I took the kelai to an event where most had alcohol, and it was perfect for socializing. Also tried at home and it was equally suited for chill mode at home without couch lock.

Kelai Kava Single Cultivar | Epi Island Vanuatu

This is my absolute favorite kava I've ever tried. I prefer kava that is very heady and not super heavy. This ticks all the boxes I want. Potent, heady, and relaxing. I've bought 2 kgs of Kelai and I will continue to buy more as long as it is available. I can't recommend this stuff enough.

Great company. Zac is a solid citizen. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Kelai and Epi Island are quality products. I’ll be grabbing all my Kava from AoK in the future.

This kava is like a warm blanket. Not exactly a “knockout” kava as far as strength but certainly strong enough for nice effects. Smooth taste and really pleasant, long lasting relaxation. Perfect for the evening.

Very potent. My first grog with this kava I used 4 tbsp in about 20 oz of room temp water and I was thoroughly rooted. Very potent, euphoric and slightly heady for me.

After giving it a few weeks trial, this seems to intensify after regular daily doses. So much so that I've had to reduce the amount I consume, Very nice chill vibe to this purple variety with a smooth, light root flava. This one is a great one to put you in a relaxed yet focused state before starting your work day. Of course, this one is also a great variety to help unwind at the end of the day.

Temo Purple Kava Single Cultivar | Solomon Islands

Artofkava has hit it out of the park with this most recent cultivar. A nice nutty flavor with notes of pepper, the powder smelled of green tea and very fresh.

Dominative in Kawain and Dihydrokawain reaching around 6% total it provides a largely stimulative effect for me. Effects begin immediately with a feeling of calming and all the stress melting away. Stimulative and anxiolytic effects merged for about 1hr post ingestion, dominated experience wise by Yangonin and Kawain. Post 1hr, Mesthysticin and Dihydromethysticin make themselves known giving a nice sedation and anastetic like effect to finish it off. Following main effects which lasted 1:30-2hr, a calmness persisted for an additional 4-6 hours.

Out of ten, Purple Temotu by Artofkava receives....

9/10!

I've been a kava drinker for a decade & daily drinker for the past 3 years. I've tried most strains of the big vendors & have a few favorites.
This is my favorite kava. I went through a pound in record time & made a second, recurring order.

I have made kava from many different vendors, different islands, different cultivars. This is hands down one of the more potent and effective kavas, and it has a very smooth and approachable taste which makes it perfect for the Karuna Kava style of brewing.

We absolutely love the Dokobana waka. It’s so smooth. The feeling is so wonderful after a couple cups. Makes us all happy. I have family get togethers and we all enjoy it. This is our go to blend.

I'd love to rate your product. I'd love to try your product. Unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet. It's been at the USPS facility in Florida for 9 days with no delivery date. I'm not mad at y'all, but I'm pissed at USPS. If/when it arrives send me another email and I'll rate it. My first order was amazing, but I dont recall the name and I'm not at home to check. Anyways if it ever gets here I'll give some feedback...

Just tried the temo for the first time.

It's so similar to the temo from BulaKavahouse that I suspect its from the same supplier. It's Fantastic!

Ground root has a very subtle purple hue, texture is pretty fine and powder kind of clumps together a bit.

It brews a pale brown color, lighter than most kava's I've had, and is noticeably very sticky/resinous, leaves a kind of coat on my hands after kneading, and it seems like that's a good sign.

Potency is great, only needed one bowl to really get going with a nice balanced effect, leaning heady.

Started with a great heady euphoria about 20 minutes in, accompanied by a nice light body buzz and no stimulation or anxiety.

Pretty much exactly how I remember Bula's Temo and it's been one of my favorite varieties in recent memory. It's a very good blender, I tried the Kelai recently from ArtofKava and was very impressed, and it's left me thinking that I bet the two of them together would be amazing.

taste isn't too bad, not really spicy or earthy, kind of mild taste. I usually add a little almond milk and it tastes very tolerable, unlike some other kava.

Highly recommend this one, you won't be disappointed!

If you're looking for a euphoric kava buzz that's not too heavy, and not stimulating, but also good for anxiety? The Kelai is near perfection
