I have to admit this lawena is the best new kava I've had in a while and definitely in my top ten kavas of all time. This stuff is fantastic and reminded me of why and how I fell in love with kava in the first place. Yeah, it's that good for me, really got my attention almost immediately after a few sips.
The only problem I have with this lawena is it is so good it eclipses the otherwise excellent waka. So I compromise by often blending the two as I bought a pound of each. Given that KT's Taveuni's Lawena is no longer or ever (?) available I have to say this is the finest lawena I can buy at the moment.
of course, other people's experiences will vary, but I respond very well to this lawena and love it.
Needless to say, anyone who hates it and wants to unload.....
