I could not wait to try this kava when I got it in the mail. The first thing I did was open it up and smell it. It is funny I do that with all my kava, I love to smell a good kava and this kava smelled real nice, it has a typical Vanuatu kava smell, I have been in kava for over 25 years and I have smelled a lot of kava. I can say that I smelled only good kava, no old age (indicating it was sitting around for some time), no mold, no chemical smell from being treated with methyl bromide to pass inspection. This stuff smelled real fresh and needless to say I was ready to make a drink at this point.
I made my kava drink and after the first few drinks I could feel that typical high quality Vanuatu kava effect, I could tell this was high in kavalactone #4 the best one of all. I have tried just about any kava you can find on the market, and I do mean any one from any vendor I can find and I have the empty bags to prove it, I like a good kava, (not all of them were good but I have to try) what can I say I love a good kava.
So I feel confident in giving a well qualified review. 
After about 15 min I noticed that my muscle pain was not bothering me and I was in fact in the land of kava, I was right where I wanted to be. It made me even more happy to get a Vanuatu kava like they used to have in the old days, there was a lot of good kava back then, not just Boroguru but others like this one and that was a bit part of the fun of getting a new kava and trying it out.
When you get a chance to try all the good Noble kava's out there you will start to see little differences and some you will like better than others and that by no means says that I do not like the others it just says after trying so many you will find your few favorites and you will find the effects you like the best and this kava is a good one in my book. I will be back for more. Aloha.
