For many users, kava is a pleasant, slightly stimulating drink that relieves fatigue, relaxes the body after hard work or effort, clarifies the mind and brings a sense of well-being.
What does Kava taste like?
Some people enjoy the taste of fresh kava while others do not. Taste varies among users. But just like other herbs, the taste can be enhanced by combining it with juice or other flavoring methods.
There are some companies that sell kava candies and palate cleansing chasers to help those who do not enjoy the original taste. You can also mix kava with other beverages.
Many people choose the mildest kava to consume because it is also the mildest in flavor.
Experimenting with your fresh kava can take some time and effort but once you find the method that enhances the flavor of your kava, you will be able to enjoy the drink even more in the future.
