In my quest to find awesome alcohol alternatives that still make you feel great I came across an ancient elixir called kava.
I tried a cheap kava kava supplement and was unimpressed.
A while later, I tried real kava. And in comparison, it knocked my socks off. So I brought on an expert to explain the difference, the science of kava, and what makes this such a prized plant.
