My understanding of the melomelo coming from at least one vendor is that it is not a fine grind, tastes piney but in a very pleasant and sweet way, gives a first impression of being "weak" but isn't, makes you feel very good and very mellow but also quite sociable and very attuned to people you are with, on several levels. The effects are somewhat sublime and exquisite, and not a sledgehammer. Or at least, this is what I have heard. Closest thing in effect, though not taste, would be leka hina.
It's one of the great ironies of life that the most potent aphrodisiac kava ever will become available three days after I lose erectile function for the next year and possibly/probably forever. But I've been reading about oral sex and hear good things about it. Only question is how to talk a woman into it. Wait, I know, just give her a few shells of melomelo, and, if need be, whimper and beg. I hear making out first helps.
