Ono is Great!

[Kojo Douglas]

I started doing a video review of this and after taking down a bowl I just couldn't muster up the energy to finish. LOL. It's really good stuff though, and I'll finish the review within the next couple of days.

Thanks for checking my kavas out, @Kavasseur ! The 'Ono is one of the best out there, no diggity...no doubt. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

[Steve Mariotti]

Yeah, I really liked Cactus Kava 'Ono. Very clean and uplifting!

What's the actual cultivar?

What's the actual cultivar?

That's a difficult question to answer. The answer I almost always get is "Borogu", which is never the actual case. In looking through Lebot's "Origins", the closest cultivar it comes to is called "Small Leaf" -- but I've never actually heard of this cultivar outside of his book.

It's delicious, whatever it is. I think there's a lot of stuff called Boroguru, Borogu, Borongoru, Boronguru, etc. out there that is probably not. Bogoru on one island might be called something else somewhere else.

I shall call it 'Ono.

Like pouni? This isn't Tongan though, correct?

This is a different product than the Pouni. CK 'Ono is from Vanuatu, and one of the best tasting dry kavas you can have -- in my humble opinion.

 

[blindy107]

Yeah. Reeeeaaaal humble...

I'll have to try it I guess.

On my third day of Ono and I'm really loving it. I've been off Valium for three days and can definitely feel the muscle tension and anxiety - until I gulp down a couple shells of Ono. Been moving a lot of furniture today also, and aching bad! Just had one shell Ono and felt the effects within 10 minutes - so much better! Freaking good stuff!
Just finished the sample pack and ordered more today. Hope it arrives soon!!!

I just tried Ono for the first time. Used the alu ball and probably 5 tablespoons in a few batches. Very relaxing but clear-headed. Much easier to drink than many other kavas I tried. Tomorrow I'm going to knead it for the first time and drink more!

 

[Harry]

mixed Ono with nene....oh no.......zzzzzzzzzz

 

[Groggy]

I just got some and I am happy that it looks like I made the right decision.

 

[Asmrtica]

is this a heady one? or heavy? I just placed an order for the sampler so now I'm looking for info on which to try for what

It feels more like Melo Melo to me.

Yeah, the name is a bit confusing.

 

[verticity]

Ono for me is a great daytime kava. It is relatively mild and heady.
