This variety seems to be a much-discussed favorite in the forums, but I'll kick off a bit of Fu'u talk here anyway.
It'd been about six months since my last batch of Fu'u when a fresh bag of the stuff arrived at the end of last week. I'd tried several other of my preferred "light" kavas - mostly Vanuatus and other Tongans - in the intervening months but, with my first 2tbsp brew on Friday evening, I was reminded that NOTHING compares to Fu'u. (Also am I imagining that Fu'u batches have gotten more potent in that time?)
First of all, it's the lightest and easiest-to-drink (a not-inconsiderable factor for me) kava I think I've ever tasted - and I've tried about 15 different root varieties at this point. Second, and more to the point, it's just shockingly potent, with a light-but-pronounced euphoric head buzz (strong aural effects!) that gently tapers off with the passing hours.
A bit pricier than others but worth every penny. Thanks to Judd & crew for this wonderful stuff.
