That's weirdly convienient! Sometimes those less than awesome things are a plus in some ways eh?View attachment 9670
Mine arrived thawed, but still cool. I happen to be on antibiotics right now anyway, so if there is any bacterial growth, I’ll probably be alright.
I'll ask and find out.That is a seriously good question Edward. I've looked and I don't see the normal evidence of a kava bar selling K@. Either they've done an immaculate job concealing it to just this forum and me, or they're seriously 100% kava now. I'd like someone to confirm or refute.
Now, back to that frozen kava. I do hope they've secured an, at least, semi-regular supply. I'll aim to always have some in case a kava drinking friend stops by.
Cutting in for Shakas. It's Mahakea.Do you know what cultivar this is?
How long does it last in the fridge? It's currently in my freezer again (the unused portion).You should only thaw it in the fridge. This way you ll be able to use it for much longer
Thank you! It’s been in the fridge or freezer the entire time. I only thawed it in the fridge but put it in the freezer once I took what I could use today. I hope it keeps for awhile there. It’s not my favorite kava anyway but not horrible I Guess.. anyway, no kava shall be wasted (hopefully).The general food safety rules in NZ specify that a product capable of sustaining microbial growth at room temp should not be kept at room temp for longer than 2 hours (IN TOTAL - so if you keep it at room temp for 1h one day, then freeze it again and then thaw it again and keep it for another 1h then that's it, but please note that if you thaw your product outside of the fridge, this time should also count towards your 2h limit as some bits of the product will be at temp above 4C). Inside the fridge it should be able to stay safe for up to 3-5 days (provided it was clean to begin with), but you may want to vacuum seal it to prevent it getting sour tasting.
These are rather conservative guidelines that food businesses are required to adhere to. Obviously lots of people can handle products that have been exposed to room temp for longer, but if you want to err on the side of caution and/or have low immunity/fragile stomach then it's best to adhere to the 2h rule.
I’m not familiar with Hawaiian kava, is this heady? Heavy? Balanced? Thanks!https://rootofhappinesskava.com/products/fresh-frozen-kava-1lb
They're back in stock, this time with Hanakapi'ai. That's quite the turn around there.
Hanakapi'ai has trended towards being a more sedative kava. Per the 19 reviews of it here. It also received 4 1/2 shells as an average rating.I’m not familiar with Hawaiian kava, is this heady? Heavy? Balanced? Thanks!
It's considered among the heaviest of the Hawaiians but factors like total KL% and whether or not you're getting all laterals will play a part. It's near the top of my list of most desirable Hawaiian Awa.I’m not familiar with Hawaiian kava, is this heady? Heavy? Balanced? Thanks!
No : ( . I didn't get a chance to order over the weekend and when I went to place an order on Monday it was already sold out.Damn, I didn't think I was gonna buy anymore considering how weak that whole pound was for me...but fresh Hanakapi'ai gets me curious again since it's typically strong (for a hawaiian kava).
Spending way too much money on kava this month, so Iprobablydefinitely shouldn't, but I also can't rely on other people's reviews cuz they all get slammed when I just get disappointed. errrr @SelfBiasResistor did you order some?
I would suggest the express shipping option. Fresh kava being such the treat that it is, it's worth that extra to be sure you get it while it's still cold. Until the winter season if I order more that's how I'll have it shipped, and I'm in TN.I live in texas where it is still warm. Would there be any issues? Luckily I am in the 2 day zone.
