kava
Tried Kava tonight for the first time, at the birthday party of a friend whose (Fijian) father had mixed a large bowl. Interesting taste — but very hard to describe. Seemed like there was a hint of aniseed, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on any of the other flavours. My tongue went numb for 15 minutes or so afterwards, but no other effects as far as I could tell.
