No need to send but the offer is much appreciated (they sell tea at the local health food store). How would you describe the effects? I have been looking for healthy relaxant to use while coding (and trying to avoid teas and coffee late night).


That's probably an appropriate use of kava. I wouldn't get kava tea in teabags, it probably isn't very strong. Look for instant drink mix, extract, or tincture.

Kava's effects are like a mild benzodiazepine. It's a relaxing, mild sedative. Erowid is the authoritative source for the effects of these kinds of things, though most of the people there are probably doing higher doses than you want to do while coding. http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Kava.shtml
