Just testing some random kavas and displaying the subtle variations in results depending on light and angle.
I'm not making any tudei/noble/adulteration claims, I drank and enjoyed all these kavas and as I've mentioned before, ironically the Starwest tudei is the weakest/mildest effects of the bunch. I will note that the Real Kava Vanuatu powder was awesomely powerful but completely sickening on a few occasions, on other occasions it was standard or mediocre. Also, the Cactus Kava sample is almost certainly lawena or a good mix of stump to root, hence the much lighter tone. This was also apparent from the smell, taste and effect in comparison to these wakas.

Out of curiosity, which one is your favorite?

I would like the experience with Real Kava's Vanuatu the best, if not for the late-session sickness and next day lethargy that came with the most notable experiences. But that's only judging by sheer balanced potency.
Cactus Malolo was the best tasting/easiest to drink and generally pleasant. Kalm's Loa Waka was a great, straight forward balanced waka, not as potent as my previous experience with it, but easier to drink this time.
Mystery Waka is my go-to kava because I buy it locally, it's cheaper than every other kava online, it's potent and balanced. It's the all around best choice for several reasons, so it might be my favorite. But it can also wear me down if I use it daily for too long and It's flirted with adulteration occasionally in the past...eventually, I always end up seeking out something different.

I am still waiting for "Shakas Mystery Waka" of the month club to come out one of these days..
