I've read that I was just hoping there was something comparable to it that wasn't quite as pricey..and I'm not a fan of really fine grinds so far ..although I probably will try itFu'u and other Tongan kava (like shakas mentioned) are very mild and I've heard someone refer to them as the "milk of the Pacific". I personally couldn't tolerate the grind of the Fu'u but many can, and it's a very mildly tasting kava.
That being said, it's not the most potent so...
Nambawan. It is the most potent and also, the best tasting Ooookava I've ever had. Other than the fresh frozen stuff from Paradise, I'm betting it's the closest you can get to the mild taste of fresh kava.
Well.....there's dead buffaloes arse flavoured & dead wild boars arse flavoured.I suppose I want to know what the mildest most potent kava is ? Love the effects hate the taste . What's your favorite?
You need to bring ambient temp & humidity into it mate for refinement.Which arse is milder!!
Seriously though, Nambawan is the answer to this question. Have I said how mild/fresh tasting and incredibly potent Nambawan is? What about how absolutely sublime the effects are?
Ahhhh, my precious. Hey, it makes watching the Oscars enjoyable!
@nemo You forgot to mention my personal favorite: dead kiwi sheep arse. Doesn't have that gamy flavor as the other two.Well.....there's dead buffaloes arse flavoured & dead wild boars arse flavoured.
Not a huge amount of variance from those 2 really.
Judd did say they have some processing step they won't reveal, and it does have quite a unique smell/texture along with being extremely potent.Can you remember what is the secret behind Nambawan? IIRC, Judd posted that it's a blend of Borogu, Boroguru and Melo Melo, but there is some special trick in the processing?
If that's Judd's blend then Nambawan has gotta be South Pacific slang for #1It's gotta be Nambawan.
Bislama (Pidgin) for #1.If that's Judd's blend then Nambawan has gotta be South Pacific slang for #1
Hello! I'm new here but wanted to reply to two things in your post. First, I agree completely about drinking for effect instead of taste. I haven't drank kava (yet) but when I do the taste won't be an issue. I have had to drink a lot of nasty things before (supplements and K@ come to mind but K@ was years ago and I would never take it again for its addiction potential) and that's what I do as well-- plug my nose then cleanse before letting go (though I don't have to physically hold my nose for this). Second, is Nambawan really just a mix of three of his other kavas? Doesn't that go against it's description on the site and, also, why would it cost a whole bunch more then assuming they'd just be using 1/3rd lateral roots from each of the three? Price would be the same, maybe throw in another dollar or two for the sorting troubles?It's gotta be Nambawan. Personally, I drink for effect and not taste. I pinch my nose, chug it and flush my mouth with water before letting go. When I do it right, I can't taste anything except numbness and bliss.

What does IIRC mean? This thread is the first time I've seen that reference.The reason for the price (IIRC) is the part of the blend that is the mystery kava...
