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 crashSmooth, mellow effects perfect for unwinding, meditation, journaling, or quiet convoSourced ethically—Kavafied is a name I trust in the kava spaceActually tastes like kava, not flavored filler pretending to be herbalWhat 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!

i guess i have a sensitive stomach. I made the beverage and after 3 sips i began to feel nauseous. at about 15 minutes after consumption i felt the feeling of my stomach contracting. I rushed to the bathroom, became very hot and started to sweat. I vomited, the taste was awful when i drank it, so obviously it much worse coming out. Currently about and hour and half later i am nauseous. I dont want to leave a bad review, because i dont believe that the seller or the product is totally at fault. I believe that my body was just not equipped to enjoy the beverage. just please take caution when consuming things like this.

Gross.

long story short, this is some good kava. i bought other kavas before but this and my aluball go everywhere i go. im definitely going to buy more

I have had better but there shaker and ball really help if new to kava. Kava will help as an alternative to many times for me it was the occasional beer during the week. I replaced the beer with kava and I sleep better, I feel better and I can still have that relaxing feeling when resting before bed.

I've been taking kava for a long time now, and about a year ago i decided to start ordering from amazon, for convenience sake.This is one company I hadn't tried yet, so i decided to give it a shot, and i wasn't disappointed.I opened up my package and saw the kava was a nice, fine grind, so i was pleased.The aroma left something to be desired, but this is to be expected with kava (as we all know).I made my first shell and drank it quick... I must say, the taste is worse than just about any kava, but in a mild way?Its strange, it tastes normal except something is inherently off.But since this doesn't affect the quality in any way, it didn't affect the rating.I would recommend adding honey to your grog, or bringing along a strong chaser.All in all the effects were great and balanced, maybe even a bit heavy, but overall a great kava.For anyone looking to try kava, or even someone whos been taking kava for a long time this is for you!
