Love where this kava flavor topic's discussion is headed.
Lajja, glad you are here, Welcome! email us please, we have been looking for the 'right' blogger for Paradise Kava. Maybe you are it?
Rose Petals and Saffron... This flavor was developed a few weeks ago when I was in India; and it was a fellow chef from Atlanta, Danny, who helped bring our flavor profile to fruition. We were chilling at Meher Baba's ashram, developing new flavors; it was a blast!
and... made me realize...our rose petal flavor was lagging till Saffron came along
Good Expensive Saffron! More on this later since this may or may not actually make it into production.
I took a mobile version of our lab to India recently, in an attempt to get inspired with the exotic flavors there.
Even took it to the remote Himalayas, flying with it in tiny little planes.
You should seen how airport security in these tiny places deal with a guy in a Hawaiian shirt, carrying a suitcase loaded with test tubes of all kinds + lab apparatus... and a big smile..
...I had all sorts of green powders (sweet barley grass, wheatgrass), chocolate pastes, a new Hawaiian lavender infused honey flavor (not sure where this flavor is going), chai masala, saffron, and all kinds of other ingredients, probably 75 items I wanted to play with during my time in India.
I pick up exotic ingredients during my travels, affording me the pleasure of being able to work as I play.
Like this incredible dried Lemon from Egypt, that I found in Kuwait recently.
The flavor was to die for, concentrated lemon freshness that was heavenly. Never seen anything like it before, or since.
Yes we will make mint again dear friends, I love mint too.
Sneak peek Flavor? - Working on a Mint Chocolate Kava with an incredible adaptogen from South Korea.
Pre fermented Red Korean ginseng which has a GREAT feeling of mental clarity and inner balance. This is just incredible stuff guys.
It costs Paradise Kava $720 a kilo in purchase cost and puts the saffron's price tag to shame

Fair deal if you ask me, they are that good.
Now if we could only make the Extracts more affordable so that others would see it's a great deal too!
