That sucks, I got melo melo last week. I only got a 1/2 kg though so wouldn't have saved too much, but I still missed out. Melo melo is definately a strong smelling batch, I havn't made any yet have only smelled the bag. I've been drinking high DHMs for a while and wanted to try a different kavalactone lineup for a change.
Ed I'm pretty sure that the only variety that isn't from Vanuatu if Fu'u. I know for a fact boroguro and melo melo are because I have the bags right here and they say "product of Vanuatu", I'm pretty sure borogu is as well. I imagine the instant green kava isn't included but I don't know for sure.
