For those of you who are not familiar with jaba juices, khat, miraa or jaba in general, let me spill the beans (or should I say, pour the juice?) on the most mind-blowing discovery in the world of beverages 🥤. First of all, khat is a plant that grows in east africa and the arabian peninsula. What’s so special about this plant? Thousands of years ago, they discovered that chewing khat leaves or the stems, results in a feeling of energy and exaltation like never experienced before. The plant is also known as qat, jaba, miraa, mairungi among many other names. Now jaba juice is basically the juice form of this plant. More on this later…
Now, I’ve tried my fair share of jaba juices, but Handas Juice takes the cake – and boy, what a tasty cake it is! So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, grab your favorite comfy chair, ’cause we’re diving right into the juicy details.
A Khat-astrophic Transformation
First things first, let’s talk about the magic that is Handas Juice. I had already explained about jaba juice, but the good peeps at Handas Juice have somehow managed to turn jaba into a fantastic carbonated energy drink with a variety of flavors. It’s like they waved a wand over it and poof! – energy in a bottle, minus the jitters.
For those who have chewed khat before, you know that its a bit of a hassle. Your tongue get’s cut up, your cheeks get cut up and you are just left looking like a goat chewing for hours. These guys managed to remove all that and create a very tasty drink that get’s you the same effects minus most of the side effects.
So what are the effects of this juice?
Khat produces a mild euphoria mixed with a surge of energy that just puts you in the zone. According to the who study on khat, the confirmed effects are as follows:
- increased concentration
- Hyperactivity
- mild euphoria
- thought disorder
- Excitement
- Talkativeness
- Alertness
- Elation
- increased skill at associating ideas
- better imagination
- sexual arousal
- Friendliness
- increased blood pressure
- Insomnia
- loss of appetite
- Anti inflammation
- Antioxidation
So yeah it has a lot of benefits. The question is, why is this not everywhere? Well, the chewing of khat is associated with a lot of negative effects.
Research on the detrimental effects of khat are thin but the extreme use of jaba, especially through chewing, is reported to have some negative effects. The extreme, overuse of khat is associated with the following health risks:
- Liver toxicity
- Dependency
- Insomnia
- Constipation
- constantly disrupted sleep
- worsening of pre-existing mental health problems
- high blood pressure
- Gingivitis
- heart palpitations
- tooth loss
- dental disease
- oral issues
- appetite loss
- Anorexia
- gastric disorders
But as I mentioned, the juice version eliminates most of these issues.
Double the Fun with Distilled and Cold-Pressed
Now, Handas Juice doesn’t stop at just one trick. Nope, they give you options, because choices are the spice of life! You’ve got two amazing types to choose from: Distilled Jaba Juice and Cold-Pressed Jaba Juice – both are awesome, but you pick what best suits your mood. The cold pressed is where we blend and squeeze the juice out of the jaba to give a fresh and potent product. It has more of an earthy taste with tartnes it can only last up to 4 days. On the distilled ones, we extract the active ingredients through distilation then mix it with our flavours. It is more tasty, still strong but not as potent as the coldpress, and it can last up to 2 months.
The preservation is a very important thing because this allows it to be exportable to the rest of the world. Khat was difficult to export in previous years because it loses it’s potency after 48 hours. This is the only reason why coffee managed to surpass khat because they could easily dry it and export it to the rest of the world
Flavor Fiesta
Here’s where it gets wild – Handas Juice boasts a whopping 11 different flavors! Yes, you heard that right. They’ve got a flavor for everyone, from the classic favorites to some wild, out-of-this-world concoctions. It’s like a flavor party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited. They are also introducing new flavors that will better suit other international markets. Similar to how mcdonalds have different menus for different countries.
The Verdict: There is Jaba Juice and there is Handas Juice
In conclusion, Handas Juice has won my heart, my taste buds, and my energy level. To the point where I had to go to their factory and ask thousands of questions just to write this article. It’s the best Jaba Juice in the world, hands down. They’ve taken something as ancient as khat and turned it into a modern-day masterpiece. Whether you’re in need of a pick-me-up or just craving a flavorful adventure, Handas Juice has got your back.
So, do yourself a favor and embark on your own Handas Juice journey. Trust me; it’s not just a drink, it’s an experience, a flavor-filled rollercoaster ride that’ll leave you energized, amazed, and maybe even a little addicted (in the best possible way). Cheers to Handas Juice.
