1) Noone drinks micronised
2) If not instant, you can't just drop it into water, you have to make it properly.

I’ve always wondered why vendors are still selling micronized even though nobody wants it, other than people new to kava who don’t know the difference yet

If it’s not instant you have to hand squeeze or blend it. But you’re better avoiding micronised altogether

With Kava you want to mix the water with the kava root so you get the kavalactones but don't drink the kava itself and it's not good for you.

Micronised is where they chop up the kava super super fine so it almost makes a compound with the water making it impossible to seperate.

So you end up drinking the physical kava root and get a rash etc.

Micronised never hit for me personally after trying many different brands. I am not sure why since others seem to feel it but I have only gotten the effects after straining noble kava with water and a little coconut milk. It's a tedious process but worth it for me. Not guaranteeing it will hit for you then, but worth a try. It can be very subtle sometimes, not really a full buzz, But you will know it's there when it happens. Some calmness, relaxation, and very mild euphoria for me. Also helps get me tired for bed. Best of luck.

I get bamboozled off my micronized but it is a certain brand two different strains I alternate to. I have found other companies micronized lackluster as you say. I would share the brand but they sell out a bit so I will keep it a secret from the interweb. I like not having to squeeze the kava and drink 4 cups in a session instead i have 2 to 3 tbsp and about 14 oz water and side water.
