In a few weeks I should have a little extra money to spend and I'm thinking of trying a new kava. I've been waiting for KBRs isa/Tudei, but it's been out for awhile, so I'm open to some other options. I've tried Chiefs Jungle, Van3, Tongan Pride, Kona, Boroguru, Borogu, Fiji Waka and some extract. I'd prefer to order from a familiar source. I'm also still kind of cheap. Of the above, my favorites are Van3, Fiji Waka and Boroguru. Any one have some other suggestions? Or just their own list of kavas tried and their favorites?
Just for fun, what to try next...

Indeed, Hawaiian Kava Center is great. Great selection, great customer service, great prices. I haven't tried much of their kava, I think I may actually have only tried their Hiwa and that stuff was just awesome. I believe Vesuvio Cat reviewed it on his blog too.
There is also Kcikbackwithkava or as they're now known as Kulea Farm Company, which has always been great. Their Fiji kava is excellent and their PNG selection if they still have it will floor me every time. My first kava and supplies were ordered from them back in the day, they hold a special place in my heart lol. Their prices have gone up though
They used to be on par with KBR and BKH and HKC but now they're more with N@H in terms of price.

Try some bee mellow from Paradise or some instant from Gary with realkava.com. Both are great without all the work of squeezing the root.
I second the instant suggestion. Both the Kava Kwick from realkava.com and Instant Green from BKH are really good. I was looking at the Bee Mellow and wondering how it stacked up to Paradise Kava's extract. Is it supposed to be taken sublingually like PK's? I'd like to hear more about it since I'm considering placing another order in the near future and may tack this on as a treat-myself bonus.CarolinaBC said:

I made a mistake-I've never had the bee mellow from Kava Kauai. I got the honey extract from Paradise and it is nice. I brought some to a baseball game and it was real pleasant. It is a paste and you just put it in your mouth and hold it there as long as you can. Between that and the instant from Kava Kauai you can sneak a session in almost anytime.
No worries. I completely agree that the honey lemon extract from Paradise is very nice as well as the chocolate orange extract. I actually prefer the taste of the chocolate one. It's easy to get carried away, though, because it's so damn tasty. Effects are mildly relaxing. If you're looking for something more heavy-hitting, I'd go for an instant.

Try stone from N@H, I think that is the best that N@H has to offer. I've never tried the WOW as the price just seems a little outragous. I think I'm actually going to try a totally untested vender and order Samoan kavs from paradisegyspy and see how it is, the shipping will take a while as it's coming from Samoa but I'd like to see how it is as that is a country I've never had kava from. I've had several from Vanatu and ones from; Fiji, Tonga, Papua New Guinia as well as well as Hawaii but nothing from Somoa. I'm also thinking of trying frozen kava, paradise's frozen looks nice but having a order 120$ worth at a whack kinda offsets me. KBR has frozen frsh kava for 25$ a pound that I'm thinking about going for, I'm just waiting for tudei to come back as that was pretty much the fire.
