I did see that but I was wondering WHAT kinds are being used? Mahakea? Hiwa? Maybe a little M'oi (crosses fingers but... not counting on it). Yes it makes a big difference. Hawaiian cultivars are the best kava out there and they vary quite a bit. In Fijii in Vanuatu all over the pacific you have local kavas and many cultivars but we don't see most of them. Hawaiian farmers have done great work trying to preserve their glorious native cultivars but the anti-kava attack has hurt them and so we don't see this anymore. I LOVE drinking different cultivars and noticing the distinct differences in taste and especially in effects. I have not had M'oi in so so long and miss it(smiley: frown)

There was a post a few days ago titled "grow your own" and it has a link to an eBay lava plant that is a m'oi
I love Mo'i as well. My favorite has always been Papa 'Ele 'Ele and Mo'i being a close second.
It's too bad these cultivars need serious baby-ing in the field and are prone to so many diseases.
Kind of irony, since they are the best tasting and even the bugs agree? Not sure.
For single strain, nothing beats fresh.

Any chance of you offering an ele ele' strain in the future, Adil?

I like how you state implicitly what the cultivar is. All it takes to figure out exactly what you're saying is a detailed knowledge of Hawaiian cultivars and their preferred growing environments. Excellent back-door way to introduce consumers into the botany and agronomy of kava.
