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

This kava is unique. It has uplifting yet very relaxing and muscle melting properties. Tjis is a pretty strong kava you don't need a lot. Very good for body aches and to unwind from the stress of the day

I took quite a break from kava for some time but when I returned and drank a few cups of this kava, it placed a smile on my face. It was very easy to strain and was also a relaxing experience. I am happy that there are more kava choices on this website now too. Keep up the awesome work!

This stuff was really nice, would definitely recommend

Very impressed. At first consumption and a few I began texting relatives etc. Then the music came on. Light sedation about 4-5 hours into it. Although they say it’s good for staying home I did drive to Popeyes🤣🤣 Recommend this!! I’m waiting on the second one to get here.

This one is very enjoyable. It isn't for getting crunked, but a great one for a mood lift,as a great way to start a session....

I'm really enjoying this kava, as the other review noted, it's pretty balanced, but also potent. It's got a nice mood lift, as well as nice heavy effects. Puts a smile on my face and melts my anxiety away, as well as loosening my muscles and helping me sleep.

The taste of the Bir Kar is a little less appetizing than something like the koro island, but it's all kava, so it's kind of expected that it's not going to taste good.

Highly recommend this one if you're looking for something strong and balanced.
