I've had many pod tea experiences. Most of which were bad. Not to say that the high was bad (though on atleast 3 occasions now it has been).
I can't really stand the taste of pod tea and nothing i seem to mix it with can cover the nasty taste that bleeds through even the strongest of coffee.
My last two pod tea excursions have resulted in sickness during the peak and vertigo, anorexia, and vomitting during the high and for several hours afterward, bleeding into the next day. I suspect it had to do with moldy pods, but to be sure i had to take another session of tea to be sure, and sure enough i got sick.

Oddly enough, I don't mind the taste at all. I make it with an expresso maker which might produce a slightly less nasty taste. I'd rate pod tea with kava in taste, not good at all but not that bad. I would keep a cup of strong fruit juice handy, maybe grapefruit. Take a big swig of tea and then a swig of grapefruit to kill it. I would not mix it with anything. I had nausea my first two times which made me decide never to do it again. The high was nice but the nausea ruined it. However, now I plan to grow again and will be chugging it back once more to see if I can get the hang of it. Neuro, if I were you I'd lay off for a while and then maybe try again.

I have been, there were only a few interimittant times, and the worse were recently with the suspected moldy pods.
I'm highly taste adversive and i think that has to do with me hating the taste, in the past i've managed to shlug the crap down and get a high with no adverse problems except some gagging in the drinking process.
I really think i'm a super taster, as medical science has dubbed it. People that are sensitive to very small concentrations of bitter chemicals present in plants. This has been the explanation for people that vehemently hate vegetables, and i've hated vegetables all my life. I lay off PT anyway because opiates aren't really my kind of thing.
On a side note, about the espresso maker. I've read in literature that steeped/brewed coffee is actually higher in content of Caffeine than actual espresso, and it had to do with the latency time with the hot water being pooled in the grinds where as the espresso maker uses hot steam compression. One would think that the hot steam compressino would pull more caffeine but with espresso makers this doesn't seem to be the case. I'd venture to say that it's probably because of the time period in which it's happening, if the hot steam compression were to be prolonged perhaps it'd pull out more caffeine. Now this doesn't make the PT scenario a definite with pulling out the opiate alkaloids but it's worth investigating to see for sure, PT with coffee maker vs espresso maker.
I'll try to find a reference for the coffee data in a second.

I usually run it through the expresso maker twice to get all the goodies. I have noticed that the second run is much lighter colored than the first. I think 2 runs gets the vast majority. I wonder if smoked opium is less puke producing?

I've been using dried pods for 4 years now, every day. I live in Sweden but can buy them really cheap from a european vendor.
I just crush the dried giganteum heads down in to the pot and then i add enough water to cover it (the pods will swell with water so sometimes you have to ad more water). And then i just boil it and let it cool.
First time i boil it for 1-5 minutes, second time i boil it much longer. Its a myth that opiates gets destroyed from heat, not while dissolved in water anyway. So the longer you boil the better/stronger the tea.
This is my first post. I want to tell everyone about this new poppy strain i have.. But i will do that in another thread.
