Balanced Kava Tips

Balanced cultivars are versatile, but they still respond to how you prepare and drink them.

Start moderate. Drinking too much too quickly can shift the experience from steady to heavy. If you’re planning to sleep soon, avoid drinking it too close to bedtime. Even balanced kava can build in strength over time.

Preparation

Shake or stir your mix well before every cup. Kava settles at the bottom, so each serve should be evenly mixed. Pour small shots of around 100–150ml. Have one every 10–15 minutes rather than all at once. Don’t sip it slowly, drink the shot in one go, then wait and let it build gradually.



 

General Information About Kava

What is kava?
Kava comes from the root of a plant in the pepper tree family, known as Piper methysticum. It has been used for centuries throughout Pacific Island cultures in traditional and ceremonial settings, and today it’s widely enjoyed as a social drink.

What does kava do?
Kava is not like alcohol. The experience is more gradual and subtle. Many people drink it to unwind, lift their mood and ease into the evening. It’s often enjoyed in social settings because of the way it can create a steady, relaxed atmosphere.

What do the effects feel like?
Kava is patient. It often takes a few shells (2–6 cups) before the calming effect starts to build, and more than that before a noticeable buzz develops. The experience tends to layer gradually rather than hit all at once.

What you should know
Kava root naturally absorbs moisture, and drinking it can increase urination since it acts as a diuretic. Staying hydrated is important. If you drink kava regularly, it’s wise to keep your fluids up, take electrolytes, and maintain a balanced diet with fruit, vegetables and healthy fats.
