Cold is your season
@Kapmcrunk ? I have the place for you, come here! I'll get you a job that lets you stay on-site all five months of winter to shovel snow for $15 to $20 an hour. The residence is fully stocked with food, but you can't really leave, unless you wish to expand your job description to cover the eight mile curvy rocky dirt road as well... Oh, and there are bobcats which eat deer out there.
@fait it is good to hear from you! more tea in Nakamal chat please. Kava is great outdoors I find.
@Zaphod Subaru's are known for being sturdy vehicles. I'm glad you are okay.
@AvaCat 100lbs of Squanch! How much of that would you say is Lawena that you drank? I know for a fact I have drank fifteen pounds of the waka and five or more pounds of the Lawena in my life so far, these estimates are on the low end, but damn, a hundred pounds? You know he does a bulk discount right? give him an email if you haven't touched base already, you're well on your way to drinking your weight in a single cultivar of kava.
@jewalker7842 beautiful photo, nice firepit. Were you burning softwood or hardwood? Since I can't see any bark I'm going to guess you burned pine. Did your mother and father drink a shell or exclusively you? Nonetheless, kava and fire pair excellent together.
Bula all! I've enjoyed some
@Squanch72 waka and some of that purple temotu from
@Artofkava which is nice tasting, I know what you're thinking, "Solomon islands kava" and "nice tasting" don't belong together, but this one is not bad at all, it tastes like noble Vanuatu kava.
My ratio root:water was 6Tbsp for the purple temotu and 750ml water which I drank on the kava ceremony. Then I made 6Tbsp Fiji waka in that much water and had only a shell of that. I froze the roots together so that my future second wash is a fantastic blend of two kava cultivars.
