What Does Kava Taste Like?
Overview
Have you ever wondered what kava tastes like and why so many people are drawn to this Pacific Island beverage? In this article, we will go over the taste of kava and everything else you need to know before trying kava for the first time.
Kava’s Taste: What to Expect
Kava often has an earthy, woody flavor with a slight peppery kick and a muddy scent. It is bitter, and many find the taste unpleasant at first. The taste can change based on where the root is grown, the strain used, and how it’s prepared. Some types taste sharper and more peppery, while others can be smoother or even have a gentle, malty character that’s less harsh on the palate.
What Does It Feel Like?
Effects on the Mouth
Immediately after consuming kava, you may notice a tingling or numbing sensation around your lips and tongue. This is perfectly normal and adds to the unique experience of trying it.
Effects on the Mind
Beyond the physical tingle, the consumer will typically enter a calm, focused state. Most users report lowered stress levels and a sense of relaxation without the grogginess often associated with sedatives.
How to Make It Taste Better
If the flavor is too strong, blending kava with fruit juices, coconut milk, or even a natural sweetener can help. Experimenting with different recipes is key to discovering how to make kava taste better for your palate. Just remember that these additions may slightly alter its potency.
