Nambuwan?

Bula seems to be frequently out of Nambuwan. I found several other way offshore suppliers but wondered if there are any other suppliers in the states? Alternately, is there any other variety thats similar?

Nambawan is a mix of Vanuatu kava varieties with a good proportion of laterals. You could try Root & Pestle's Pacific Elixir (another Vanuatu blend), and maybe get a bag of Mighty Roots too, which is bitter but strong with 100% laterals. You can blend a bit of the mighty roots into the Pacific Elixir to make it even stronger, if required.

I recently picked up 15kg of Forney's Nimtai (Forney supplies Root & Pestle) which I think is the same blend as R&P Pacific Elixir with different branding. I'm finding it quite strong and good value.
