Nice one! Mine still hasn't shipped!
I'm curious to see how the FijiKava is...seems like they have the most high tech processing. And the most scientific approach to it all. My concern though is that the plants are only 2 years old...aren't they supposed to be 3-5 years?
On a side note, my aluball arrived today! Used it just now after a good workout. It's so handy and so much cleaner than straining!

Bula!
I just had 2 tbsp of the Paul's in the Aluball. I would like to branch out and try non Savusavu kava once I finish this and the FijiKava (whenever that arrives)

Been drinking the Wakanavu premium this week, tastes the worst so far, with best effects...why it gotta be that way

LOL! Where did you get the wakanavu from do you have a link?Been drinking the Wakanavu premium this week, tastes the worst so far, with best effects...why it gotta be that way
Apparently the FijiKava is no good...even though it says traditional grind it's actually micronized based on reviews. And quite weak...
Has anyone on here tried it yet?
Yeah it's micronized, no doubt! I'm still using the Aluball though, I won't just drink it straight. It'd be weak if you followed the instructions on the pack - add 2.5g to 200 ml water! I got through 3 Aluballs, double washed, over 3 or 4 hours, and it was fine - not super strong, not too weak. I slept well, so that's good! I might dump the 3 serves into a strainer bag tonight, and smash the lot in one go, see how that pans out...

So did you just pack the aluball as normal? I.e. 2 tablespoons per ball?
Yeah whatever the ball half full works out as...

My kilo of Fiji Kava came today and like others, I'm disappointed. It is micronized. Smells identical to their capsule product that I've had enough of, thank you. Made me a bit nauseous just smelling it. Had the Wakanavu again instead.
Still think Paul's is one of the better kavas easily and quickly available in Aus at this early stage (at the discounted price, at least). Who would've thought the booze kava would come out ahead?

Ok great thanks for the info.I emailed him direct to order as not everything is shipping out of Aus. At that stage it was just the Premium Vanuatu. Took a little while to post also.

Such a shame with the FijiKava. And unfortunately that will be most peoples first experience with kava since they are basically the only ones advertising.
I've only tried 2 "real" kavas, the booze kava and the BiloVinaka from amazon. The booze kava was definitely more potent!
Gah, that one makes me cringe a little every time I'm reminded, lol. Kava at the liquor store.

Ok, I tried the Fijikava today, and I can't drink it. The effects are okay, actually, I'd say this is the same product as the reliable airport kava I used to get in from Fiji that was the old incarnation of FK. It's quite a 'creative' kava--in that I can keep working and focus well while drinking. but the taste is just too reminiscent of FK caps for me, which I made myself sick on several times with the ol toss and wash. I was drinking 50 caps then 
Happy to sell on for $150 incl postage if anyone is into it. 1 kilo - 3 tbsp.

I'm so glad they're going through with this pilot and I sincerely HOPE they find the value in kava that we do.

Desperate times, ey. Kava is the only thing I've found to help PTSD symptoms without dire consequence so yeah, resorted to breaking open large quantities of caps. Not quite as soothing a ritual as traditional prep
I can tell ya it feels pretty good to have 4 kilos of powder in my kitchen cupboard now!

On second thought, I'm happy to sell this kilo of Fijikava for $100, exactly half price, if anyone wants it in Aus. Life is too short. DM x
Another vendor - I've taken a punt on 500g.
