anybody tried this site?

so, they have hiwa, two types of tongan, (one of them called fu'u) and also a vanautu borogo, which im wondering if it could be a replacement for vanautu3?

i wonder if the hiwa is as good as what the kavasseur raved about the hiwa from hiwaiin kava center that doesn't even sell it anymore....

gonna bookmark this page and possibly try out the hiwa soon

Funny you posted this. I just placed an order a few days ago with them. I'm hoping their borogo is like van3 now that Solomon isn't available.

cool let me know how it is.  im really thinking about the hiwa... but i'll wait till you get yours to see what the quality is

It taste and looks like hiwa or moi with similar effects. The effects peaked after 3 shells, repeated intake didn't intensify the effects. It's a good kava if you don't want a session to last all night. Effect-wise, no where near van3, Solomon or Stone but higher than Black Sands.



Might make for a good base for mixing kavas.



Are there any more vendors to try??

 

[starsofclay]

seriously, i don't think there are any more venders. the other night when i was feeling pretty good on a fiji/tonga mix, i decided to google "kava" and this website was the only one that looked any good. there was like one other one but they were really over priced, and i don't remember the link.



i guess technically, they never claimed to be van3, so your review isn't to say they are not good quality, just not what you were hoping for. i think i will go ahead and order some hiwa. was shipping quick?

shipping is fast. Like you said, the quality is good but I'm on the hunt for a van3
