Ok, the rating above cannot describe the New Nene. It is a single trick Pony, it's a horse tranquilizer.
So its 2:30 and I prepare by drink for sipping during the day. The Nene is almost White in color and I like that feature for mixing. Lots of calls to take, employee on vacation. My first reaction is that is has a little more Kavain than the older release. Slight ringing of the ears so I thought, hmmm, a balanced Kava. Then after an hour, I lost concentration. I'm supposed to be working out a software mess and I'm staring at the screen with a blank expression. I snap out of it and say, "Oh Sh__". The calls are piling up and I'm doing my best. I ask myself, "why are you losing patience", the answer is "you want to go to bed now". This Kava made me feel very, very tired. After work, I started to water the plants but gave up. I usually help my wife with supper but instead I went and sat down on the recliner and closed my eyes. Then I asked my wife, "are we walking". Yes ... (Awww fudge!). Luckily my legs know the routine but it was a struggle. Fast forward to bedtime. I retired early for various reasons including Nene. When I hit the sack, I felt like a huge dead weight that was glued to the mattress. Now that felt good and I slept good. The alarm woke me and I accidently knocked over the backup alarm. Not to worry, coffee and a shower heals everything.
I emailed Chris about 5 in the AM. "What is up with this Nene and is this the same Nene for sale on your site"? I have to ask this since I'm reviewing. He has sent out samples of his mad farmer experiments in the past. Here is the reply that awaited me after my shower:
"Hi Deleted User01, I hope that you liked the Nene, it is like I said, the best I have grown so far. Nene is the kava that we planted in the Lope Ola Project at the Hawaiian Emerson school where I taught about kava. It has the potential to get very big if you take care of it and now I can get it very potent too. I know in Hawaiian History it was given to children that were restless and maybe a few other things, I will try to get the exact info on that in the morning. This is just one awa that has one of the best potentials for getting big and potent. Compared to the other Hawaiian kava, this is one of the fastest growing ones. Also the nene looks a lot like the Samoan kava called Ava Lea and that is one of Samoa's best kava's. Talk to you later. Aloha"
Now I need to know if that Nene is for sale. More ... I had to take my wife to the grocery store before lunch, I usually circle the parking lot while she shops but not this time. I didn't feel like I'm in my 5 senses. This is NOT a daytime Kava. This is not a sleep enhancer, it is a sleep inducer. Do not drive a Vehicle or operate heavy equipment if you drink this Nene. I highly recommend that you put on your Pajamas before you drink your Nene. Sleep dreams .....
P.S. Today is not a Kava Day, however I'm going to try Nene again but not during the day. I'll do some Hanapaki'Ai in the afternoon. I'm going to try to eat early and take a dose about an hour before bedtime. I reserve the right to edit the review above if I get different results. I just have to make sure that my reaction wasn't an anomaly.
