I hope everyone has an excellent holiday weekend. I plan on doing as much couching and reading as I can, however somehow my plans never seem to fully work out, lol.
Enjoy this last Friday as we meet the new year head on!
Bula/Malok!
I also got some Palasa, same source, and wow. That is kava on a totally different levelView attachment 12861
I took a chance on Royal Fiji Kava from Amazon, but despite the promising looking packaging, it was basically inert sawdust like my last Amazon kava; Bilo Vinaka…which had clearly inauspicious packaging.
So I did myself a favor and ordered another bag of KWK’s Palasa…arrives tomorrow…Happy New Year!
Wow I just heard there was a rather damaging review of our products on this forum, so I jumped in to see what the problem was.View attachment 12861

You should keep in mind that the user above uses amounts that would make you or I run for the toilet. His "sawdust" may make any other of us rooted out of our minds. Shakas is what we would call a "hard head"Wow I just heard there was a rather damaging review of our products on this forum, so I jumped in to see what the problem was.
We are the manufacturer of this so-called sawdust and I can promise you that its one of the highest grades of kava you can find.
Would love to know which product you purchased and what your issue was with it? "Inert Sawdust"doesn't really give us much to go on.
Thanks in advance.
Looks like you're supporting this trash Kap'n. Nonetheless it's a damaging review regardless of how much he drinks, clearly he wouldnt know quality if it hit him in the face. Honestly speaking if the guy knew half as much as he thought he does he wouldnt have written this. You've got him labelled as a "review maestro" and he simply spitting BS at a product my team and I work very hard to produce. If he's not going to be specific about it he should remove this trash.You should keep in mind that the user above uses amounts that would make you or I run for the toilet.

Let's be crystal clear. We support ANY honest review. Because it doesn't align with your standards, it does make it any less valuable, in fact, it makes it more valuable because it helps this community.Looks like you're supporting this trash Kap'n.

lol, absolutely unaware and an astounding overreaction to a small blurb, in an old forgotten thread. I’ll give you a full response when I have the time, purely out of kindness, you’ve certainly shown me now that you don’t actually deserve it.Looks like you're supporting this trash Kap'n.

He's comparing us with another companies that don't even produce their own kava.
Another ‘lol’ from me, sorry.There's been some tension in the forums here as of late... sad...
I should add that I wanted to say that I (at first) actually laughed somewhat boisterously at this exchange here, but I decided to refrain from putting that out there so as to not appear too insensitive... guess you can't win either way, ha.Another ‘lol’ from me, sorry.
1) We’ve been through much worse, but they were all good discussions that needed to be had, even if they got heated.
2) Ever since I logged back in to the KavaForums, Lenticels seemed to be the person regularly making contentious postings… sad…
On that, we can agree, I appreciate the honesty and what sounds like your adherence to the scientific method.but hey, I'm more than willing to be corrected! Glad, actually.
Not sure how this would be considered an overreaction. Tell me how you might feel if something you put you heart and soul into was referred to as "sawdust" and compared to other kava that had not been given the same love and attention?lol, absolutely unaware and an astounding overreaction to a small blurb, in an old forgotten thread.

@The Kap'n maybe it is time to change my subtitle though, maybe to ‘ex-review maestro’…or ‘Kava Pro’, I like the sound of that.
Thanks Groggy I totally understand what you mean and can honestly say I support this sentiment 100%Let's be crystal clear. We support ANY honest review. Because it doesn't align with your standards, it does make it any less valuable, in fact, it makes it more valuable because it helps this community.
Not aware of the tension prior to my post but I think I know where it comes from. Nonetheless we must take the good with the bad and do our best to strive for continuous improvement.There's been some tension in the forums here as of late... sad...

Honestly I think it's too deep to dive into right now but it's something I've only seen in kava groups. It's different from the average hate filled keyboard warriors, I feel there was (and still is in some cases) a big cultural divide that is the "root" cause of much of the heat.Where do you think it comes from?
(I also was, admittedly, being somewhat facetious there.)

In my case the above review simply touched a nerve for obvious reasons and off the back of Fiji losing against England I was in a shitty mood.
Let me give an example where someone took a harmless joke of a kava drinking challenge, as a threat and offered to exercise their 1st amendment right if he sees him show up .Cultural divide?
