Art of Kava

Was more than satisfied with this kava as a nice end of day treat. It's effects were very calming. As good as the Kava was the prompt and courteous help of the owner as he upgraded me to free two day shipping during the election. This is a model that more businesses need to adopt. Bula to Kava and kind vibes!

I know you're probably accustomed to only seeing 5-star rated kavas on vendor's sites, thinking "yeah right".

This one deserves it.

The vendor has obviously taken great care in selecting the best kavas to carry, as evidenced by the fact that they only have two at the moment. I've seen so many vendors hit the market with a menu list a mile long. What this says to me is that this vendor is focused on the quality of few instead of the acquiring of many. Integrity isn't cheap, but it shines brightly.

Prep: 40g traditional prep w/ 400ml of water.

Brew: Dark, thin, less starchy. Physically easy to drink.

Effects: Balanced (high kavain), but heavy leaning (more sedative) Fijian kava. Really a pleasant chemotype for ending the day or slapping yourself to sleep with it's strength.

Overall: This is a fantastic kava. I'm definitely going to be keeping this in the ranks among some of my favorites. Keep up the excellent work, Art of Kava. So far they really have been art.

This kavas hugs you like a warm blanket, there is nothing heady about it, it's oily and strong but tastes very good. it's easy to taste the freshness of this kava. It feels like that stony, heavy behind the eyes kind of root.

An extremely pleasant and tranquil experience all around! I can easily see this being a weekend or weeknight kava, and even good with a small group of friends. The taste is very similar to most other great fijian's you can find on the market. Balanced, yet heavy leaning in its effects. Won't knock you on your butt and is certainly potent enough to enjoy if you have been a veteran kava drinker or are just starting out.

Seriously good stuff they have here!

I have been a daily kava drinker for many years and this kava stands at the top of the list in quality and freshness. The flavors are amazing and smooth for a potent waka. This could be a good introduction for anyone wanting to try kava for the first time. I highly recommend it!
