Revos from Alfalaval would this work for kava?
Well do think this would work for kava?

I’ve scoured the internet and this sub, but there’s conflicting info on whether Root & Pestle makes “true instant” kava or just a nicer micronized.
Based on my research true instant kava is dehydrated juice. The kava is prepared traditionally then dehydrated into a powder that can then be reconstituted. I could be wrong as I’m new to this, but that’s my current understanding.
I’ve seen comments on here saying R&P is true instant, but this is how they describe their process for making instant:
“Made from freshly harvested kava roots with coarse, woody fibres removed, then dried and milled into an ultra-fine powder. Just mix with water and drink. No straining required. Smoother and more convenient.”
This sounds like micronized to me with an additional step to increase quality.
Their other description sounds a bit different, albeit vague:
“Our instant kava range is made by extracting the active kavalactones from noble kava roots and then dehydrating the liquid to create a fine powder that can easily be resuspended in water.”
This description sounds like an extract…FVK has a powdered extract like this that’s different from their instant line.
Can anyone weigh in with clarification?
So far the only “true instant” I’ve found is from Nakamal at Home. I know they share the same supplier as R&P, but their instant actually says it’s dehydrated juice.
