It's the most consistently good kava I've had over the years. I think only GHK's Mahakea could challenge that in my experience so far. By consistent I don't mean the effects are identical each time, rather I mean I have never had a disappointing batch. Yes, I prefer some batches to others (the one prior to this was probably my least favourite, but least favourite needs to be taken in context of the quality of this kava...) but I've never had any batches give negative effects or no effects.
