A strong single cultivar kava of complex and balanced character. As the name suggests, Melo Melo is known for promoting a state of pleasant mellowness. This is one of the most popular nakamal (kava bar) kavas in Vanuatu’s capital, Port Vila. Melo Melo’s chemotype is generally dominated by a big dose of dihydrokavain, i.e. a kavalactone that is associated with delightful heady mental refreshment and delight, but one that takes a bit longer to build up and is thought to act in a warmer, deeper, mellower and more lasting manner than the more purely euphoric and relatively-short acting kavain. At the same time, Melo Melo also has a fair amount of kavain, which fuels the pleasant cerebral aspects of this kava. The other kavalactones provide a nice cushioning effect for the body and just enough of sedative elements to provide a solid base for a good night sleep. It’s the ultimate “chillout” kava. Great for lazy late afternoons, slow-paced hang outs with friends, meaningful conversations, enjoyable sessions with good music and gentle body relaxation.

Melo Melo has a fresh, slightly bitter-sweetish taste with woody, grassy and black pepper notes.

Average chemotype: 243156
