So Wow would be more heady you’d say than stone but less so than mahakea? What about pure strength, I like heady or heavy, potent is better for me. Mostly because I’m cheap and want a bang for my buck lol.
I agree fully with
@Edward 's comments above on WoW.
I started out really not appreciating heavier kavas.
But Edward has nailed it concisely. WoW definitely has a unique blend of euphoric headiness and simultaneous sedation and mental relaxation.
It is certainly not outright heavy for sure, but at the same time can easily fulfill a heavy kava drinker's requirements.
Kelai from KS New Zealand is also very potent. It is very heady, but not at all jittery or anxious, and has a subtle underlying sleepy effect to provide a bit of balance.
Roots of Happiness Tongan Family Reserve is also pretty potent. Very heady again.
Their Vanuatu Noble Warrior, I think it is called, also looks good. Will be more balanced than the Family Reserve and Tongan Choice, but not overly heavy I don't expect.
I imagine all of GourmetHawaian Kava's offerings will be top potency.
I only tried the M'oi, which is purely heady.
There are, to be fair, plenty of very high quality, high potency cultivars and vendors out there to be fair, particularly for US residents.
