Kalm K9 vs 2 year old Rottweiler

Brooklyn is an active young Rottweiler who loves play time, we both work from home and use Kalm K9 when she’s getting fired up as an important Zoom meeting is happening or if the weather is interfering with her morning beach or park run. A small amount gives us an hour of peace and she loves the peanut butter on a dog treat. Just like Kava on humans, the efficacy yields a nice chilled out dog when you need it, highly recommend this to anyone whether you’re dog is hyper anxious or you are needing to manage short term outbursts of chaos!

Ah !!! I see the light 🙂

Ok … I have tried the Mello Mello first then the Borogu and im sorry to say i had little to no effect i was mixing my batch very heavy and tbh i didn’t know what to expect .. So my last ditch effort was to try the Waka and yep i understand now … Such a calming and kinda chill out feeling plus i think a nicer taste than the others .. I ended up putting the rest in the fridge for tomorrow haha
Didnt’ want to over do it 😉 … Vinaka!!

Coconut Shell Review

Pretty decent shell. Nice and feel to it. I can tell its not for the weak as it is large in size and it feels like you’re having a shell measured around VT500.

Tankiu Tumas Masa for sharing your feedback!

Borogu Kava Powder

My new favourite kava

Borogu is my new favourite kava. This is the fourth kava I’ve tried from Australia kava shop and I love how versatile it is. It gives me the muscle relaxation that I crave, as well as calmness in the mind but without the heavy drowsiness of Fijian waka. It is a good daytime kava but is perfect for the late afternoon. If you do drink it after dinner, it won’t keep you up. Please keep stocking this one 🙏🏻

Thank you Hugh – Glad to hear Borogu is now your favorite kava! It’s for sure an ugly name but definitely a great Kava blend. Appreciate the feedback!

Borogu Kava Powder

Borogu

Quite happy with Borogu. Kava reminds me of my younger years when we’d buy Waka “under the counter” from the local Fijian supermarket. It’s good to relax in a mild way avoiding the jagged edges and, frankly, toxicity of alcohol. The memories of the days when kava was either rare or actually illegal are both happy ones (of the times) but also reflect how some thing improve as rhe years go by.

Hi Michael – We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the Borogu Kava! It’s great to hear that it brings back fond memories and provides a relaxing alternative to alcohol. Kava has certainly come a long way, and we’re glad it’s bringing you joy. Thank you for your feedback!

Amazing relaxing drink!

Kava has continued to help me kick the alcohol habit. I wasn’t a big drinker but I do like to relax in my down times. Previously I’ve had naturopathic tonics including kava, but they were very processed. This kava is natural and has just a great relaxing effect. I do sleep so much better. Borogu is strong but not too strong taken as per packet directions! It’s great to try different varieties to see which ones suit you and Australian Kava Shop offers this. I absolutely recommend Borogu for chillaxing and sleep. And Australian Kava shop for quality products.

Hi Bianca – Thank you for sharing your Kava experience with us! Happy to hear you’re trying our different varieties that suit your needs and appreciate your recommendations

Melo Melo Kava Powder
B. (Australia)
Melo Melo .. reverse tolerance ?

I am about 1/2 way through my first 250g bag and i don’t know what i’m doing wrong but i can’t say i notice any affect or if its just slight and i’m expecting something else ? … I am mixing 4 tablespoons to 300ml of warm water and squeezing the life out of that little bag hahaha … I have purchased a bag of Borogu from you and im hoping that will be different .. Please let me know if i can improve what im doing 🙂
Upside is i haven’t drunk any alcohol since starting the bag XD

Hi Brent – you might be part of the group of people with “reverse tolerance” when drinking kava.
We recommend you continue having 2-3 serves every night.
We have done this with a few of our customers in the past and all of them to date have finally found the rewards of kava once their body became used to processing it.
Another tip to boost your Kava strength is adding a dash of full cream milk while you’re squeezing your kava, as the fats and oil from dairy release more Kavalactone during the agitation process. Give that a go and let us know if you feel any difference.

French Vanilla?

Good and relaxes me. The price for a kilo is a bit high.

Vanuatu Natural Kava
A. (Switzerland)
inner peace

When I first tried this Natural Kava, I have to admit I assumed it would be some weak kava blend that was just thrown together from cheap kava sources.
Boy was I wrong… they’ve taken a bunch of absolute premium kava and engineered a POWERFUL blend that’s just a smashing upper head high.
The kavalactins, the feel good compound, must be off the scales on this blend. It’s just an absolute bliss and inner peace feeling. So much so that it’s become my favourite kava here.
The flavour is decent too, although a bit variable between grass and old leather. The potency is always the same though.
I really do highly recommend this stuff, and Cam’s done an awesome job sourcing such a lovely kava.

Thought i’d share with you a little straining secret too, for those of you using a blender and straining it into a bowl.
You pour the kava into the corner of the bag, squeeze from the top, then squeeze the middle into an hour-glass shape, and intermittently squeeze the bottom and top of the hour-glass.
Makes straining the bag a whole lot easier, and you can squeeze every drop out.

Anyway, Bula! and enjoy the kava folks. It sure beats alcohol. 🙂

Bula Andrew! Thank you for sharing your Kava experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that it exceeded your expectations.
Your straining bag tip is much appreciated, and we hope our kava continues to bring you moments of relaxation and enjoyment.

