Premium Noble Kava Root Powder - 100% Pure Sun-Dried Vanuatu Kava with High Kavalactones, Medium Grind for Easy Preparation (8 oz) - Perfect for Relaxation, Stress Relief & Social Gatherings

Definitely peppery in taste. Gets more than oily than I would've ever expected. The color of the kava is a darker hue than what I've ever seen from past kavas I've had (All Vanuatu-based), which made me oddly excited. It has a slightly slower on-set compared to everything else which hits me like a van, but this one hits me like an 18-wheeler once it's been about 5 minutes after taking the first shell! I genuinely cannot walk around without stumbling after 3 shells worth of this stuff—that's if I even care to have anymore after 2 shells which is definitely more than satisfying for me.Feels absolutely great. It's definitely more on the heavier side, but there's a lot of heady action going on too. Overall, it's well-rounded, at least to my liking.Quick shipping & delivery and the most affordable Vanuatu-based batch of kava I've ever had. The convenience of this product is absolutely unmatched.This ECLIPSES Bula Kava House's Nambawan strain, which is their strongest kava by far. It also goes completely over where Nakamal @ Home's Stone Kava would lay at for me. Any strain I've ever had, Fiji Vanua Kava's "Kava Vanuatu" strain just knocks it out of the water in more than ways one.The taste, albeit awful, is more bearable than anything else I've had so far, which is strange, but definitely welcoming.In terms of pain relief, I literally cannot feel a thing nor care about it while off it. It's effective for just about any use I can think of.The sizing (for me was the 1lb/1000g batch) is definitely perfect, especially for it's pricing. I'm a big-time kava drinker, so this would last me a good month and some change before I decide to get the next batch.Overall, this is the best product you could ever get if you're looking for a super-strong, yet affordable & convenient kava. It really can't get better than this! I'm on my second ever batch of this stuff, and I believe that I would stay a consistent customer for many months—or even years to come!// EDIT - 3/27/2025:The taste is definitely still awful and plugging my nose while drinking has slowly begun to fade in effectiveness over the course of time of me abusing this method to consume kava. So, against my own will in a way, I've started to grow used to the taste and the OVERTLY LETHAL aftertaste so now it isn't that bad anymore. Despite this, however, it still makes me fold up off the memory of how garbage this tastes, so that's a win for kava-related PTSD. Just ordered my 4th bag!No joke on the nose-plug method though. I have no idea how my body did that, but now I taste absolutely anything even with a plugged or stuffed nose. It does not matter the kava will win outright Jesus Christ
