10 year old Hanakapi Ai hair roots

[Deleted User01]

Ok @verticity, I'll put those in my pipe and smoke it. Coming from those 2 guys, you know they are saturated with KLs and aged like a fine wine too.

Hey Chris,
Is there any way to let us know an estimate of kavalactones % in these hair roots?!
I am very curious as to just how strong they are, lol..
What about this kavas profile in terms of numbers?
Iv read a bit about this kava but nothing on the hair like roots lol so I am
left with questions, cant wait to get it hehe

I don't know yet but I will have the test results as soon as I get them. We know it is a very Noble kava, the name used to be Sir Hanakapi Ai but it was too long so we shortened it to just Hanakapi Ai, some day I will tell you the story of the Hawaiian fish called Humuhumunukunukapuaa.
That is the real name for that fish too. Aloha.

Chris

... ... Thanks for getting back to us and letting us know!
Either way you look at it, it's going to be some very special lateral hair root hehe....
When ever you get a chance do you think you could post/find a pic of these hair roots?
I'v tried doing a google search and have seen a few pics of small roots, but nothing that says hairs lmao
We would love to see what these look like! I can picture sasquatch hair, aged and aged from being outdoors for so long, very coarse! lol...

Sir Hanapaki Ai'? Really .... How about the Duke of Mahakea? King Mo'i, he's got a condo made of ston-a. Is this the Friday post already?

 

[Bradley666]

Lol...I'v always wondered how to pronounce these Hawaiian kava names! Somewhere on here I saw a little list of a few names...but we need a post where it shows all the most popular kava names written out in a way so we can say them the right way...My girlfriends always asking "what kava are you doing tonight?" I reply...ohh I dont know, maybeeeee that instant moi....MOWWWWIE!? lmao...she never under stands and I feel like an idiot trying to pronouce these names lol

i'm lucky (or unlucky) to have a wife that grew up in Hawaii, not far from Chris' farm actually, so she is constantly correcting my howly butchery of Hawaiian words. i still feel dumb for my misspelling of "li hing mui".
on that note, i will be placing an order for some more mahakea and definitely some of the sir hanakapi ai and probably some moi as soon as i gets paid on friday! huzzah!!!

 

[Bradley666]

Yup tomorrow "Friday" is payday for me as well! The good thing is I worked out a little deal with my mom..
She lets me order what ever I want..well I should say, what ever I can afford! lol...
And after I get paid I can put the money back into her account, I'm grateful there's money in the bank most of the time
so I don't miss out on stuff like this! hehe
As soon as I heard about these hair like lateral roots possibly going up for sale in limited quantity, theres no way I could have missed it! I stopped working for a few mins every couple hours to check Chris's website to see when these would hit the site, lmao...days like today make me feel like a friggen kid again!

Just placed an order for this amazing Kava. Have heard nothing but great things about you guys, and am so happy to be able to finally do business with you! I will be waiting eagerly!

 

[TidyMinion]

^ this is why I always check out the Forums before making a kava purchase. was about to go with one of my standards today but saw this thread, and thank the Kavagods the Hana...was still in stock! I grabbed up a pound just now oh man i've only tried a small sample of this but it was great! so relaxing yet still clear headed. Can't imagine what this special edition root has in store...

 

[TidyMinion]

btw, anyone get theirs yet and try it out?

 

[Bradley666]

As far as I know Henry is the only one to have tried the lateral hair roots so far..
And I think he got them a week before they went up on the site, because he got a small sample from chris's personal stash...
Mine is scheduled for tomarrow so I got my figers crossed the shipping goes nice and smooth! Lol

 

[Bradley666]

Oh think he even did a review already.check it out !
