...
Haven't purchased from Hawaiian Kava Center for about 8 years, so I figured I should see what's up.
This stuff was the weirdest kava last night, it might take the #1 spot for the most non-kava-like kava, I've ever had.
It smells kinda like dried fruit or raisins ... somewhat similar to the scent of an unlit cigarette. Not fresh fruit sweet or candy sweet.
The brew is super dark, and tastes like sharp mildly fermented citrus and flower petals or something. Almost no kava familiarity except the numbness.
