Just for the record.

@Rick.Sanchez I know you're questioning Chris' lack of pics. Last week he requested photo hosting suggestions. Many of us for forumites have seen numerous photos.

I'm not questioning his lack of pics. I'm just trying to look at things as objectively as I can, and I can understand why some people would believe some of Doug's wild claims. I personally highly highly doubt that @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava is engaged in fraud, and I think it's insane to think they're systematically picking off other vendors with TK. However, I think Chris could easily dispel the accusations that he doesn't grow his own kava, and I hope he does. I'm also a fan of transparency.

Here's a thought (aimed at no one in particular)... if @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava doesn't have a largish farm somewhere or at least several smaller plots where he grows kava then just where the f**k is all this awesome kava coming from?! I only know the taste of Hawaiian kava because I've been told it's Hawaiian kava, without that I wouldn't know the difference but I've tasted a lot of Vanuatu kava (again because I've been told it's so) and they taste completely different. I believe y'all over there might call this whole thing, and this is something I've only heard of recently, a nothing burger! Oh and there's a lot of fake news about at the moment leading to the issuing of alternative facts. Just think, without Donald Trump I may never have learnt any of these words!

This must be fake news? I am with you Chris, don't care, love your kava man.

The easiest way to put this to rest would be to show the locations of the farms, especially to someone who has an audience and can be trusted to verify. It's weird that the burden of proof is being put on the people questioning the existence. I have bought a lot of kava from GHK but I would like to know more about where it grows. It would also be great if each batch had a farm code to let us know which area it came from. There is always a variance from batch to batch and it would help in making decisions on which one to buy.

Lol why wouldn't the burden of proof be on the person asking the questions? Chris doesn't owe anyone shit, I for one don't care if he has fields or not. I personally believe him when he says that he has fields of kava, why would he lie? Who cares what any of you think. This shitting on Chris and pettiness from everyone is getting real old real quick. This is a kava forum not high school and not something for drama, the sad part is the drama keeps being stirred up by the same people, whatever you have against t Chris get over it mute him and go on with your life, you are just making yourselves look like assholes.

YES a voice of reason. Lets all leave this at that.
Aloha.

Mods, please lock this thread.

I see absolutely no reason why Chris would be expected to "prove himself innocent" by supplying pictures. Doug's claim that "there is no 120 acre kava farm" is a very minor one compared to his other accusations, and the burden of proof is 100% on Mr. La Rose.

Im not disagreeing there

Woah! Ok! Did somebody say Canadians are polite? LOL @nickbroken I think you just put this whole thing to rest very nicely, well done!
