Reddit mentions of Kavafied Traditional Kava Strainer Bag

I used to use a bag like this:

Kavafied Kava Strainer Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0752Y9NFP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Tkp3BbDECETC8

I would fill the bag about 1/3 full with leaf. Next, I would let the bag soak in a large mason jar of water for a few days (use hot, but not quite boiling water). Once the leaf is very soft, I'd take the kratom tea out of the refrigerator and pour the tea into a big, stew pot. I'd warm the tea up so it's hot enough that I can touch it still, but just barely. Then, I'd knead the kratom in the bag. I mean knead the hell out of it until all the alkaloids were definitely pressed out. Basically, I squeezed and twisted the bag about 50 times and continually dunked the bag in the warm/hot tea.

When the leaf in the bag doesn't taste very strong anymore, I'd know the tea was ready and strong. That being said, I'd usually do one more step.

After throwing the leaves away, I'd place the stove on medium low and let the steam do its work for an hour or so. The tea gets more and more concentrated as long as the stove is on. Of course, it is possible to over heat it or completely evaporate the whole batch, so keep that in mind.

If you follow these steps, I think you'll be surprised how strong you can make some tea. It's better that you're doing this, than taking the dangerous stuff. Keep doing what you're doing until you know you're 100% ready to be done...it's ok to use kratom, it's truly a life saver for people who've been addicted to opioids.

Kalm With Kava is a popular high-end brand.

​

They do make medium grind powder, which you would need to strain. Squeezed or strained medium grind is what most people would refer to as traditional kava. In my experience, this is the more affordable way to go, and I end up feeling a cleaner and "fuller" experience. That being said, traditional prep requires a bunch of squeezing and kneading, and 5-15 minutes of your time.

​

However, the Kalm With Kava product that you screenshotted is micronized kava.

​

Micronized kava is generally more potent, it is an incredibly fine powder, and all you have to do is mix one or two tablespoons into whichever drink you prefer. I like preparing traditional kava with whole milk and I have done it with chocolate milk too, so it should definitely work fine with micronized.

​

If convenience is a priority for you, then I would give what you posted a shot.

​

If you want to try traditional filtered kava instead, there are quite a few good choices on Amazon, and a muslin strainer bag can be bought from there too.
