@Gourmet Hawaiian Kava do you know when you will harvest more of this? If not, what do you think is most similar out of the other kavas available?

thanks

HI, I can harvest some in a few months, I will try to have it out in time for the Holidays. As for the kava that is most like Papa Ele Ele, well that is a hard one, Moi and Papa EleEle Puu Puu are the only 2 that are closet by looks to the Papa Ele Ele. These 3 'Awa's look the same in with respects that they are all short internode and dark. The Moi has little to no spots (lenticils), the Papa Ele Ele has a good amount of spots, the Papa Ele Ele Puu Puu has even more spots than the Pap Ele Ele. I hope I did not just confuse you. As for the effects, I would say Moi is the closet but still very different than the Papa Ele Ele. I think it might be a bit like Moi and Mahakea mixed together if you can imagine that.
Let me know if you have any other questions, aloha.

Thanks Chris.

I'm not too surprised by what you said! It sounds like Papa Ele Ele is the elusive natural "Moi'akea" blend that many around here like to make up themselves
I'll definitely miss this kava when I'm done with it; looking forward to your next harvest!

I just checked my receipts and it's exactly a year ago since I ordered this Papa Ele Ele!
