    Kava available in Australia

    Are you sure you didn't order from australiankavashop? They are selling Borogu and Melo Melo and posted in this this thread here. Whereas australiankava don't appear to know what cultivar(s) they are selling. The similarity of vendor name is very confusing.

    Kava available in Australia

    They appear to be selling micronized. If you are new to kava you may want to research this grind and how it differs from traditional grind. With micronized, some or all of the fibrous and other components that are not usually consumed are ground so fine that they are just part of the kava...

    How do you clean the strainer cloth?

    Washing machine on a hot wash to clean, but do not add conditioner. To quickly reduce any bacteria after making a batch, rinse the strainer bag thoroughly, wring out most of the water and then put the damp bag in the microwave on full power for a minute or so. Ethanol can also be used as a...

    Gorgor vs boroguru

    Szafirek, thanks for the links. It looks like the the relevant line in the 'Vanuatu kava list link' is "The following list is non-exhaustive and includes examples of vernacular terms used to describe some Noble varieties in the various regions". This is consistent with Lebot's commentary that...

    Anyone know if there are any interactions between Kava and these supplements?

    I have never had any issue with Magnesium Citrate 500mg, Melatonin 3mg, Vitamin B3 or Passionflower. Never used Ashwagandha or Valerian.

    Gorgor vs boroguru

    On Pentecost "Borogu is called borogoru in the north of the island and gorogoro in the south." Lebot, Pacific Elixir. Neither Borongoru or Boronguru are mentioned as a variety in his book, but see this post.

    Which Coles?

    I went to two Coles supermarkets in Melbourne today. According to the Coles app, both had 'Fiji Kava Noble Root Powder' (50g) in stock and the app gave the aisle number. Neither supermarket had the kava in stock. The grocery section in both stores said they had never heard of the product and...

    "Rooted"

    Rooted in Australia can have two semi-polite meanings: exhausted (e.g. I worked 18 hours straight and I was rooted); or ruined, kaput, (e.g. I left my hat out in the rain and it was rooted. The non-polite meaning is the past tense of sexual intercourse. Bill rooted Jill. Phil spent 3 months on...

    Current legal status of kava in Singapore?

    Thanks nabanga. I checked the legislation in Singapore and kava (piper methysticum) is listed in the Poisons Act so I am abandoning the idea of my friend bringing me the package. ::giveup2:::facepalm:

    Current legal status of kava in Singapore?

    I have read that kava is permitted to be imported into Singapore in small quantities and that there are even some kava bars in Singapore. I need to find a definitive source because a friend is bringing some kava (2kg) from the USA to Australia transiting through Singapore. I need to be...

    Video Pacific Regional Conference on kava

    Hmmm. How could they have a licence when applications haven't opened and the application process is a secret? Maybe I'll have a shell and treat the question as a Zen koan.

    Video Pacific Regional Conference on kava

    Well, as of 20 November 2021, NOTHING has been published on the ODC website with details of the scheme. How can importers make an application to import when there are no details of the scheme? The above video was recorded on 17 November 2021. Is the Minister serious that importers can make an...

    Are we early to the party?

    @Nodsey There is no indication the government has any intention of honouring the promise to permit a pilot program by December 2021. Nothing has happened to implement the promise since about October 2020. This is particularly disappointing given the Covid-19 pandemic and the oft reported effect...
