I was sent some of this lovely kava and I have tried it out over the last week or so. I've been using it during the day as well as in the evening and it's a lovely kava. It's very easy drinking in common with most Tongan kavas. There is a slight pepperiness to it but the taste doesn't linger...

I've realised I get asked a lot of questions by my customers to which I always try and give full answers. I'm thinking that posting them here couldn't be a bad thing to try and help others? I'll start with one that I got just now and see if I can add some more as I go along. If any other...

No doubt you've all heard about the death of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth The Second. It's hard to put into words the sense of loss that every one of her subjects will be feeling. The respect and love that we all feel towards her are immeasurable. Please all raise a shell this evening and...

I am living between London and Gosport at the moment after my wife's struggles last year and on a Thursday I ride down via Bognor or Chichester to meet up with a bikers group. I usually wait until I get home but I thought tonight I would have some kava while I was at the meeting. Rather than...

I'm running low on GHK Hiwa instant which is about my favorite ever. It appears it is out of stock so can't get that at the moment. Does anyone know of any good heavy instants around at the moment? I'm looking for true instant not micro.

As I haven't been drinking alcohol for a while I thought I'd give coffee a go again as when I was drinking I just couldn't drink the stuff. Uppers and downers clashing maybe? So for other reasons I've not had kava for a week or so but owing to my addictive personality I'm quickly up to 3 or 4...

As the title suggests.

My business partner Mark has been helping me obtain and send kava throughout Europe for a while now. He drinks what we sell so he knows his stuff and he is now set up to start selling the same or similar kavas that I sell in the UK but Europe wide. The address is http://kavaclub.eu/ and you...

This is a really good example of a Tongan Eua kava. The grind is quite fine and it has that lovely toast like smell to it. I blended 50g with 1 litre of liquid and drank in 4 x 250 ml shells spaced out every 45 minutes over a few hours. Lots of people report the taste to be quite smooth but I...

Being outside the US I have obvious supply problems and this vendor helped me immensely with my order and even put in some samples which was appreciated (alongside a larger order so don't expect it with your half pound order! :-) ) I am trying the Malo Tongan tonight and will be posting a...

This is the other instant I got from El Manaro. This makes a dark brew and it is a touch more bitter than the Kelai but it is less gritty and easier to drink. I use this as my go to for if I'm struggling to get to sleep. I would hesitate to consider drinking this for a whole session as it's...

I got two instants from El Manaro and this is a review for the Epi Kelai. It mixes up quite gritty but I drank all of it. You could easily strain it out and it wouldn't affect the potency much. The taste is quite mild for a Vanuatu kava even for an instant. The effects are strong and heady...

Up to now they've only been selling kilos so this is a bit of good news for anyone not wanting to pay out for a kilo at a time.

Here's an interesting question about dermo. Are you better off drinking a lower amount of a stronger kava? Is it the amount of root you use that causes the dermo rather than the amount of kavalactones that you consume? So would it be better to drink, say 30g Stone against 60g Nene? I've been...

My wife has suffered from anxiety and depression most of her life. She has been under increasingly more stress at work recently and in the last few weeks she has said that her anxiety levels are the highest they have been in 20 years. Everything makes her anxious including me. It's come to the...

So I was away from home for a few days and on the way home I forgot to pick up any fresh milk. Last night I drank kava without milk for the first time in over a year. I can honestly say that the experience was not as pleasant or rounded. I had Art of Kava Koro Island which is usually a very good...

This is a nice, strong and effective instant kava. The smell is somewhat unusual with a kind of plasticine smell to it. It tastes more or less like a Vanuatu kava, maybe a melo melo rather than a borogu but with a touch of that plasticine always in your mind! The effects come on pretty quickly...

This is a nice tasting, smooth Fijian kava. For a long time now I've been favouring heavy kavas to help with sleep but this is a very nice kava to start an afternoon or evening off. I find this quite balanced rather than outright heady. The effects build slowly and are somewhat heady without a...

I have to say that I am never disappointed with Koro Island kavas. I liked the one from Kava Time and this is on a par. It's got that lovely cocoa, chocolatey like taste and smell. I drink a lot of this kava and I need to be careful not to overdo it. When you get a kava this smooth tasting it's...

This is one of those nice, almost chocolate or cocoa like heavy Fijians. It's not as strong as the Solomon's or Vanuatu kavas but it's got that lovely mild taste and it's a good sedative kava. I sleep really well on this one. I've had a few Kadavu and Koro Island kavas, all quite similar, and...