Waka Premium Kava Powder Review
Quality and Taste
Waka Premium Kava Powder stands out as a high-quality kava product that delivers a smooth, earthy taste typical of traditional kava root. The grind is fine, making it easy to prepare, whether you prefer the traditional straining method or a modern blender approach. The flavor is earthy and slightly bitter, which is expected for kava enthusiasts, but not overpowering.

Potency
The potency is impressive, offering a calming and relaxing effect within 20-30 minutes. It’s perfect for unwinding after a long day or as a natural way to manage stress and anxiety. The kavalactone content is noticeable, providing a balance of relaxation without excessive sedation, making it suitable for both newcomers and seasoned kava drinkers.

Preparation
The powder is easy to work with and blends well in cold or warm water. For best results, use a strainer bag or muslin cloth to ensure a smooth texture. The instructions on the package are clear, and the preparation process doesn’t take long.

Packaging
Waka Premium Kava Powder comes in a resealable bag that preserves freshness and makes storage convenient. The packaging is minimalist but effective, with clear information about the product and usage guidelines.

Value for Money
Given the quality and potency, Waka Premium Kava Powder offers great value for money. It’s priced competitively compared to other premium kava products on the market, and a small amount goes a long way.

Pros:
High-quality and potent
Smooth, traditional flavor
Easy to prepare
Resealable packaging for freshness
Good value for money
Cons:
The earthy taste may be an acquired preference for some
Not ideal for those seeking a less potent, beginner-friendly kava
Final Thoughts
Waka Premium Kava Powder is an excellent choice for anyone looking to experience authentic, high-quality kava. Whether you’re winding down at the end of the day or seeking a natural way to manage stress, this product delivers on its promises. While the taste may not suit everyone initially, the relaxing effects make it worth trying.

Wow Michelle! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Waka Premium Kava. We’re glad to hear that you find its quality, potency, and value commendable, and that it has provided you with a satisfying kava experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to continue exceeding your expectations 🙂

Borogu Kava Powder
B.R. (Australia)
Borogu bliss

Love the Vanuatu Kava and the Borogu variety is my favourite. Its easy to drink, like other Vanuatu varieties I’ve tried it has a peppery creamy taste and not bitter like the Fijian kava. It makes a good potent brew with heavy heady effects and pleasant dreams. Been drinking Kava as an alternative to alcohol for just over 6 months now, its helped me keep away from the booze and I dont miss it (and lost some weight which is a win win). Would recommend Vanuatu variety to anyone and Borogu is a great one to start on. Mixed my NYE batch to see in the new year happy and chilled and without the hangover.

Hi Ben – Thank you for your glowing review of our Borogu Kava!
Always great to hear about everyones Kava journey and recommendations.

Brilliant

A well balanced kava that combined relief with a bit of pleasant euphoria

Glad you’re still enjoying your Kava Kristian, and thank you for your reviews 🙂

Instant V Traditional

After trying an array of traditional Kava’s I decided to give the instant Kave a go. I was more than pleasantly surprised by the experience! I enjoyed it more than the traditionally as one 10 gram glass felt more intense than all the traditional Kava I’d tried and lasted longer.

HI Nina – Thank you for sharing your experience with our Instant Kava, glad you’re enjoying it!
We also recommend searching up our Instant Kava recipes to boost your Kava experience and flavours.

Easy for the Queasy

I don’t mind straight kava; just toss it back. My wife however struggled until now (dysgeusia). Half a pod does the trick and leaves enough for round 2. The best for a quick fix for the taste challenged. Thanks for finding it!

Thank you for your review Bryce! We’re glad to hear that the French Vanilla pods are making Kava more enjoyable for both you and your wife.

Excellent Kava!

I recently tried Kava for the first time as I’ve given up drinking, and it’s an awesome substitute to relax you. The Borogu Kava was a much better product than one I bought off the shelf at Coles!

Thank you for sharing your Kava Journey Nick! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Borogu Kava and found it to be a great substitute 😊

Smooth and tasty

Borogu is a nice strong kava. Just like Melo Melo. I Look forward to coming home for a few a few shells of Borogu after a long day at work. Reminds me of sitting at a Nakamal back at home.

First time buyer very pleased

Bought my first bag recently and very happy with the product. My routine is now solid each night with good sleep nightly.
This strain is as strong as, if not more than any others I’ve had this year.
Will be buying again

Hi Remeth – Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you are pleased with your first purchase and that our product has helped you in many ways.

Amazing alcohol alternative

I was in desperate need of something to replace alcohol in my evenings at home. I tried the ‘kneed yourself’ kava, and while it worked, it was a lot of mess for one person. The instant kava, with some sugar-free syrup and soda water has changed my life. I’m using 5g per serve, and it does a great job of a mild sedative in the evening – more or less why I was drinking but without the slurring, hangovers or calories. HIGHLY recommend.

I did get used to the taste, but never really liked it. A little syrup covers it up just as well as orange or pineapple jiuce.

Thank you so much for sharing your Instant Kava experience Dean! Thrilled to hear that it has become a fantastic alcohol alternative for you. We definitely have to give sugar-free syrup and soda water try!
