user. I’m in Cambodia so I want this to last a while. Thanks
Thank you! I have been doing this so wrong. I just got the nylon bag today, I will try this way!
Love Grimes in the background 👌
Why did this require two bowles
I assume it’s because water can only get so saturated? Like his analogy washing dirty clothes in in dirty water you’re only going to get so much dirt out of the clothes. If you kept draining the dirty water off you’re eventually going to get the maximum amount of dirt off.
because why not
What is this bula thing? Cheers? Down the hatch? To your health?
Do you need a fat source to make the effects better?
I get what you're trying to do but isn't all the stuff in the first bowl kind of a waste?
If you don't have a strainer bag an old tshirt will work just fine.
absolutely not sir😂😂
@@howlingcommander3302 yes it will
@@Chuck-gj9sh agreed been using a tshirt n it’s working great ! maybe not the best but it’s working
Nope, no tshirts 😢 use pantyhose instead 🤙
Thank you Master Betty
Great timing just the kava bag today! Cheers
Can you strain it again with a coffee filter before drinking?
I understand, preparing this the traditional way, but would I be able to throw it into a nutri bullet and drink it when I’m short of time

Kavafied Much Alofa uce! Thank you for the info and I will definitely be coming back!
@@joneldreth8724 how was it? Any tips?
i tried to make kava with the alu ball but i have no idea if i did it properly since nothing happened. Maybe i should try making it like this.
Kava works best when you space out shells by 10-15 minutes or so. This helps it build in your system and allows you to listen to the root.
If it's fat soluble wouldn't it be better to make kava butter than kava water
You can add coconut milk or cream to help bring out the lactose and also improve the taste
I live in Brazil and I ordered this product from amazon when I make the order and everything is ok and the product available in amazon but after 2 days the gave me back my money and the reason is that they said it’s finished this happened to me 2 times can anyone tell me it’s really finish or the product not allowed in Brazil ???

how much to use powder for one cup for one person drink?
So when I squeeze my bag I'm getting a gooey substance come through the cheesecloth is that normal or should it be really watery every time I try to squeeze it seems like the copper is coming through the cloth
That residue is the kavalactones, the active substance you want to extract. Whatever you're doing is working. Keep kneading until your kava is dried up and you're not getting any more residue.
@@cherrypie7861 I was also wondering what that was.
Nice to watch n learn out some new ways to mix8

The residue is there but it’s not settled to the bottom sometimes. You can definitely use a nut milk bag or similar to strain it.
Great timing by the way! I went ahead and ordered the bags on your website.
Can also buy on Amazon. It's a poly or ptfe filter sock. I'd go at most 75micron.

Thank you sir, saving my life
Great job!!
Wouldnt using a liquid with a high fat content produce a better stronger product being that the active ingredient in Kava is fat soluble?
That is correct
so using milk instead of water?
So do I need to have both bags or will the pro strainer bag be fine?
Only need one bro the good old traditional way
is there still fiber in the oil or is it just water and oil. do to health issues i can eat fiber so if some one could tell me id really appreciate it.
Usually there is some residual fibers floating about, it depends on the bag I suppose. You could run it through another sort of strainer , and try to remove any that did make its way through.

@@seanowen9778 ok. Thanks a lot for the info. Bula!
is that the chromatics in the background?
Grimes. But she is clearly satanic, so..sad thing actually😣
Why do you need the first bag if you have the 2nd bag?
Probably just a higher micron
I was told that hot water destroys the kavalactones.
Perhaps. He was using warm water. Water + boiling water = warn water.
Does the water need to be hot?
I can't hear a thing
wow, you chugged that thing!
i just mix with water and drink them alll wtf
Im surprised on how less yall be drinking that shiii...i be 1 bag of kava 3 water bottles
rookie
The satanic Grimes in the background...not very kava-kava sounds 😆😆
