$70 for a kilo of powder. This is the best site, price, and quality I've found, but feel free to look around. I first bought small batches locally, and spent double this for just a little bit.

I take a rounded half tablespoon in water which just weighed out to 3.5 grams, and it lasts a few hours or so. If you're already taking caffeine pills, you should give this a shot. Alternate with the caffeine or have together.

Multiple types and names: It's mostly all marketing. Straight green 'maeng da' (the shit!?) works fine. There is red, yellow, and white, but I'd say ignore.

By the way, it tastes gross. They make capsules, but those are for wusses. Mix it with water and drink it down, then have juice or whatever if you need it. It's a bit hydrophobic, so takes 5 minutes or so to soak/mix into the water.

Narcotics addicts claim "large quantities" give more of a sedation effect, and help them stay off the hard stuff. I have no experience with that. You'll get a whole range of stories and videos about it with an internet search.

Bottom line for me, I like it as a stimulating caffeine alternative, but sometimes have it with caffeine.
