Kava Curious
Aloha everyone,
I started this weekly kava posting on Instagram. Has anyone ever heard of Vakorokoro? Lebot doesn't have info on it. My friend Michael Louze says his guess is that "it would be an earlier 1980’ kava listing, it should give us an indication...
With this name, which sounds fairly Polynesian / Fijian, I would be tempted to say it originates ( originated?) from Shefa Province... Maybe even Vate.... unless it has been brought from another place? Korokoro is a neighborhood in Northern Viti Levu ..? Or PNG?"
Thought I'd ask here too, it was part of the VARTC collection before the major vandalism. Any info? I do have pics of it.
At the same time, any papers or info on kava cultivars (history, name meaning, uses, etc) as a whole you could share would be nice. I am always looking to add to research I do not have.
