Kavafied KAVA Supreme - Noble Vanuatu Kava Root Powder (8oz)

So here’s the deal—when you’ve got a mind like mine (ADHD, deep thinker, can’t turn it off even at 3 a.m.), you start to seriously value anything that helps you shift gears without nuking your central nervous system. That’s where Kava Supreme steps in—and let me tell you, this ain’t your gas station kava-in-a-capsule nonsense. This is real, noble Vanuatu root, and from the first shell, you know you’re dealing with something authentic. The grind is consistent—fine, but not powdery. Earthy smell? Yep. Bitterness? You bet. That’s how you know it’s legit. I prepped it the traditional way—strainer bag, warm (not hot) water, good ol’ kneading for a few solid minutes while zoning out with some roots reggae in the background. The result? Creamy, peppery, and deeply grounding. The kavain kick hits gently, first in the tongue (classic numbing effect), then it just… slows everything down. Not in a sedated way—more like your body exhales before your brain does. Where It Shines: Top-tier potency without that muddy, head-spinning crash Smooth, mellow effects perfect for unwinding, meditation, journaling, or quiet convo Sourced ethically—Kavafied is a name I trust in the kava space Actually tastes like kava, not flavored filler pretending to be herbal What Could Be Better: Not beginner-level. If you’re new to kava, this will hit hard. Go easy on the first shell. Storage pouch is basic—would love a resealable tin or jar for that premium touch. Still wish there was a version that came pre-bagged for on-the-go prep (but hey, ritual’s part of the magic)

I started Kava in hopes of having a natural substance to help me taper down on Kratom. Both Kratom and Kava are anxiolytic, which is a help for me as I deal with generalized anxiety and depression. Although Kratom is longer-lasting and maybe more profound in some ways, Kava doesn’t create a bodily dependence over time. The first time I tried Kava, I followed the recommended serving size (usually 2-4 tbsp). I was disappointed when, after 30 minutes (and an empty stomach - important) I didn’t feel anything. I tried several Kavas from Bula Kava House, Gourmet Hawaiian Kava, and others, to no avail. It wasn’t until I kneaded 40 grams that I felt the effects. (I’m apparently what they call a “hardhead”.) It came at a time when I was just about to give up. I overlooked Kavafied’s Kava Supreme because I pictured some low-quality root powder sitting on a shelf for months, waiting to be fulfilled by Amazon. But... I’m GLAD I gave it a try! I was pleasantly surprised that my first dose, at 20 grams, gave very pleasant calming effects. At 30 grams, I can just about drift off into a peaceful sleep. As a bonus, this stuff seems easier to drink. Pretty much all Kavas taste terrible, but when I started chugging this and didn’t have to fight gag reflex, I almost thought I didn’t prepare it correctly. I was wrong. It hit me in a good way! I add the powder (16 to 30 grams, depending on if I’m doing a day or night dose) to 1.5 to 2 cups of warm water with some type of milk (almond, coconut) to help give the kavalactones something to bind to. I pour all this into a blender and let it go for a couple minutes. This is then poured into a strainer bag and kneaded for 10 minutes. Then my “session” begins: I add two cubes of ice to a cup and pour it about halfway with the Kava juice/milk. With some pineapple slices ready, I chug that cup, then immediately pop a pineapple into my mouth. A juicy fruit that quickly saturates your taste buds is the way to fly. After a few minutes, I repeat this a few more times until the batch is used up. I generally start feeling the effects come on within minutes. Very relaxing!

Brah this is in the top 3 best Ava powder you can get period point blank but this faka is so expensive. Again I will say it is one of the best but way to much money. Sorry my dogg

I paid about $30 for this Kava in 8 oz. package. With Prime free 2-day delivery, this was among the very best values I could find on Kava anywhere online. Before purchasing, I researched the various Kava forums, and this product get favorable reviews overall. First I should say, I'm somewhat a skeptic on Kava's effectiveness in general. Anything that claims to have an effect similar to benzodiazepines, yet hasn't gained much interest from the FDA or DEA is suspect. Having said that, I do find noble Kavas to have at least a mildly relaxing effect. I've tried several brands, and I can say this brand is as good as any, and better than most. A few things that I've noticed are helfpul: 1) I usually double the suggested serving size. It's a lot to drink, but I chase it with a slice of mango or pineapple, so it's tolerable. 2) I take it on an empty stomach. That is absolutely no food for at least 4 hours prior to consuming. This helps with effects, and reduces and nausea. 3) I'll consume a high fat snack about 5 minutes after finishing the Kava. The fat helps activate the kavalactones (there are reasons for this if you do the research). After doing the above, I did find the drink relaxing, if only mildly so. The effect lasted a couple of hours. As an after work, stress reducing, mildly relaxing beverage, I'd say this was not a bad $30 spend.
