Thanks I like reading experiences about other vendors besides the usual suspects. What I often get confused about though, is whether a vendor sells their own product or is just a re-seller. For example I just figured out that Paradise Kava makes their own extracts but they also re-sell ozias kava candy so they wear both hats. I believe there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. It's just that I would personally like to know. Normally when I shop on Amazon (not necessarily for kava) I know who I'm buying the product from, where they are located, and who the manufacturer of the product is. It helps me a lot in my buying decisions. To make it even more confusing though, there is a lot of private branding going on. It's where you take a product and then slap a new label on it with your own name. Many years ago, I worked for C&H sugar, and we would do that all time for customers (like Raleys Supermarket, Safeway Foods, or sugar packets for restaurants, etc.). I don't really remember for sure but when you're in restaurant and use a generic packet of sugar, I think we would print in very tiny print that it was Mfg. by C&H sugar. Micro wineries will do this a lot too. If I were to make a minimum order from their winery, I could get them to slap a logo of @kapmcrunks avatar on it for me (which is by the way an avatar of yet another label
)
