I love Mahakea, it's one of the few GHK kavas I managed to get hold of before I figured out how to get it delivered to me direct. Papa Kea is very much a heavier version of Mahakea. Mahakea is a nicely balanced kava with some slight heavy effects but with noticeable heady effects including some euphoria. Papa Kea is very similar in effects except for the addition of a lot more body effects. It's a light coloured and fine grind powder which makes quite a light drink. The taste is very smooth without a great deal of harshness. Effects come on strong and fast and last well throughout the session. Definitely a kava I will be buying again.
