I chewed a Kava, and I liked it

Well, okay, I didn't LOVE it! I'd tasted it before, but had never masticated and spit it out on a leaf to be drunk by someone else. So, I asked for a hunk at the nakamal, and got started chewing. The chief said, "Okay, spit that out for me, I'll drink it." Sorry, no picture of me with a mouthful of kava- they still don't want pictures of kava in our nakamal. The strange thing is, my chewed kava was light green, almost white, but all the other men had olive or dark green wads of kava spit. Mine didn't look right; but I guess it was okay, because all the men crowded around my wad and spoke their approval.
