@Tyler, the AKA endorses BKH and BKH sells kava not knowing if what they are selling is 100% the variety claimed. That seems a bit like the cart before the horse doesn't it? Shouldn't the AKA endorse only vendors who are 100% certain that they are selling consumers what they claim before, not after subjecting folks to such uncertainties.
"Although all of our kava is believed to be the exact variety or strain advertised, there is the possibility that small amounts of other kava strains are included."
^^^ Also from BKH FAQs page. This to me does nothing toward assurance, small is simply a relative term
We've received the most recent batches of Borogu and Melo Melo. I cannot guarantee they are 100% these varieties because they have yet to be sent in for flavokavain and kavalactone testing. I was promised 100% noble, for what it's worth. We will be sending samples to Lebot's lab soon.
Also worth noting is that this shipment is a coarse grind. I just made a some kava with it, and it makes great grog. I've employed some guinea pigs at the kava bar for testing, and they've all liked it. We're hoping the next batch is somewhere between this consistency and the very fine one we had most recently.
In any case, enjoy, and let us know what you think.
