Hey man. Been drinking mostly what the Melo Melo has on tap these days, which varies a bit. I did encounter one particular cultivar they were calling "Mali Mali" from Tonga which they only bought a couple bags of to try out. People universally panned the flavor there. The bartenders didn't like it, and the people they had try it didn't like it... except for me, and I *LOVED* it.
I bought some while they had it. They may still have a little more. I don't know where they got it, but I'll talk to the owners next time I'm there and see if I can find it.
The flavor was and is bad even for kava. Tongan tends to be milder tasting than the ni-Vanuatu stuff as a whole for me, and this tasted like Tongan but had this really odd sour milk funk on it that was gagging even for me.
But the effects of this stuff, holy crap! Heady and strong and really tingle-inducing. Mo'i is still my favorite heady monster, but this one is a very special Kava indeed. I'll report my findings if I learn cultivar or chemotype info or get more clues on where I can get more.
