Fresh Kava Root Review Hanakapi'ai

This is some kavasseur grade root. It feels like a gentle kiss from the hawaiian kava gods onto your soul. At peace and one with the world, not a single worry or care. Very balanced it gives you a bit of everything.

I'm having a hard time articulating it right now, but it is really that good. Up there in the top 3 kava's I've tried this year. Tastes exactly like cucumber water. You'd think there would be more traditional kava taste but I can barely taste any.

seriously 5/5 A+ root!

Glad you like the Hawaiian cultivar commonly known as Hanakapi'ai.
A more traditional name is Uliuli a ʻōpulepule noho‘i. This basically
means "crazy, mixed up colors"
If you saw a stalk of it you'd know why.
It was re-found* by a Botanist from Nature Conservancy in early 1980's
in the ruins of a Hawaiian village in Hanakapi'ai Valley, Island of Kaua'i.
*re-found -- Hawaiians pre-contact would have known about this
cultivar but it was more likely a very special one reserved for a kahuna
or a specific area's people. Hasn't been found anywhere else although
today it has been distributed and grows on all the main Islands.

@Alia I really like the added info you posted about this great looking Hawaiian 'Awa. It really is a very nice looking 'Awa and as @krunkgod mentioned, this 'Awa really has nice effects too.
I had to add a picture to go with the description. Aloha everyone.
